  • Patent number: 11966967
    Abstract: Current interfaces for displaying information about items appearing in videos are obtrusive and counterintuitive. They also rely on annotations, or metadata tags, added by hand to the frames in the video, limiting their ability to display information about items in the videos. In contrast, examples of the systems disclosed here use neural networks to identify items appearing on- and off-screen in response to intuitive user voice queries, touchscreen taps, and/or cursor movements. These systems display information about the on- and off-screen items dynamically and unobtrusively to avoid disrupting the viewing experience.

  • Patent number: 10748206
    Abstract: The DYNAMIC MEDIA-PRODUCT SEARCHING PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“DMPSP”) transforms media source, product, and user inputs into product metadata and transactions outputs. In some implementations, the DMPSP may receive an indication that a user is interacting with a media source, provide a product overlay to the user indicating products within the media source available for purchase, receive from the user a selection of a product, send product information to the user via the product overlay, receive from the user an indication of interest in purchasing the product, and process a transaction for the user to purchase the product.

  • Patent number: 10610284
    Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus comprising an electrosurgical instrument for delivering RF energy and/or microwave frequency energy into biological tissue, an interference cable for conveying radiofrequency (RF) and/or microwave frequency energy between an electrosurgical generator and the electrosurgical instrument, wherein a sterile barrier sheath surrounds a connection interface between the instrument and interface cable. The sterile barrier sheath and instrument may be a sterilisable unit suitable for repeated use.

  • Patent number: 8309840
    Abstract: A solar panel overlay for mounting on an underlying roof deck comprises a substrate and at least one row of photovoltaic cells on the substrate. The photovoltaic cells define a solar collecting surface having an appearance mimicking that of the underlying roof deck. A solar panel overlay assembly comprising a plurality of interconnect solar panel overlays is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8082217
    Abstract: A multiphase flow meter used in conjunction with an electrical submersible pump system in a well bore includes sensors to determine and transmit well bore pressure measurements, including tubing and down hole pressure measurements. The multiphase flow meter also includes at least one artificial neural network device to be used for outputting flow characteristics of the well bore. The artificial neural network device is trained to output tubing and downhole flow characteristics responsive to multiphase-flow pressure gradient calculations and pump and reservoir models, combined with standard down-hole pressure, tubing surface pressure readings, and the frequency applied to the electrical submersible pump motor.

  • Patent number: 8042612
    Abstract: A method of operating an electrical submersible pumping system that includes realtime monitoring of the wellbore fluid and adjusting pump speed so the fluid entering the pump remains subcooled. The method can include adding sensors within the wellbore and digitally storing fluid data accessible by a pump controller. The pump speed can be increased or decreased by adjusting the frequency of the electrical power delivered to the pump motor.

  • Publication number: 20090044938
    Abstract: A motor controller for an electrical submersible pump production system is coupled to a real-time software model using known correlations and algorithms to model the performance of the production system, including the production equipment and the well, and executes separately from any modeling used to compute operating parameters from downhole measurements for use by the motor controller. The real-time software model receives operating parameter measurements from a data acquisition subsystem and compares the measurements with projected operating parameter values according to the model. Differences between measured and projected values are analyzed to identify operating problems or non-optimal operating conditions, with automatic corrections and/or notifications being triggered.

  • Patent number: 6585041
    Abstract: Complex algorithms and calculations such as multi-phase flow correlations, together with mathematical models which include the dynamic behavior of the wellbore or artificial lift equipment and the components therein (e.g., a variable speed drive, power cable, seal and pump) are employed to derive or compute information relevant to production based upon actual measurements made during operation. The derived or computed values, typically for parameters such as torque which are difficult to measure during operation, are provided with the measurements for control purposes. Improved optimization of production based on an expanded set of parameters is therefore enabled.
