Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for marine seismographic data acquisition, in particular for use in survey design. The invention provides a method for marine seismographic acquisition whereby subsea data and information can be collected using sea floor receivers and suspended receivers simultaneously. This is achieved by aligning the geometries of the two acquisition techniques and utilizing a system of wide-towed seismic sources that produce seismic energy on all the source point locations required to fulfil both acquisition methods.

Abstract: Development of machine learning models and applications tends to be iterative and complex, made even harder because most of the necessary tools are not built for the entire machine learning lifecycle. Introduced here is a data platform that is able to accelerate time-to-value by enabling users to utilize applied machine learning prototypes (“AMPs”) made by others. These AMPs may be extendable, by the data platform, to new datasets, allowing machine learning to be developed and deployed more rapidly.

Abstract: Flow meters are disclosed that provide improved measurements of fluid flowing through fan coils. A flow meter includes a body that defines an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet and the outlet. The flow meter also includes transducers coupled to the body and exposed to the flow path defined by the body. The transducers are configured to transmit and receive a signal travelling through the flow path to measure a flow rate of fluid of the fan coil. The flow meter also includes one or more reflectors coupled to the body and exposed to the flow path defined by the body. Each of the one or more reflectors has a flat reflective surface that is exposed to the flow path and is configured to reflect the signal to relay the signal between the transducers.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a system comprising a tire-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU can be configured to measure linear acceleration data and angular velocity data associated with a tire, and the system can be configured to determine various indicators of tire health based on the linear acceleration data and angular velocity data. The system can be configured to determine a distance between the IMU and an outer rolling surface of the tire. The system can be configured to monitor changes in this distance over time, which can be indicative of tread wear over time. Accordingly, the system can be configured to monitor change in the tread depth over time such that the system is configured to monitor tread depth of the tire.
