  • Patent number: 12689793
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for providing video enhancements during sports broadcasts. In various examples, first tracking data representing first respective locations of a first plurality of players on a two-dimensional plane at a first time may be received. First embedding data representing a formation of the first plurality of players at the first time may be generated based at least in part on the first tracking data. A first set of historical plays may be determined based at least in part on searching a first data store using the first embedding data. A first area of the two-dimensional plane corresponding to a play vulnerability may be determined based on respective outcomes of the first set of historical plays. A first graphical overlay may be displayed in association with the first area on a live video feed.

  • Patent number: 10458223
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for rotating a drill string to mitigate stick-slip oscillations. An embodiment includes a method of rotating a drill string driven by a drive system using a control system. The method includes measuring torque values of the drive system with a torque sensor. The method also includes determining a frequency of stick-slip oscillations at the drive system based on the torque values using the control system. The method also includes determining an estimated instantaneous rotational speed of the drive system with the control system based on at least the frequency of stick-slip oscillations and a characteristic impedance of the drill string. The method also includes adjusting the estimated instantaneous rotational speed based on changes in the torque values to define an adjusted estimated instantaneous rotation speed with the control system.
