Abstract: A lost-circulation composition for oil drilling operations can be cross-linked to form a gel before or during being injected into the formation, and the gel can be cured at the lost-circulation formation to form a lost-circulation material. The mass retention rate of the gel when scouring at 50-180° C. for 30 min at a water flow rate of 10 m/min is 90% or more. The lap anti-shear strength of the lost-circulation material is 0.1-0.14 MPa. The lost-circulation composition of the present invention is suitable for a water-bearing formation having a temperature of not higher than 180° C., especially a flowing water-bearing formation. The lost-circulation composition can be cross-linked to form a gel, and after being injected into the water-containing formation, the gel can realize strong retention around a wellbore, and can be cured under formation conditions to form a lost-circulation material, which finally blocks the lost-circulation formation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for making telecommunication network predictions on a granular geographic area-scale. The method can include receiving network key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with a plurality of user equipment (UEs) and then parsing the network KPIs into a plurality of geographic area-based categories corresponding to network KPIs obtained by cell towers or UEs located within a given geographic area, like a zip code. The method can further include combining the geographic area-based categories into clusters determined based on one or more similarities in the network KPIs of each, and predicting a most-influential one of the network KPIs within at least one of the clusters via a machine learning (ML) model. In response, the method can then cause an indicator to be generated at a user interface, the indicator indicating the most-influential one of the network KPIs within the at least one of the clusters.

The polymer can still maintain excellent viscosity-increasing performance in a high-temperature and high-calcium environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of drilling, in particular to a composite material, a composition, a drilling fluid, and a method for plugging formation well wall fractures. The composite material includes a polymer matrix and metal ions embedded in the polymer matrix, an embedding rate of the metal ions is not less than 90 wt %, and turbidity of an aqueous solution of the composite material is not less than 1000 NTU under a condition of pH?8. The composite material can actively and quickly identify a change in a formation environment based on a difference in pH values between the drilling fluid and the formation environment, and achieve a precise response and precise matching with a formation well wall fracture environment, and a small amount of composite material can effectively increase a plugging rate of the formation well wall fracture.

Abstract: A proxy requestor, who is expected to participate in events hosted on a computing network, may hope to find a proxy to handle the events for the proxy requestor. The proxy requestor, using a requestor device, may submit a request for such proxy to a proxy service provider during or prior to the event. In some examples, the proxy service provider may transmit one or more candidate proxies to the requestor device. Once the proxy requestor device selects a proxy from among the one or more candidate proxies, the requestor device may either facilitate or schedule a connection between the selected proxy and other participants of the events.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described to dynamically alter a game while a gamer is playing the game so as to affect the gaming experience experienced by the gamer. According to some examples, one or more physiological signals may be collected from a gamer as the gamer is playing a game. Based on the collected physiological signals, a Quality of Experience (QoE) vector that indicates the gaming experience of the gamer may be generated. The QoE vector may then be compared with a corresponding value of a predetermined QoE function, and the game may be altered based on the comparison.

Abstract: In some examples, in a supply-and-demand system, e.g., a cloud computing environment or an electrical grid, a coordinator may collect resource consumption data from one or more consuming entities. Based on the collected resource consumption data, the coordinator may be configured to predict resource consumption requirement of each consuming entity in a subsequent time period. Further, in accordance with the prediction, the coordinator may allocate the resources to the consuming entities or recycle the resources currently consumed by the consuming entities.

The processor may also partition the source ontology into first decomposed data and second decomposed data based on the relationship between the first and second explicit data. The first decomposed data may include the first explicit data, and the second decomposed data may include the second explicit data. The processor may also store the first decomposed data in a first concealment module. The processor may also store the second decomposed data in a second concealment module that may be different from the first concealment module.
