Patent number: 11966774Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for workflow generation using multiple interfaces. In some implementations, an interface for defining a workflow having one or more operations for a computer system to perform is provided. The interface can provide options that are selectable to cause an operation from a predetermined set of operations to be added to the workflow. Data indicating user selection of an option of the interface corresponding to a first operation in the predetermined set of operations is received. Code that specifies one or more custom operations is received. The workflow is defined to include (i) the first operation based on the data indicating the user selection and (ii) a second operation specified by the code.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: MicroStrategy IncorporatedInventors: Richard Gardner, Clayton Myers, Andrew Smith

Patent number: 11618850Abstract: A fluid design with enhanced proppant-carrying capacity utilizes a low-viscosity fluid with high proppant carrying capacity and low required power for injection into a hydrocarbon-bearing, subterranean formation. A preferred viscosifying agent that comprises a copolymer polymerized from an acrylic acid monomer and a monomer selected from: a) at least one carboxylic acid monomer; b) at least one C1 to C5 alkyl ester and/or at least one C1 to C5 hydroxyalkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; c) one crosslinking monomer; and optionally d) at least one ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, may be used to produce a fracturing fluid that has the pumpability of a slick water fluid and the proppant-carrying ability of a cross-linked gel. An optimization process to optimize hydraulic fracture design evaluates and quantifies the proppant-carrying capacity of the invented fluid and its impact in the proppant transport during fracturing.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventors: Branden Ruyle, Jian Huang, Clayton Smith

Publication number: 20220261730Abstract: A network computing system to coordinate a completion time of at least a portion of an order request with a target completion time, where the target completion time reflects an estimated time of arrival for a transportation provider with respect to a location of the supplier. The network computing system can coordinate the completion time by determining a timing of when at least a step in the preparation of at least the portion of the order request is performed by the supplier, based on an estimated arrival time of a transport provider. The network computing system can perform one or more control actions to influence the target completion time, based on the determined timing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Andrew Timothy Szybalski, Paul Clayton Smith, William Danner, Michael Stumpo, Sonya Ives, Clare O'Brien, Wendi Chiong

Patent number: 11352046Abstract: A lever assembly (20) has a lever (24) mounted to a lever housing (22), a plunger (26), an auto-return housing (28) pivotable relative to the lever housing (22), a trigger mechanism (30) movable relative to the auto-return housing (28), and a yoke member (32) pivotable relative to the auto-return housing (22) independent of the auto-return housing. The trigger mechanism (30) is movable to an extended position in response to movement of the plunger (26) for engaging a cam element (12) of the steering column (10) for auto-return of the lever to a rest position. The yoke member (32) interacts with the plunger (26) when the plunger (26) pivots with the lever (24) to cause the yoke (32) to pivot toward an engaged position, and the yoke (32) interacts with the trigger mechanism (30) when the yoke (32) is pivoted to move the trigger mechanism (30) toward the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: KA Group AGInventors: Timothy Clayton Smith, Christopher Glenn Turney, Kenichi Miyagi
