  • Publication number: 20250101828
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating a well system including a rotatable casing hanger and a rotatable running tool. The rotatable casing hanger includes a hanger body, which is to be secured to a casing string; a hanger sleeve secured circumferentially around the hanger body, in which the hanger sleeve is to be landed on another wellhead component; and a hanger bearing assembly disposed axially between the hanger body and the hanger sleeve. The rotatable running tool includes a tool body that defines a tool bore, in which the tool body is to be selectively secured to the hanger body; a tool sleeve secured circumferentially around the tool body to facilitate maintaining centralization of the tool body and, thus, the rotatable casing hanger; and a tool bearing assembly disposed between the tool body and the tool sleeve.

  • Patent number: 12064063
    Abstract: Some sheet product dispensers disclosed herein are configured to dispense from a sheet product roll that includes a plurality of predetermined portions that are designed for providing a toilet seat cover. A line of perforations separates consecutive portions. A motor operates to drive the drive roller to cause movement of the sheet product along a dispensing pathway to position a leading predetermined portion of the sheet product into a dispensing position such that the trailing edge of the leading predetermined portion is positioned within the housing and the leading edge of the leading predetermined portion is positioned outside the dispensing chute to enable removal of the leading predetermined portion. Staged dispensing is utilized to help maintain hygiene, while still quickly providing the dispense. Perforation tear assist features are provided to aid in proper separation of the line of perforations, such as to help maintain integrity of the dispensed portion.

  • Publication number: 20240249168
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support ontology driven processes to generate digital twins using a partially automated process. To generate the digital twin, an ontology may be obtained and used to generate a multi-layer probabilistic knowledge graph as a digital twin. A first layer may include a domain ontology knowledge graph that is generated based on the ontology. A second layer may include a probabilistic ontology graph model that is automatically generated based on the domain ontology knowledge graph. A third layer may include a decision optimization model that represents decisions that optimize variable(s) included in the second layer. The digital twin based on this multi-layer probabilistic knowledge graph may enable improved querying of semantic information, probability distributions, and decision information from a single model without requiring a user to be trained in probability theory to set up the digital twin.
