  • Publication number: 20240133278
    Abstract: An electric machine is configured to be positioned within a wellbore. The electric machine enclosed within a housing isolates the electric machine from fluids within the wellbore. A first lubrication circuit includes a lubrication reservoir within the housing. The lubrication reservoir is fluidically connected to the electric machine. The first lubrication circuit is configured to provide lubrication to a bearing within the electric machine. A fluid rotor is configured to move or be moved by a fluid within the wellbore. A magnetic coupling couples the fluid rotor and a rotor of the electric machine to rotate in unison. A second lubrication circuit is configured to provide lubrication to a bearing supporting the fluid rotor.

  • Publication number: 20230396510
    Abstract: Systems are methods are provided for implementing an intelligent optical transceiver. The intelligent optical transceiver implements dynamic health monitoring and “time to fail” prediction functions to predict a failure of a component before it malfunctions during use. By employing the intelligent optical transceiver, a network can prevent failures in its optical connectivity that can degrade the network performance, such as experiencing outages and data unavailability. For example, the intelligent optical transceiver includes a module health monitor, which monitors, in real-time, health parameters of optical communication components in the intelligent optical transceiver. Also, the intelligent optical transceiver includes a time to fail predictor which predicts a time to fail for the optical communication components of the optical transceiver based on a result of a defined regression function.

  • Publication number: 20190142613
    Abstract: A method of controlling a device relative to one or more objects in an environment of a user employing the device may include receiving a volitional input from the user indicative of a task to be performed relative to an object with the device, receiving object targeting information associated with interaction between the device and the object where the object targeting information is presented in an augmented reality context, integrating the volitional input with the object targeting information to determine a control command to direct the device to interact with the object, and providing the control command to the device.

  • Patent number: 8560368
    Abstract: An automated constraint-based scheduler that uses condition-based information is disclosed. A scheduler module generates a maintenance schedule for one or more components. The scheduler module receives time-based maintenance information associated with a component and condition-based maintenance information that identifies a determined condition of the component. A plurality of constraints associated with performing maintenance on the component is determined. The scheduler module uses a constraint-based scheduler to generate a maintenance schedule for the component based on the time-based maintenance information, the condition-based maintenance information, and the plurality of constraints.

  • Publication number: 20080066005
    Abstract: A user friendly graphical interface responds to a user designated Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) of an enterprise resource planning system by presenting classes of information from the designated BAPI. The interface enables the user to review or edit parameters or data associated with the designated BAPI in a graphical format. The edited information can be returned to the BAPI which can then be executed. The user can then review results form the executed BAPI.
