Publication number: 20240110473Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a wellbore pressure based on a predicted pump intake loss. A pump intake pressure after an intake for a submersible pump deployed downhole in a wellbore is identified. An intake loss prediction model for identifying a virtual intake loss associated with the intake for the submersible pump as a function of one or more intake loss parameters is accessed. The virtual intake loss is identified by applying the intake loss prediction model based on intake loss prediction input of the one or more intake loss parameters.

Publication number: 20240085629Abstract: A method of fabricating a waveguide structure to form a solid-core waveguide from a waveguiding layer may include etching a fluid channel into the waveguiding layer, etching a first air-gap and a second air gap into the waveguiding layer, wherein etching the first and the second air-gaps creates a solid-core waveguide in the waveguiding layer between the first air-gap and the second air-gap. A method for fabricating a waveguide structure to form a solid-core waveguide may include forming a first trench, a second trench, and a third trench in a substrate layer, and depositing a waveguiding layer on the machined substrate layer, wherein depositing the waveguiding layer creates a hollow core of a fluid channel in a location corresponding to the first trench, and a solid-core waveguide portion in the waveguiding layer in a location corresponding to an area between the second trench and the third trench.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Fluxus, Inc.Inventors: Frank ZAUGG, Joshua Wayne PARKS

Publication number: 20160077357Abstract: A height adjustment system for eyeglasses is used to properly align a pair of glasses on uneven ears. The system includes a first temple arm which is used to support an eyeglasses frame on a user's head. A height adjuster is connected to a first bottom surface of the first temple arm and is used to compensate for the height difference between the user's ears. The height adjuster is positioned next to a free end of the first temple arm such that the height adjuster aligns with the user's ear. A first ear rest is connected to the height adjuster and is used to prevent the first temple arm from falling off of the user's head. Further, the system includes a second temple arm and an eyeglasses frame. The first temple arm and the second temple arm are connected to opposite ends of the eyeglasses frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2015Publication date: March 17, 2016Inventors: Alice Marie Miller, Frank Wayne Nason
