  • Patent number: 11835674
    Abstract: A sonic tool is activated in a well having multiple casings and annuli surrounding the casing. Detected data is preprocessed using slowness time coherence (STC) processing to obtain STC data. The STC data is provided to a machine learning module which has been trained on labeled STC data. The machine learning module provides an answer product regarding the states of the borehole annuli which may be used to make decision regarding remedial action with respect to the borehole casings. The machine learning module may implement a convolutional neural network (CNN), a support vector machine (SVM), or an auto-encoder.

  • Publication number: 20230354117
    Abstract: A cell handover method and an apparatus. Indication information is received from a source cell, where the indication information indicates to a first transmission configuration indicator TCI state and cell handover; initiating random access to a target cell according to the indication information. In response to first response information returned by the target cell being received, second response information is returned to the source cell, where the second response information indicates that the first TCI state is successfully activated. Cell handover is implemented through beam switch to reduce a delay of a terminal device during the cell handover. The terminal device returns the second response information to the source cell only after receiving the first response information returned by the target cell.
