  • Patent number: 11828985
    Abstract: Optical fiber connections and their applications in downhole assemblies are described herein. The downhole assembly includes a well completion element with an end that couples with a corresponding well completion element. An optical fiber extends along at least a portion of the well completion element and transmits an optical signal using a first mode. The well completion element includes an optical fiber connector that is coupled to the optical fiber. The connector also includes a mode converter that receives the optical signal from the optical fiber and converts the optical signal from the first mode to a second larger mode. This second larger mode may be more robustly communicated to a corresponding optical fiber connector affixed to the corresponding well completion element.

  • Publication number: 20230197231
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure disclose generating contraindication alert communications. A knowledge graph data structure, including a graph-based representation associated with a user identifier and having nodes and edges, is accessed. Edge weights are adjusted based on medical data associated with the user identifier. One or more sequential traversals of the knowledge graph data structure are performed until an equilibrium condition is met. Based on determining that a subset of nodes is associated with visit tallies totaling more than a threshold proportion of all node visits associated with the one or more sequential traversals, a contraindication alert communication, which includes representation of a biological effect for the user identifier, can be generated and transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11209321
    Abstract: A technique utilizes spatially resolved temperature measurements to infer the temperature of a subsea infrastructure. According to an embodiment, temperature data, e.g. a temperature map, is determined for the subsea infrastructure and comprises performing remote temperature measurements of water surrounding the subsea infrastructure. Additionally, a metrological scan of the subsea structure may be obtained. Furthermore, a simulation or simulations may be run for an assumed temperature profile along a surface of the subsea infrastructure. The data obtained from the remote temperature measurements, the metrological scan, and the simulation is processed to determine a temperature profile of the subsea infrastructure. This temperature profile can then be used to facilitate a variety of subsea infrastructure management decisions.
