  • Patent number: 11935191
    Abstract: A data processing method for an analogue modelling experiment of a hypergravity geological structure includes steps of: performing two-dimensional photographing and three-dimensional elevation scanning with an analogue modelling experiment device with a curved model surface for the hypergravity geological structure, so as to collect initial elevation data and initial velocity field data; and correcting the initial elevation data and the initial velocity field data to obtain corrected elevation data and corrected velocity field data. The data processing method can realize orthographic correction and three-dimensional projection transformation of initial elevation data, as well as orthographic correction and two-dimensional projection transformation of initial velocity field data, which can more realistically and objectively reflect the experimental phenomenon, which is conducive to truly expressing the experimental results and facilitates the analogy analysis with the actual geological prototype.

  • Patent number: 11926787
    Abstract: A well cementing method is described for improving cementing quality by controlling the hydration heat of cement slurry. By controlling the degree and/or rate of hydration heat release from cement slurry, the method improves the hydration heat release during formation of cement with curing of cement slurry, improves the binding quality between the cement and the interfaces, and in turn improves the cementing quality at the open hole section and/or the overlap section. The cementing method improves cementing quality of oil and gas wells and reduces the risk of annular pressure.

  • Publication number: 20230128967
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product that allows the additive manufacturing of a component from a build material held within a tank, such as the manufacture of a hydrogel biomemetic structure. The tank includes a window with a light source positioned adjacent the window. A build platform is within the tank and opposite the light source and an actuator is coupled to the build platform that movie the build platform within the tank and relative to the window. A computing device is operably coupled to the actuator and controls the operation of the actuator to build a component by positioning the build platform within the tank at predetermined distances from the window with the build platform at least partially submerged in any build material contained in the tank, and moving the build platform relative to the window and the light source thereby building a component.

  • Patent number: 11233794
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing escorted-access management based on an escort-admin session engine are provided. The escort-admin session engine approves an external administrator's access to a resource instance based on a service team policy, while approving an escort operator to escort the external administrator in an escort-admin session that provides access to the resource. In operation, an external administrator's request for access to a resource is evaluated based on the service team policy that is managed by a service team. The request is approved with access rights to the resource identified in the policy. An escort operator is identified for the external administrator. The escort operator is approved to escort the external administrator for access to the resource during an escort-admin session. The escort-admin session includes an escort operator context referring to the escort operator having access rights based on the access rights approved using the policy.

  • Patent number: 10924497
    Abstract: A JIT service in a cloud computing environment manages just-in-time access to resources in the cloud computing environment for an external device. When JIT access to a resource is requested by a device, the JIT service retrieves a JIT policy for the resource that includes geolocation criteria limiting the geolocation from which JIT access can be automatically granted. The geolocation of the device is evaluated against the geolocation criteria. If the geolocation criteria and any other criteria of the JIT policy are satisfied, the JIT service provisions JIT access to the resource for the device.

  • Patent number: 10848522
    Abstract: A JIT service in a cloud computing environment manages just-in-time access to resources in the cloud computing environment for an external device. When JIT access to a resource is requested by a device, the JIT service retrieves a JIT policy for the resource that includes screening criteria limiting automatic granting of JIT access to users who meet the screening criteria. Screening information for a user associated with the request is evaluated against one or more screening requirements set forth by the screening criteria. If the screening criteria and any other criteria of the JIT policy are satisfied, the JIT service provisions JIT access to the resource for the device.

  • Patent number: 10589507
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for making a three-dimensional object from a solidifiable material using a linear solidification device is shown and described. Either a build platform or a solidification substrate has a curved surface, and each point on the curved surface traverses a trochoidal path during an object solidification operation. The curved surface allows the separation forces between the solidification substrate and the most recently solidified layer of material to be concentrated along a line instead of along a planar section which reduces the overall separation force and the likelihood of damaging a part.
