  • Publication number: 20240004845
    Abstract: A method for asset identification string error detection can include receiving an asset identification string corresponding to an asset and aggregating data associated with the asset from multiple sources. The method can include creating one or more probabilistic tables linking the aggregated data to the asset and determining a likelihood that at least a portion of the asset identification string is correct based on the probabilistic tables. The method can indicate that the asset identification string includes an error when the likelihood is less than a selected threshold and otherwise indicate that the asset identification string is correct when the likelihood is greater than or equal to the selected threshold.

  • Patent number: 11834945
    Abstract: A well advisor system and console for monitoring and managing pressure testing operations at a well site. The system may be accessed through one or more workstations, or other computing devices, which may be located at a well site or remotely. The system is in communication with and receives input from various sensors. It collects real-time sensor data sampled during operations at the well site. The system processes the data, and provides nearly instantaneous numerical and visual feedback through a variety of graphical user interfaces (“GUIs”), which are presented in the form of an operation-specific console. The input and data provides information related to pressure testing at a well site.

  • Publication number: 20210388540
    Abstract: Systems for producing M bundles of filaments, wherein M?1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N>1. Each extruder includes a thermoplastic polymer having a color, hue, and/or dyability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces N bundles of filaments that form a yarn. Each spin station comprises N spinnerets through which filaments are spun from molten polymers streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the N spinnerets for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in the yarn from each spin station.
