  • Patent number: 12222157
    Abstract: A refrigerator and a control method. The method includes: in response to one or more doors corresponding to one or more storage compartments of a refrigerator being all detected to be closed, obtaining a first of information; determining, by comparing the first set of information with a second set of information, one or more target tags placed in a first storage compartment of the one or more storage compartments, and determining one or more target placement times corresponding to the one or more target tags according to a current time, wherein the second set of information is an information set generated according to identity information of each RFID tag in the one or more storage compartments obtained in response to that the doors are detected to be closed last time immediately before this closing of the doors.

  • Patent number: 11242746
    Abstract: A method for planning and drilling a well includes receiving geomechanical and geological data for a subterranean domain, and receiving an initial well trajectory including a well path and survey points. The method includes conducting a wellbore stability analysis along the well trajectory based in part on the geomechanical and geological data. Conducting the wellbore stability analysis includes identifying a subset of the well path intervals along the well trajectory as having a risk for instability. The method includes calculating a geomechanics nudge for one or more survey points along the well trajectory. The geomechanics nudge is calculated as a derivative of the wellbore stability at the one or more survey points. The method includes modifying the one or more survey points and the one or more well path intervals connected thereto based in part on the geomechanics nudge to generate a modified well trajectory.

  • Patent number: 9889798
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for improved cross-path detection between a host vehicle and a target object. In general, the cross-path angle by solving a multiple hypothesis problem characterized by independent calculations across a first plurality of time points, the multiple hypothesis problem supposing a plurality of possible cross-path angle solutions, each cross-path angle solution representing a corresponding possible trajectory for the target object. Advantageously, a cross-traffic alert or other feedback may be triggered based at least partially on whether the target object is within a region of interest, wherein the region of interest is determined at least in part based on the estimated cross-path angle. In some embodiments the cross-path angle may be determined by selecting a cross-path angle solution from the plurality of possible cross-path angle solutions which minimizes a variance between results of the independent calculations across the first plurality of time points.
