  • Publication number: 20250257081
    Abstract: Monoorgano tin trialkoxide compounds having chemical formula R?SnX3 and containing less than about 5 mol % R?2SnX2 are described. R? is an optionally substituted organic substituent having about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms and each X is independently ORf, wherein Rf is a fluorinated organic substituent having about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms. Methods for synthesizing and purifying these compounds are also provided. The monoorgano tin compounds may be used for the formation of high-resolution EUV lithography patterning precursors and are attractive due to their high purity and minimal concentration of diorgano tin impurities.

  • Publication number: 20250257646
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring for monitoring and evaluating conditions associated with a wellbore and wellbore operations that use neural operators instead of computationally intensive iterative differential equations. Such systems and techniques allow for determinations to be made as operations associated with a wellbore are performed. Instead of having to wait for computationally intensive tasks to be performed or take risks of proceeding with a wellbore operation without real-time evaluations being performed, these wellbore operations may be continued while determinations are timely made, thus improving operation of computing systems that perform evaluations and that make decisions regarding safely and efficiently performing wellbore operations such as drilling a wellbore, cementing wellbore casings in place, or injecting fluids into formations of the Earth.

  • Publication number: 20250257082
    Abstract: Monoorgano tin trialkoxide compounds having chemical formula R?Sn(OR)3 and containing less than about 5 mol % diorgano tin dialkoxide are described. R? is a linear or branched, optionally fluorinated, unsaturated hydrocarbon group having about 2 to about 20 carbon atoms and each R is independently a linear or branched, optionally fluorinated, alkyl group having about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms. Methods for synthesizing and purifying these compounds are also provided. The monoorgano tin compounds may be used for the formation of high-resolution EUV lithography patterning precursors and are attractive due to their high purity and minimal concentration of diorgano tin impurities.

  • Publication number: 20250248506
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sporting goods equipment bag with a unique, user-friendly storage and retrieval mechanism. The bag enables players to quickly and easily access balls. The bag has one or more external access panels which cover one or more bag apertures. A bag aperture enables a user to access the interior contents of the bag. An internal ball sleeve is attached to the interior surface of the bag. The user may insert balls into the sleeve compartment through the sleeve opening. The sleeve opening is positioned near the bag aperture such that a user may reach through the bag aperture into the ball sleeve. Thus, a user may easily open the access panel, reach through the bag aperture, and retrieve a ball. This design simplifies the process of storing and retrieving balls, improving user convenience.

  • Patent number: 12381876
    Abstract: Access to secured items in a computing system is requested instead of being persistent. Access requests may be granted on a just-in-time basis. Anomalous access requests are detected using machine learning models based on historic patterns. Models utilizing conditional probability or collaborative filtering also facilitate the creation of human-understandable explanations of threat assessments. Individual machine learning models are based on historic data of users, peers, cohorts, services, or resources. Models may be weighted, and then aggregated in a subsystem to produce an access request risk score. Scoring principles and conditions utilized in the scoring subsystem may include probabilities, distribution entropies, and data item counts. A feedback loop allows incremental refinement of the subsystem. Anomalous requests that would be automatically approved under a policy may instead face human review, and low threat requests that would have been delayed by human review may instead be approved automatically.

  • Patent number: 12371985
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of determining a wellbore position in a subterranean formation by using gravity sensors to detect a gravity anomaly related to a presence of the wellbore, contents within the wellbore, and or fluid flowing through an interface of the wellbore. A model of the subterranean formation predicts a gravity profile, including the gravity anomaly, and the model may be constrained with a depth of the gravity anomaly as calculated with at least one of a known dimension or a known gravitational field change related to the gravity anomaly. The wellbore position is determined within the model by changing model input data until the gravity profile converges with the gravity anomaly.
