  • Publication number: 20230243214
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing device may obtain information relating to a location of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) in a wellbore. The computing device may generate a probability matrix responsive to the information, wherein the probability matrix comprises a plurality of probabilities each of which corresponds to a probability of the BHA's location relative to a geological formation. The computing device may determine, responsive to the probability matrix, a BHA location that has a highest probability. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20230244755
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality (XR) application system controlling applications in an artificial reality environment. In various cases, these controls include automatically suggesting XR applications by determining an XR context and identifying applications that match the XR context. These applications can be suggested to a user, who can authorize their execution, setting permissions for the application. In some cases, applications can be divided into components which can be progressively downloaded. By providing application suggestions relevant to the current context and progressively downloading application components, applications can appear ambient, rather than relying on users to constantly download, install, or activate applications. Permissions for applications may be revoked permanently or for certain situations—either through user permissions selections or automatically in response to determined user intents.

  • Patent number: 11669803
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for managing inventory as it transitions into a materials handling facility, as it transitions between locations within a materials handling facility and/or as it transitions out of a materials handling facility. In some instances, a total weight associated with a user pattern may be monitored by sensors of a base surface and weight of inventory items may be monitored by sensors at the inventory locations. When a user associated with the user pattern retrieves an item from an inventory location, the decrease in the weight at the inventory location will correspond with the increase in total weight associated with the user pattern. Accordingly, the item may be tracked from the inventory location and associated with the user pattern based on the corresponding changes in weight.

  • Publication number: 20230154058
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by an operating system of a first artificial-reality device, receiving a notification that virtual objects are shared with the first artificial-reality device by a second artificial-reality device, where the virtual objects are shared by being placed inside a sender-side shared space anchored to a physical object. The method further includes the first artificial-reality device accessing descriptors of a physical object and a spatial-relationship definition between the physical object and a receiver-side shared space, detecting physical objects based on the descriptors, determining pose of the receiver-side shared space, detecting physical constraints within the receiver-side shares space, receiving display instructions for the virtual objects, and rendering the virtual objects on the first artificial-reality device in the receiver-side shared space.

  • Patent number: 11649722
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated filtering and normalization of logging data for improved drilling performance may enable smoothing and amplitude scaling of log data for meaningful comparison and analysis without scaling artefacts. The logging data may be collected from downhole sensors or may be recorded by a control system used for drilling. A computer implemented method may enable industrial scale automated filtering and normalization of logging data, including calibration to a known standard. In particular, the filtering and normalization may be used for stratigraphic analysis to correlate true vertical depth to measured depth along a wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20230133195
    Abstract: Glucose monitoring over phases and corresponding phased information display is described. A multi-phase glucose monitoring program that includes at least a first phase and a second phase is initiated. First glucose data of a user is obtained during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The output of the first glucose data in a glucose monitoring user interface is prevented during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. Second glucose data of the user is then obtained during a second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The second glucose data is output, in real-time, in the glucose monitoring user interface during the second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program.

  • Publication number: 20230137510
    Abstract: This disclosure enables displaying of an intuitive and engaging enquiry on a touchscreen of a medical device (e.g., breathing apparatus, breathing assistance apparatus) that a patient is already using (e.g., in-home medical device). Since the patient is already accustomed to using the medical device for medical treatment control, the patient, who may be unwell, is more likely to access the enquiry and complete the enquiry. Further, making the enquiry intuitive and engaging encourages the patient to regularly interact with the enquiry, while ensuring that the enquiry is not overly tedious to complete. Responding to the enquiry can be made mandatory by refraining from activating or preventing activation of a component of the apparatus until a predetermined set of responses has been received.

  • Patent number: 11639265
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for associating multiple totes with a single profile so that items placed into any of the multiple totes are identified on a profile item identifier list. For example, if two users located in a materials handling facility are picking items that are to be consolidated or otherwise treated together, each user may select a different tote and move separately through the materials handling facility. As either user picks items and places those items into a corresponding tote, a profile item identifier list is updated to include an item identifier for each picked item.

  • Patent number: 11635968
    Abstract: The present disclosure may include a processor that uses idle caches as a backing store for a boot code. The processor designates a boot core and an active cache from a plurality of cores and a plurality of caches. The processor configures remaining caches from the plurality of caches to act as a backing store memory. The processor modifies the active cache to convert cast outs to a system memory into lateral cast outs to the backing store memory. The processor copies a boot image to the backing store memory and executes the boot image by the boot core.
