  • Model generation for real-time rate of penetration prediction
    Patent number: 10657441
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving raw data sets containing drilling parameter and operating condition values generated during subterranean drilling operations. The raw data sets may be separated into training data sets based, at least in part, on the types of the subterranean drilling operations. At least one predictive model may be generated based, at least in part, on at least one training data set. The at least one predictive model may determine a rate of penetration (ROP) for a drilling operation of the same type to which the at least one training data set corresponds.

  • Surgical procedure management systems and methods
    Patent number: 10470687
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking a surgical tool. Exemplary embodiments can comprise a surgical port, a tracking element configured for coupling to a surgical tool, and a camera mounted to a proximal end of the surgical port and configured to capture image data associated with the tracking element.

  • Real-time performance analyzer for drilling operations
    Patent number: 10060246
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving a data set containing combinations of drilling parameter values and operating condition values for a drilling system corresponding to each combination of drilling parameter values. At least one of a frequency and a duration of use may be determined for each of the combinations of drilling parameter values in the data set. For at least some of the combinations of drilling parameter values, a contour map identifying the combinations of drilling parameter values, the operating condition values corresponding to the combinations of drilling parameter values, and at least one of the frequency and the duration of use may be displayed for at least some of the combinations of drilling parameter values.
