    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method for searching a database. The application receives an input identifying one or more users. The application matches the input to one or more user accounts, each user account corresponding to a user that was identified. The application presents to a requestor public accounts of each identified user account. The application receives a keyword input that filters one or more files in the public accounts. The application receives an input that saves a search comprising the user accounts and the keyword input. The application queries the database using the search. The application presents to the requestor a list of all files found using the search. The application dynamically updates the list to include new files matching a criteria of the search as new files satisfying the search are uploaded to the database.

  • Publication number: 20210119863
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system including a wellsite controller. The wellsite controller receives workflow inputs such as wellsite details and communications settings, generates a local configuration entry including the workflow inputs, sensor configuration information about wellsite sensors connected to the controller, and a unique identifier for the controller. The unique identifier is based upon the workflow inputs, the sensor configuration information, and location information for the wellsite. The controller generates a registration message from the local configuration entry. A server receives the registration message, and compares the unique identifier to a store of known identifiers. If the unique identifier does not match one of the known identifiers, the server recognizes the controller as being newly added, adds the wellsite to a monitoring system of the server by creating an entry for the wellsite from the registration message, and attempts to map the wellsite sensors to the entry for the wellsite.

  • Patent number: 10490402
    Abstract: A processing method is disclosed that enables an improved directed self-assembly (DSA) processing scheme by allowing the formation of improved guide strips in the DSA template that may enable the formation of sub-30 nm features on a substrate. The improved guide strips may be formed by improving the selectivity of wet chemical processing between different organic layers or films. In one embodiment, treating the organic layers with one or more wavelengths of ultraviolet light may improve selectivity. The first wavelength of UV light may be less than 200 nm and the second wavelength of UV light may be greater than 200 nm.
