  • Patent number: 11412350
    Abstract: Location mapping and navigation user interfaces may be generated and presented via mobile computing devices. A mobile device may detect its location and orientation using internal systems, and may capture image data using a device camera. The mobile device also may retrieve map information from a map server corresponding to the current location of the device. Using the image data captured at the device, the current location data, and the corresponding local map information, the mobile device may determine or update a current orientation reading for the device. Location errors and updated location data also may be determined for the device, and a map user interface may be generated and displayed on the mobile device using the updated device orientation and/or location data.

  • Patent number: 11408231
    Abstract: A roller reamer for downhole operations in boreholes, such as are drilled for oil and/or natural gas production, or as injection wells. An elongated main body has preferably three circumferentially spaced pockets. A roller assembly is preferably disposed in each pockets, the roller rotating in roller blocks at each end of the roller disposed within the roller blocks. Mating locking profiles, such as dovetails, lock the roller blocks within the pockets, as the roller blocks are moved longitudinally into the locking profiles, preventing any radially outward movement of the roller assembly. The roller assembly is prevented from longitudinal movement within the pockets by lock blocks also positioned within the pockets.

  • Patent number: 11409751
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for generating answers to questions. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a query, conducting a search through one or more data sources to identify candidate answers to the query, and providing each of the candidate answers with a preliminary score. The method further comprises filtering out any of the candidate answers with a preliminary score that does not satisfy a defined condition. The candidate answers having preliminary scores that satisfy this condition form a subset of the candidate answers. Each of the candidate answers in this subset is processed to produce further scores. A ranking function is applied to these further scores to determine a ranking for each of the candidate answers in the subset; and after this ranking function is applied, one or more of the candidate answers are selected as one or more final answers to the query.

  • Patent number: 11411462
    Abstract: A support assembly for supporting a rotating body may include first and second supports defining first and second longitudinal support axes and configured to support the rotating body, such that the rotating body is rotatable relative to the first and second supports. A rotation axis about which the rotating body rotates may be transverse to the first and second longitudinal support axes. The support assembly may also include a spine coupled to the first and second supports. The support assembly may also include a motor associated with at least one of the first or second supports and configured to supply torque to rotate the rotating body. At least one of the spine, the first support, or the second support may define a recess configured to receive at least one of an electrical conductor or a data signals link associated with operation of the rotating body.

  • Patent number: 11406837
    Abstract: A defibrillator assesses cardio pulmonary resuscitation carried out on a subject and provides feedback. The defibrillator measures bio signals of the subject, determines when CPR is required and produces a start signal and determines and when CPR is no longer required and produces a stop signal. A measurement system measures compression signals during CPR chest compressions, a CPR assessment system receives the CPR start signal and the CPR stop signal and receives compression signals. The defibrillator uses the compression signals to establish a first CPR performance measurement, set a performance baseline of the person equal to the first CPR performance measurement of the person, compare the further CPR performance measurement of the person with the CPR performance baseline of the person, produce a feedback signal and set the CPR performance baseline of the person equal to the further CPR performance measurement of the person and return to earlier operations.

  • Patent number: 11409805
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method performs a search operation. A matching unit is configured to access data included in a data store defining a database of matching query terms and a database of predefined matching keywords. The matching unit is configured to receive a partial query term entered into a displayed search access point. The matching unit is configured to match the partial query term to the database of matching query terms to create a list of corresponding matching terms, then match the corresponding matching query terms to the database of predefined matching keywords to define matched keywords.
