  • Patent number: 11958328
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed that assist a user in performing proper setup of a vehicle suspension. A user may utilize a device equipped with an image sensor to assist the user in proper setup of a vehicle suspension. The device executes an application that prompts the user for input and instructs the user to perform a number of steps for adjusting the suspension components. In one embodiment, the application does not communicate with sensors on the vehicle. In another embodiment, the application may communicate with various sensors located on the vehicle to provide feedback to the device during the setup routine. In one embodiment, the device may analyze a digital image of a suspension component to provide feedback about a physical characteristic of the component.

  • Publication number: 20230359939
    Abstract: A data analysis computer system is provided that receives a timeseries dataset and generates implied data from the dataset. The dataset is further vectorized to reduce the dimensionality of the data. Users provide input to identify windows of data that either positively or negatively correlate to instances of a given type of occurrence within the data. The user defined windows are converted to fixed sized windows and a machine learning algorithm constructs a model from the data. The model is used to predict instances of the given type of occurrence in newly received data. Validation of the predications may be performed.

  • Patent number: 11434728
    Abstract: A completion system apparatus having a body comprising a throughbore and lateral flow ports for providing access through a wall of the body and a valve arrangement including a first, uphole, valve assembly and a second, downhole, valve assembly. The valve arrangement is configurable between a first, open, configuration in which passage of fluid through the axial throughbore is permitted and a second, activated, configuration, the valve arrangement in the second, activated, configuration preventing passage of fluid in the first, downhole, direction so as to direct the fluid through the lateral flow ports while permitting the passage of fluid through the apparatus in a second, uphole, direction so as to permit return passage of the fluid through the apparatus. A bypass arrangement is configured to permit fluid travelling in the second direction to bypass the first valve assembly.

  • Patent number: 11306561
    Abstract: A completion assembly defines a throughbore and comprises an isolation valve configurable between an open state (permitting fluid to flow through the throughbore) and a closed state (preventing fluid from flowing through the throughbore). A method for use in installing the assembly into a wellbore in a single trip comprises running the assembly into the wellbore with the valve in the open state until a downhole end of the assembly reaches a target position; injecting a fluid through the throughbore and the valve when the valve is in the open state; configuring the valve into the closed state; and performing a pressure integrity test of the throughbore above the valve. The valve is configurable between the open and closed states without any requirement for the valve to be mechanically engaged by an activation member or a tool whilst the valve receives power from a power source.

  • Publication number: 20190178062
    Abstract: An access device installs on a wellscreen joint during manufacture and allows access to one or more spaces or layers where tracer elements can be installed adjacent the joint's screen jacket (i.e., internal and/or external to the screen jacket). Portion of the access device is removable to allow installation of the tracer elements after the joint has been manufactured. With the tracer elements installed, the access device can be reassembled and locked in place. Any various mechanism can allow the access device to be partially removed, the tracer elements to be installed, and the access device to be reassembled in place. For example, an end ring holding the jacket on the basepipe can have at least one channel communicating with a space or layer for insertion of the tracer elements. A removable cover can be removed to allow access to the at least one channel and can be reattached for the wellscreen to be used downhole.

  • Patent number: 10081832
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the design and/or production of a probe or primer that is capable of hybridizing to a plurality of sites in a sample comprising nucleic acid. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for detecting and amplifying nucleic acid using such a probe or primer, for example, for identification of a strain, species or genera. Probe or primer sequences are determined by reference to codon usage bias of a target nucleic acid. In addition, the present invention provides methods for determining codon distribution and/or base pair distance between codons in a nucleic acid.
