  • Publication number: 20240133269
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing drilling advisory recommendation using a drilling advisory engine in a material processing system that supports drilling operations. A drilling advisory recommendation identifies prescriptions (e.g., an arrangement of components and settings) in the material processing system to support real time optimization of drilling operations. The drilling advisory engine can be implemented as a real time prescriptive tool for operators (e.g., field personnel) to offer guidance for drilling operations. In operation, input data comprising real time sensor data of drilling operations, historical drilling information, and contextual drilling information associated with a drilling site are accessed. The input data is analyzed using two or more drilling advisory models that support generating drilling advisory recommendations that identify prescriptions for drilling operations.

  • Patent number: 9332875
    Abstract: A coffee maker comprises a filter basket assembly that enables two coffee dispensing modes. The assembly comprises a filter basket, an actuator that cooperates with a carafe and a motor driven valve. The actuator stops coffee from dispensing when the carafe is removed, but can be defeated by the user to dispense into a cup or mug when the carafe is absent.

  • Patent number: 9032866
    Abstract: Disclosed in this specification is a drip filter coffee maker that includes features to improve the taste of the brewed coffee and to enhance to ease of use. In one embodiment, an integral plate burr grinder sends coffee ground down a coffee chute that feeds the filter cone. A chute door at the end of the coffee chute prevents vapors or condensation from entering the coffee chute. In another embodiment, the eject tray that carries the filter cone may be coupled with a dampened spring biasing mechanism which moderates the eject motion. Further, a pivot float may be provided within the carafe so that the user may read the carafe fill level easily.

  • Patent number: 8621986
    Abstract: There is provided a toaster grill having a lower housing that supports a lower cooking surface and an upper housing that supports an upper cooking surface. The upper housing pivots with respect to a “U” shaped frame that is hinged with respect to the lower cooking surface. A locking hinge allows the pivoting motion of the frame to be automatically arrested in an intermediate orientation between the fully closed and fully open grill orientations. The locking hinge automatically resets when the upper housing is rotated from the fully open grill orientation to the fully closed orientation.
