Publication number: 20250110505Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and optimizing air travel routes and corridors, such as routes and/or corridors for unmanned aircraft, are described. For example, the systems and methods may receive or access subsets of weather data, where each subset (e.g., a two-dimensional (2D) set of data) represents or characterizes a portion of the impact of a weather event (e.g., rain, wind) on a geographical location or navigation area. The systems and methods may process the subsets to generate distinct components (e.g., three-dimensional blocks) that are aligned with segments of the weather events, where the components are linked or mapped to a graphical representation of the target or affected location or region.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Inventors: Clifford Fernandez, Derrick Lewis

Publication number: 20050034854Abstract: Equipment and methods which may be used in conjunction with an underbalanced well completion. In a described embodiment, a valve for use in a subterranean well in conjunction with a tool conveyed through the valve in a container is provided. The valve includes a passage formed longitudinally through the valve, a closure assembly which selectively permits and prevents flow through the passage, and an engagement device which engages the container as the tool is conveyed through the passage. The closure assembly permits flow through the passage when the container is conveyed into the passage, and the closure assembly prevents flow through the passage when the container is removed from the passage. Engagement between the container and the engagement device separates the tool from the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2003Publication date: February 17, 2005Inventors: Fredrick Curtis, Derrick Lewis, Dale Ray, Michael Harvey
