Publication number: 20220179926Abstract: In network devices, during manufacturing, input for designation of a region code to be a non-specific region code is stored in a BIOS memory of the network device, and a specific region code is stored off the BIOS. During boot up, the BIOS is checked for a specific region code to regulate wireless transmissions at a physical location of operation. Responsive to receiving the non-specific region code from BIOS, the specific region code is requested from a region code server based on a network device identifier. Once received, the region code is stored in flash memory, until rebooted or otherwise reset, rather than BIOS.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Yong Zhang, Peter Yongchun Liu, Koroush Akhavan-Saraf, Xin Wang, Andrew Q.

Patent number: 11280929Abstract: A substance saturation sensing method includes making a resistivity measurement of a formation proximate to a well with a logging tool prior to installation of a casing string in the well. After the casing string is installed in the well, a first set of measurements of the formation is made with a monitoring system to generate a measured response. A set of calibration values is calculated based on the first set of measurements to produce a resistivity that matches the resistivity measurement. A second set of measurements of the formation is made with the monitoring system during or after saturating of a substance occurs in the formation. At least one parameter indicative of the saturating of the substance in the formation is determined based on the second set of the measurements and the set of calibration values.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Burkay Donderici, Ahmed E.
