Publication number: 20240068354Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for identifying the quality of cement bonding of an exterior surface of a wellbore casing to an Earth formation. Methods of the present disclosure may allow for bond indexes to be identified in real-time as a cementing operation is performed even when tools that perform the cementing operation generate acoustic noise that interfere with measurements used to evaluate cement bonding quality. These methods may include transmitting acoustic signals, receiving acoustic signals, filtering the received acoustic signals, identifying magnitude and attenuation values to associate with the received acoustic signals, and comparing trends in the magnitudes with the identified attenuation values. These methods may also include correcting attenuation values associated with measured data based on a set of correction rules such that bond indexes can be identified. Such correction rules may be associated with data generated by a computer model.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Jiajun ZHAO, Ruijia Wang, Jonathan Brenda Sue

Patent number: 11829943Abstract: Described is a multiple-camera system and process for re-identifying a user located in a materials handling facility based on user patterns and/or descriptors representative of the user. In one implementation, a user pattern and/or a plurality of descriptors representative of a user are maintained as a position of a user is tracked through a materials handling facility. If the tracking of the user is lost, the last known position is stored with the user pattern and/or descriptors. If a new object is detected and confirmed to be a user, a user pattern and/or descriptors of the new object are compared with the stored user pattern and/or descriptors to determine if the new object is the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pranab Mohanty, Shrivatsan Vasudhevan, Frank Florian Liberato, Jiajun Zhao, Maxwell Aaron Corman, Ammar Chinoy, Joachim Sebastian Stahl

Patent number: 11567228Abstract: To generate dispersion curves for acoustic waves in a radially layered system, a matrix M containing solutions to the wave equation subject to the boundary conditions of the system is constructed. The reciprocal condition number (RCN) of the matrix M is determined as a function of acoustic wave frequency and slowness. The local minima of the RCN in the frequency-slowness plane produces the dispersion curves corresponding to allowable acoustic modes in the system. A sensitivity analysis which identifies the dispersion curves dependent on a selected parameter. The dispersion curves independent of the perturbed parameters are eliminated by perturbing the modeling parameters and generating the RCN of the perturbed matrix M and then subtracting the RCN values of the unperturbed matrix M, leaving the dispersion curves that exhibit dependence on the selected parameter.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Jiajun Zhao, Ruijia Wang, Qingtao Sun, Richard Timothy Coates

Patent number: 11395097Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for determining when to transition a service-provider application between an in-store mode of operation and an online mode of operation using time as a proxy for location of a mobile device executing an application. When a user arrives at a physical location of the service provider, the user may provide an indication of this arrival via the application. In response, the application may transition from the online mode of operation to the in-store mode of operation. Further, the application may set a timer for a predefined amount of time and, after this amount of time elapses, may transition from the in-store operation mode back to the online operation mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Margaret Draughon Poole, Karen Arango, Smita Joshi, Siddharth Lathia, Bilyana Slavova, Jiajun Zhao
