  • Publication number: 20240099921
    Abstract: A shoulder stretching device can be used to stretch or strengthen targets muscles before or after surgery, after an injury, or for workouts. The device is multi-functional and adjustable. The device can include a longitudinal member, a top handgrip and forearm member operatively connected to the longitudinal member, a curved elbow member, and a bottom transverse member indirectly connected to the longitudinal member via the curved elbow member. A lateral adjuster can be fan-shaped and include a plurality of locking mechanism receivers that allow the longitudinal member to be angled closer to or farther away from the bottom transverse member. The handgrip and forearm members can be adjusted along a length and can rotate about the longitudinal member. A user can adjust the location and angles of the members in relation to each other and placement of the handgrip for adjustability and to use the device in a multi-functional way.

  • Patent number: 11920417
    Abstract: An assembly of a setting tool in combination with a delivery tool for an adaptive support allows delivery of the adaptive support in a condition where it stores potential energy. Relative movement between a mandrel and a surrounding sleeve allows release of the adaptive support at a desired subterranean location. The relative movement to release the adaptive support comes from a setting tool that has a setting sleeve and a supporting connection to the mandrel of the delivery tool. The setting sleeve, when triggered to move by preferably an explosive charge, engages a piston rod assembly supported by the delivery tool mandrel for tandem movement to a mandrel travel stop. The tandem movement is regulated, preferably in the delivery tool, with regulation of fluid flow through a restriction to eliminate component failure due to high impact loads when the travel stop is engaged.

  • Patent number: 11851960
    Abstract: An adaptive seat is run in with an isolating object to beyond a landing location for the adaptive seat. The adaptive seat is released to expand and engage the surrounding tubular. Pressure from below acts on the object and propels the object against the adaptive seat. The object and the adaptive seat move in the tubular to a nearby landing location such as a groove or recess in a sub that is part of the string or another location such as a tubular joint where the adaptive seat finds support. An upper portion of the borehole is isolated for a time from formation pressure to allow running in an ESP from the surface. The object is removed by degradation or from being structurally undermined and the ESP is operated to produce the formation. One or more removable barriers are contemplated.

  • Publication number: 20230334859
    Abstract: A computing system identifies broadcast video for a plurality of games in a first league. The broadcast video includes a plurality of video frames. The computing system generates tracking data for each game from the broadcast video of a corresponding game. The computing system enriches the tracking data. The enriching includes merging play-by-play data for the game with the tracking data of the corresponding game. The computing system generates padded tracking data based on the tracking data. The computing system projects player performance in a second league for each player based on the tracking data and the padded tracking data.

  • Publication number: 20230279732
    Abstract: A method of preparing a mounting location in a tubular disposed in a borehole features milling a support location and then releasing an adaptive support to position it in the mounting location directly or indirectly by releasing the adaptive support offset from the mounting location and then translating the adaptive support to the mounting location or directly into the support location without translating. A mill centralizing anchor compensates for internal out of roundness of the tubular. Uniformity of the wall thickness at the milling location is determined in conjunction with the centralizing feature to obtain a mounting location that extends circumferentially for as much as 360 degrees, without materially reducing the pressure integrity of the tubular being milled. The recess, groove or equivalent that is the mounting location can have planar or/and arcuate surfaces. The adaptive support can be released using stored potential energy in the adaptive support.

  • Patent number: 11316581
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve flying, by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to a geographical location, where a wireless router is at the geographical location. The example embodiment may also involve detecting, by the UAV, a wireless coverage area defined by the wireless router. The example embodiment may also involve accessing, by the UAV, the wireless coverage area using a network identifier and a password. The example embodiment may also involve establishing, by the UAV, a backhaul link to a data network. The example embodiment may also involve transmitting, by the UAV, a notification to a client device served by the wireless coverage area, where the notification indicates that the UAV is a default gateway for the wireless coverage area. The example embodiment may also involve exchanging, by the UAV, data transmissions between (i) the client device, and (ii) one or more other devices accessible via the data network.

  • Patent number: 10079635
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve receiving a request to provide unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based wireless coverage to a particular geographical location. Possibly in response to the request, a UAV may fly to the particular geographical location. A first wireless interface of the UAV may define a wireless coverage area that covers at least part of the particular geographical location. A second wireless interface of the UAV may establish a wireless backhaul link to a data network. The UAV may provide wireless data transfer services to at least one device in the particular geographical location, where the wireless data transfer services allow the device to exchange data communication with the data network via the UAV.
