Patent number: 11933774Abstract: In some embodiments, data from multiple vehicle-based natural gas leak detection survey runs are used by computer-implemented machine learning systems to generate a list of natural gas leaks ranked by hazard level. A risk model embodies training data having known hazard levels, and is used to classify newly-discovered leaks. Hazard levels may be expressed by continuous variables, and/or probabilities that a given leak fits within a predefined category of hazard (e.g. Grades 1-3). Each leak is represented by a cluster of leak indications (peaks) originating from a common leak source. Hazard-predictive features may include maximum, minimum, mean, and/or median CH4/amplitude of aggregated leak indications; estimated leak flow rate, determined from an average of leak indications in a cluster; likelihood of leak being natural gas based on other indicator data (e.g. ethane concentration); probability the leak was detected on a given pass; and estimated distance to leak source.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Picarro Inc.Inventors: Sean MacMullin, Chris W. Rella, Aaron Van Pelt, Alex Balkanski, Yonggang He, Sze M. Tan, David Steele, Tim Clark

Publication number: 20240062346Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that detect surfaces and reflections in such surfaces. Some implementations involve providing a CGR environment that includes virtual content that replaces the appearance of a user or the user's device in a mirror or other surface providing a reflection. For example, a CGR environment may be modified to include a reflection of the user that does not include the device that the user is holding or wearing. In another example, the CGR environment is modified so that virtual content, such as a newer version of the electronic device or a virtual wand, replaces the electronic device in the reflection. In another example, the CGR environment is modified so that virtual content, such as a user avatar, replaces the user in the reflection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Peter MEIER, Daniel KURZ, Brian Chris CLARK, Mohamed Selim BEN HIMANE

Publication number: 20240060440Abstract: Described herein is a process for increasing mass flow of an exhaust gas through a catalytic converter system for a vehicle. The process may comprise determining a centerline and corresponding cumulative centerline bend angle of a first catalytic converter system spanning from an inlet point at a first end of the catalytic converter systems exhaust pipe to an outlet point at a second end of the catalytic converter systems extension pipe. Once determined, the cumulative centerline bend angle may be increased by increasing an individual bend radius of at least one bend within the exhaust pipe and/or within the extension pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Prototitan, LLCInventors: Chris Clark, JR., David Rochau
