Abstract: Methods for producing hydrocarbons from subterranean reservoirs utilizing a production well having a plurality of fluid-inlet components spaced apart to define a plurality of production-well fluid-inlet zones. An injection fluid comprising a solvent is injected into the reservoir, resulting in a drainage fluid with a liquid phase and a gas phase occupying one or more of the production-well fluid-inflow zones. The production fluid is produced at a production-flow rate via a pump, and the gas phase:liquid phase ratio of the production fluid is modulated by orchestrating variations in the pump speed and one or more of the plurality of fluid-inlet components to prioritize hydraulic communication with a subset of the plurality of production-well fluid-inlet zones.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices are disclosed for simulated choral audio chatter in communication systems. One method including: receiving audio data from each of a plurality of users participating in a first group of a plurality of groups for an event using a communication system; generating first simulated choral audio chatter based on the audio data received from each of the plurality of users in the first group; and providing the generated first simulated choral audio data to at least one user of a plurality of users of the event.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to generating an engagement model to predict actions that may have a high probability of maintaining user engagement in-application or causing a user to reengage with the application. To generate the engagement model, an approach has been developed which incorporates features analysis of the application and application users. Users may be grouped based on similar features that are used to generate machine learning engagement models. The output of an engagement model may be a prediction on whether a user will continue to engage with an application. The prediction may be provided to a reengagement model which may output prompts to help increase user engagement with the application. The prompts may be based on an understanding of application users and their preferences.

Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for location adjustment with non-visual location feedback. A method can include providing, by a visual map program, an indication of an initial selected location of a user-selected location, detecting, by data provided by an input component, an audio or tactile trigger by a user, responsive to the detecting, altering, by a first distance and a first direction, the initial selected location to a new location on the visual map program, and responsive to the altering, causing an output component to provide an audio or tactile indication of the new location.

Abstract: Mechanisms for navigation via three dimensional audio effects are described. A current location of a device and a first point of interest are determined. The point of interest may be determined based on a web service and the current location of the device may be determined via mobile device signals. A zone that includes the point of interest may be determined. A three dimensional audio effect that simulates a sound being emitted from the zone may be generated. The three dimensional audio effect may be transmitted to speakers capable of simulating three dimensional audio effects. The transmitted three dimensional audio effect may aid in navigation from a current location to the point of interest.

Abstract: Space interaction (SI) functionality is described herein for assisting a user in interacting with a space. The SI functionality includes a sound generation module that generates three-dimensional sounds in various circumstances. A three-dimensional sound is perceived by a user as emanating from particular location within the space. Different modules may leverage the three-dimensional sounds for different purposes. In one implementation, a path guidance module uses a three-dimensional beat sound to direct the user in a particular direction. An exploration module uses three-dimensional sounds to identify the locations of items of interest that lie within (or are otherwise associated with) a subspace to which an attention of the user is currently directed. An orientation module uses three-dimensional sounds to identify the locations of items of interest that are associated with an entire space around the user.
