  • Patent number: 11138201
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a platform and language agnostic method for generating inter- and intra-data type aggregations of heterogenous disparate data upon which various operations can be performed without altering the structure of the query or resulting distributed data set representation to account for which specific data sources are included in the query.

  • Patent number: 11119209
    Abstract: A first method includes receiving a first reflected radar signal from a target in a first field of view and receiving a second reflected radar signal from a target in a second field of view offset from the first field of view by a predetermined distance; transforming the first and second reflected radar signals to obtain first and second sets of frequency coefficients, from which a frequency-dependent phase difference is obtained; and calculating a time-delay from the slope of the frequency dependence. A second method includes obtaining summed difference values between the first and second radar responses, where each of the summed difference values corresponds to different time shifts between the first and second radar response, and deriving from the summed difference values a time-delay associated with the target's motion from the first field of view to the second field of view. A third method combines the time-delays or associated speeds obtained from independent estimators.

  • Publication number: 20210213542
    Abstract: A pocket hole jig system is presented having a guide assembly having a drilling face and a plurality of drill guides that intersect with the drilling face. The main body of the guide assembly is formed of a first material that is rigid and provides structural integrity to the guide assembly. The first material has a low coefficient of friction. A grip layer is placed on the drilling face of the guide assembly. The grip layer is formed of a softer material that has a higher coefficient of friction than the material that forms the main body of the guide assembly. When placed on a workpiece, the grip layer provides increased grip on the workpiece thereby holding the workpiece and guide assembly in place and requiring less clamping pressure to hold the workpiece and guide assembly together.

  • Publication number: 20210138560
    Abstract: A pocket hole jig system is formed of a plurality of jig segments, wherein each jig segment includes a main body having a drill guide and a lock feature that protrudes outward on a first side of the main body and a recess that protrudes inward on a second side of the main body. The system also includes one or more spacers that have a main body of varying width and a lock feature that protrudes outward on a first side of the main body and a recess that protrudes inward on a second side of the main body. Jig segments and spacers may be connected together by inserting the lock feature of a jig segment or spacer into the recess of an adjacent jig segment or spacer. In one arrangement opposing jig segments and/or spacers lock together with a combination of rotational movement as well as sliding movement.

  • Publication number: 20210131224
    Abstract: This disclosure presents a downhole device and method to trigger, shift, and/or operate a downhole device of a drilling string in a wellbore. At a high level, the disclosed device causes a portion of drilling fluids to bypass the drill bit and into the annulus. The bypass may be triggered upon certain conditions related to the rotation speeds of the drill string or other conditions such as the pressure of the drilling fluids. For example, the drill string may be rotated in some protocol of operation (e.g., stop at certain rpm, and/or stop at certain other rpm) to describe a recognizable series of signals to an accelerometer and/or microprocessor that will communicate to pumps or valves to operate or pause/stop operations.

  • Patent number: 10408035
    Abstract: An intake for a downhole pump includes an outer tubular member having a central axis. In addition, the intake includes an inner tubular member disposed within the outer tubular member. The inner tubular member is radially spaced from the outer tubular member to form an outer annular flow path radially positioned between the inner tubular member and the outer tubular member. Further, the intake includes a central shaft rotatably disposed within the inner tubular member. The central shaft is radially spaced from the inner tubular member to form an inner annular flow path radially positioned between the central shaft and the inner tubular member. Still further, the intake includes a plurality of inlet apertures extending radially through the outer tubular member and in fluid communication with the outer annular flow path. Each of the plurality of inlet apertures has a circumferential width W between 5% and 50% of a total circumference of the outer tubular member.
