Publication number: 20240087828Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are disclosed. Parallel configurations of back-to-back MEMS switches are disclosed in some embodiments. An isolation connection of constant electrical potential may be made to a midpoint of the back-to-back switches. In some embodiments, a separate MEMS switch is provided as a shunt switch for the main MEMS switch. MEMS switch device configurations having multiple switchable signal paths each coupling a common input electrode to a respective output electrode are also disclosed. The MEMS switch device includes shunt switches each coupling a respective output electrode to a reference potential. The presence of a shunt switch coupled to an output electrode enhances the isolation of the signal path corresponding to that output electrode when the path is open.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Padraig Fitzgerald, Philip James Brennan, Jiawen Bai, Michael James Twohig, Bernard Patrick Stenson, Raymond C.

Publication number: 20240087829Abstract: Impedance paths for integrated circuits having microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches that allow for electrical charge to bleed from circuit nodes to fixed electric potentials (e.g., ground) are described. Such paths are referred to herein as charge bleed circuits. The circuit nodes may be circuit locations where electrical charge may accumulate because there is no other path for the electrical charge to dissipate. In some embodiments, a charge bleed circuit includes a switchable device (e.g., a MEMS switch, a solid-state device switch, or a circuit including various solid-state device switches that, collectively, implement a device that can be switched on and off) that connects and disconnects the impedance path from a circuit node. This may allow the device to perform different types of measurements at desired performance levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Padraig Fitzgerald, David Aheme, Patrick M.

Patent number: 11036682Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with flexible aggregation of energy information are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request via a graphical user interface that comprises a plurality of selectable inputs that define the request. A plurality of energy dimensions are selected from a set of available energy dimensions, a plurality of combinations of the plurality of energy dimensions are determined, an energy bucket is generated for each combination of the plurality of energy dimensions, and the script is generated based upon the energy buckets. A target database is accessed on a remote target server, and the script is executed on the target database to initiate extraction of data that matches each energy bucket into a dynamic table in the target database, and run an energy option on the data extracted into the dynamic table.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jason James Duncan-Wilson, Timothy James McAuliffe, Oleg Kobchenko

Patent number: 9739902Abstract: A method for mapping remaining hydrocarbon resources in a subsurface reservoir, includes obtaining a map of seismic amplitude difference over a time period based on a survey of the subsurface reservoir, generating an expected trend dataset for the reservoir based on one or more non-water saturation effects detected over the time period by one or more wellbore surveillance techniques at one or more locations in the reservoir, correcting the map of seismic amplitude difference, at least in part, on the expected trend dataset to generate a corrected seismic amplitude map, and using the corrected seismic amplitude difference map to generate a map representative of remaining hydrocarbon resources in the reservoir. Embodiments include a system for performing the method and a medium containing computer executable software instructions for performing the method.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: CHEVRON U.S.A.
