  • Publication number: 20240093565
    Abstract: A subsea grease injection system has a grease accumulator containing a supply of grease, a hydraulic accumulator, a flowline connected to an outlet of the grease accumulator so as to allow discharge of grease from the supply to flow therethrough, and a subsea structure connected to the flowline. The hydraulic accumulator is in fluid communication with the grease accumulator such that the displacement of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic accumulator causes a corresponding discharge of grease from the grease accumulator. The subsea structure receives grease from the flowline. The grease accumulator is a piston and cylinder in which the piston is received in the cylinder to define first and second compartments. The supply of grease is in the first compartment. The hydraulic fluid fills an interior of the second compartment. This avoids the use of hydraulic conduits from the surface such that only power and communications are from the surface.

  • Patent number: 11933213
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for regenerating an after-treatment system of a vehicle. A first operational parameter of a first component of the after-treatment system is monitored and a second operational parameter, different to the first operational parameter, of a second component of the after-treatment system is monitored. It is determined if the first operational parameter of the first component is outside a first threshold range and if the second operational parameter is approaching a second threshold and, in response to the first operational parameter being outside the first threshold range and the second operational parameter being within the second threshold range, a regeneration sequence of the after-treatment system configured to regenerate at least the first component of the after-treatment system is initiated.

  • Patent number: 11915121
    Abstract: A generator network of a variational autoencoder can be trained to approximate a simulator and generate a first result. The simulator is associated with input data, based on which the simulator outputs output data. A training data set for the generator network can include the simulator's input data and output data. Based on the simulator's output data and the first result of the generator network, an inference network of the variational autoencoder can be trained to generate a second result. The second result of the trained inference network inverts the first result of the generator and approximates the simulator's input data. The trained inference network can function as an inverted simulator.

  • Publication number: 20240025292
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing a state of charge of a hybrid vehicle battery using an eCAT. Electrical energy is provided to a hybrid system for storage at the battery of the hybrid system. A first state of charge of the battery of the hybrid system is determined. Upon determining that the first state of charge is within a predetermined upper range, a determination is made as to whether to increase energy supplied to one or more hybrid vehicle components, the one or more hybrid vehicle components comprising at least the eCAT. At least a portion of the electrical energy is consumed at the eCAT.
