Patent number: 10941635Abstract: An exemplary embodiment includes a system to determine which wells provide input volumes to gas processing plants using a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model. The system uses a balanced approach to model all plants and wells within a basin simultaneously. The model utilizes multiple publically available data sources including well production data, plant inlet data, and GIS data. The full implementation provides at minimum a tenfold time improvement over the previously used manual techniques while increasing overall model quality.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: EAST DALEY CAPITAL ADVISORS, INCInventors: Levi Austin DeLissa, Justin Henry Carlson, Ryan Christopher Smith

Publication number: 20210051220Abstract: An electronic device includes a first device housing and a second device housing. A hinge couples the first device housing to the second device housing. The first device housing is pivotable about the hinge relative to the second device housing. The hinge separates a first chamber defined by the first device housing and a second chamber defined by the second device housing. A flexible substrate passes through the first chamber and the second chamber. The flexible substrate spans the hinge, either by passing through or around a hinge housing. The flexible substrate deforms to a curvilinear deformed state within one or both of the first chamber or the second chamber when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge from a closed position to an axially displaced open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2020Publication date: February 18, 2021Inventors: Christopher Carlson, Steve Emmert
