Publication number: 20240110471Abstract: A method for evaluating induced fractures in a wellbore includes obtaining a first set of data in a wellbore using a downhole logging tool. A first proppant is pumped into the wellbore, after the first set of data is captured. The first proppant includes a first tracer that is not radioactive. A second proppant is also pumped into the wellbore, after the first proppant is pumped into the wellbore. The second proppant includes a second tracer that is not radioactive, and the second tracer is different than the first tracer. A second set of data is obtained in the wellbore using the downhole tool after the first and second proppants are pumped into the wellbore. The first and second sets of data are compared.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: CARBO CERAMICS INC.Inventors: Jeremy ZHANG, Harry D. SMITH, Jr.

Publication number: 20240112824Abstract: A system configured to monitor the structural health of reactor vessel internals of a nuclear reactor is disclosed herein. The system includes a memory configured to store historical information associated with past performance of the nuclear reactor, and an anomaly detection subsystem including a control circuit configured to receive a signal from a sensor. The anomaly detection subsystem is configured to determine, via the control circuit, a characteristic of a vibrational response of the reactor vessel internals based, at least in part, on the signal; access, via the control circuit, the historical information stored in the memory; compare, via the control circuit, the determined characteristic to the historical information stored in the memory; and determine, via the control circuit, a condition of the reactor vessel internals based, at least in part, on the comparison of the determined characteristic and the historical information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Westinghouse Electric Company LLCInventors: Gregory A. BANYAY, Richard A. BASEL, David C. DIBASILIO, Jeremy R. KOETHER, Gregory A. MEYER, Stephen D. SMITH

Patent number: 11724564Abstract: A system and method for controlling and diagnosing an automotive climate control or environmental system with an electronic or mobile device is disclosed. The system provides for wireless control between the system controllers and an electronic device, such as an electronic device or computer, with instructions executed on a processor to display on the electronic device or the computer-human interface display device with a user interface region or a graphical user interface. Using wireless technology features of an electronic device, the automotive climate control system is wirelessly controlled from the electronic device containing software connected with the climate control system software and firmware mounted within the vehicle that rotates servo motors, and operates fan speed and compressor activity. The user interface regions may be used to create preset, predetermined desired positions of system mode, temperature, fan speed, and the display color and appearance of the user interface region.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: CLASSSIC AUTO AIR MANUFACTURING LPInventors: Michael W Rejkowski, Robert K Bingham, Jeremy D Smith

Patent number: 10839279Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to transponder fabrication. In an embodiment, a plurality of antenna elements is applied to a first substrate at a first pitch. A plurality of fully functioning first transponders is positioned on to the first substrate in a manner to each be in electrical communication with an antenna element included in the plurality of antenna elements and thereby forms a plurality of fully functioning second transponders. The plurality of fully functioning first transponders are positioned on a second substrate at a second pitch. The plurality of fully functioning first transponders have a first read range. Second transponders have an increased read range relative to second transponders. The second pitch is greater than the first pitch.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2016Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Inventors: Sriram Manivannan, Dan F Scheffer, Kenneth E Fritsch, Jeremy D Smith

Patent number: 10601104Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a symmetrical RFID antenna and method of formation. In one embodiment, the radio frequency identification antenna comprises a loop element having sides. A first and second conductive elements are in electrical communication with and extend opposite from a middle portion of a side. A third and fourth conductive elements are in electrical communication with and oppositely extend from a second side. A fifth conductive element extends from a vertex of the second conductive element to a vertex of the forth conductive element. The second and/or forth conductive elements comprise a quadrilateral portion. The second and/or forth conductive elements comprise a width that is at least about the length of a side included in the plurality of sides.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Vorbeck Materials Corp.Inventors: Sriram Manivannan, Mathew A Hudspeth, Jeremy D Smith, Larry Hurzon

Patent number: 7430102Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for controlling a clutch associated with a solenoid using a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal, which keeps the current through the coil constant over a wide temperature range and fluctuations in line voltage. The system may include a voltage source, a switch (such as a FET), a current sensor, and a processor. The system controls the clutch by sampling the voltage source, sampling the current measured by the current sensor, and computing a duty cycle, which is then used to generate a PWM control signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2006Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Robert M.
