Publication number: 20240062162Abstract: A system for generating a graphical user interface for providing graphical representations of data processed by one or more machine learned networks that allows a user to quickly compare various metrics. In some cases, the graphical user interface may be configured to present metrics related to geographic locations of various entities as well as demographic data of individuals. The metrics may be generated by a machine learned networks, such as a neural network. In some cases, the graphical user interface may be determined based on a type of device, such as a smartphone, laptop, desktop, tablet, or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Dale Larson, JR., Dale Larson, III, Edan Shahar, Brett Turner, Jeff Judy

Publication number: 20210261883Abstract: The present invention relates to mildly alkaline bathroom and/or hard surface cleaners providing improved foam performance. In particular, a concentrated, preferably disinfecting, high performance foaming cleaning composition is disclosed which can reduce or eliminate the need for scrubbing on bathroom and other hard surfaces. Methods of use are further disclosed for bathroom and/or other hard surface cleaning. The foam has increased stability for a period of time, followed by dissipation with an audible “crackling” sound and easy rinsability.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventor: Dale Larson

Patent number: 10287843Abstract: A blowout preventer (BOP) includes a pressure driven operator that is equipped with a balancing circuit to offset pressure inside the BOP. The operator, which is used to drive a ram, includes a piston, coupled to the ram by an operator arm, and a balance arm on a side of the piston opposite the operator arm. Pressure from inside the BOP communicates to an end of the balance arm opposite the piston and exerts a force to drive the ram radially inward.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: HYDRIL USA DISTRIBUTION LLCInventors: Eric Dale Larson, Brian Scott Baker

Patent number: 9759018Abstract: A system for aligning an auxiliary line connection in a termination assembly of a marine riser assembly includes a terminal block secured to an outer diameter of a termination ring. The terminal block has a piston housing that extends through a sidewall of the termination ring. A ring adapter has an outer diameter sized to engage an inner diameter of the termination ring when a shoulder of the ring adapter is landed on a load shoulder of the termination ring. A moveable floating ring assembly is retained within the piston pocket of the ring adapter. A piston housed within piston housing is moveable between a retracted position where an outer end of the piston is spaced apart from the floating ring assembly, and an extended position for forming a sealed auxiliary path from the terminal block to the ring adapter.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Hydril USA Distribution LLCInventors: Alex David Stibich, Eric Dale Larson, Jamie Clay Gamble
