Patent number: 11397089Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for routing an autonomous vehicle. A vehicle autonomy system may generate first route data describing a first route for the autonomous vehicle to a first target location and control the autonomous vehicle using the first route data. The vehicle autonomy system may determine that the autonomous vehicle is within a threshold of the first target location and select a second target location associated with at least a second stopping location. The vehicle autonomy system may generate second route data describing a route extension of the first route from the first target location to the second target location and control the autonomous vehicle using the second route data.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: UATC, LLCInventors: Bryan John Nagy, Xiaodong Zhang, Brett Bavar, Colin Jeffrey Green

Patent number: 11339776Abstract: A pumping system pumps material downhole, for example, to perform a fracturing operation. The pumping system comprises one or more variable speed engines, one or more variable displacement hydraulic pumps and one or more intensifiers. According to the desired or required load, the speed of the engine is set at an optimal or most efficient operating speed. The volumetric displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic pump is set to provide the desired output volume and pressure of the material from the intensifier. Varying the speed of the engine and the volumetric displacement of the variable displacement pump allows for the pumping system and in particular the engine to operate at an optimal efficiency which reduces at least fuel costs and wear and tear on components.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Stanley V.

Patent number: 11203495Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for sequencing portable containers of bulk material to provide continuous bulk material usage at an outlet are provided. The disclosed sequencing techniques may involve identifying a sequence for opening different portable containers of bulk material (or identifying the “next” portable container to open) and automatically actuating the discharge gates of the portable containers in the desired sequence to provide a continuous flow of bulk material to the outlet (e.g., blender unit). The identified sequence may be executed through a control system communicatively coupled to actuators used to open/close the discharge gates of the portable bulk material containers. A GUI may be communicatively coupled to the control system to allow an operator to select the desired sequence for execution by the control system and to display information regarding the portable bulk material containers.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Donald Anthony Belcher, Wesley John Warren, Bryan Chapman Lucas, Bryan John Lewis, Timothy Hunter

Patent number: 11192074Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for efficiently managing bulk material are provided. The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for efficiently combining additives into bulk material being transferred about a job site. The systems may include a support structure used to receive one or more portable containers of bulk material, and a mulling device disposed beneath the support structure to provide bulk material treatment capabilities. Specifically, the mulling device may facilitate mixing of coatings or other additives with bulk material that is released from the portable containers, as well as transfer of the mixture to an outlet location.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Holiman Hunter, Bryan John Lewis, Jim Basuki Surjaatmadja

Patent number: 11192077Abstract: Systems and methods for managing bulk material efficiently at a well site are provided. The disclosure is directed to a container support frame that is integrated into a blender unit. The support frame is used to receive one or more portable containers of bulk material, and the blender unit may include a gravity feed outlet for outputting bulk material from the containers directly into a mixer of the blender unit. The blender unit with integrated support frame may eliminate the need for any subsequent mechanical conveyance of the bulk material (e.g., via a separate mechanical conveying system or on-blender sand screws) from the containers to the mixer. As such, the integrated blender unit may be lighter weight, take up less space, and have a lower cost and complexity than existing blenders.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Calvin L. Stegemoeller, Bryan Chapman Lucas, Bryan John Lewis, Austin Carl Schaffner, Timothy H. Hunter, Jim Basuki Surjaatmadja, Wesley John Warren

Patent number: 11192731Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for using one or more pre-filled, portable containers, instead of pneumatic transfer, to move bulk material from a transportation unit to a blender receptacle of a blender are provided. A transportation unit may deliver one or more containers of bulk material to the well site, where the containers may be disposed in an elevated position around the blender receptacle. A gravity feed outlet may extend from one or more containers to route bulk material from the one or more containers directly into the blender receptacle. Since the transportation unit is able to unload the portable containers of bulk material without pneumatic transfer, the stackable containers may enable a cleaner and more efficient bulk material transfer at the site.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2015Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Bryan Chapman Lucas, Tim H. Hunter, Calvin L. Stegemoeller, Bryan John Lewis, Austin Carl Schaffner, Jim Basuki Surjaatmadja

Publication number: 20210370971Abstract: A vehicle navigation system may include a data pipeline that proposes routing graph modifications from automatically ingested data sources and that provides enough context to suggest an expiration time to remove the routing graph modifications once imposed. The system and method receives from at least one data source routing graph modification data including geographic location data identifying a location to which a routing graph modification applies. The routing graph modification data is associated with one or more roadway elements in a routing graph of a navigation constraints system, and the routing graph modification data associated with the one or more roadway elements is classified as a routing graph modification. The routing graph modification is added to or, if expired, removed from the navigation constraints system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Alvin AuYoung, Chaoqun Tao, Anny Xinda Yang, Christopher James Lyons, Bryan John Nagy, Quinn Zikun Shen, Michael Beeheng Goff, Alexander Rashid Ansari, Qing Li
