  • Publication number: 20250084623
    Abstract: A wrapper is provided for a drinking cooler. The drinking cooler includes a cooler frame, a water dispense point, a drain for receiving water, and at least one component supported within an interior portion of the cooler frame. The wrapper includes a cover, a first securing feature, and a second securing feature. The cover is movable between an open position and a closed position. The cover is supported for pivoting movement relative to the cooler frame. The cover permits access to the interior portion of the cooler frame in the open position, and the cover inhibits access to the interior portion of the cooler frame in the closed position. The second securing feature is releasably engageable with the first securing feature to secure the cover in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20240411277
    Abstract: A method executable by one or more processors includes obtaining a measured value of a first variable at a current time step, estimating, with a first model, an estimated value of a second variable at the current time step based on the measured value of the first variable, generating, by a reinforcement learning model, a control decision for a subsequent time step based on the measured value of the first variable and the estimated value of the second variable, predicting, with a second model, a predicted value of the first variable for the subsequent time step based on the measured value of the first variable at the current time step, adjusting the control decision for the subsequent time step based on a constraint and the future value of the first variable, and controlling an actuator based on the control decision.

  • Publication number: 20240271625
    Abstract: Systems and methods provided herein relate to a well site or other plant. Systems and methods are employed to determine fouling and/or reduce maintenance and down time associated with equipment that is subject to fouling conditions due to their operating environments in some embodiments. Fouling can include but is not limited to scale formation due to mechanical, thermal, chemical or combinations of such phenomenon. These phenomenon are initiated and progressively exacerbated as the equipment interacts with gaseous, solids and/or liquids from the operating environment. The equipment includes stationary and rotary equipment including but not limited to pump systems, valves, piping, heat exchangers, and plumbing utilized to move fluid in a well in a subterranean environment.

  • Patent number: 11401706
    Abstract: An example sink having a stepped sink basin is provided. The sink includes a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. The sink also includes a stepped sink basin that includes a raised portion and a lower basin portion. The raised portion of the basin provides a front ledge extending from the front wall toward the rear wall, and extending between the first and second side walls below a top plane of the sink. The lower portion of the basin extends from a bottom of the rear wall toward the front wall, the lower basin defining a drain. The sink still further includes a surface connecting the front ledge to the lower basin.

  • Publication number: 20220180019
    Abstract: Systems and methods generate and use a digital twin in a hydrocarbon system. The systems and methods can perform the following operations: (1) performing a plurality of simulations in a hyperdimensional space to generate outputs; (2) using the outputs of the plurality of simulations to generate one or more reduced order models (ROMs) using a regression technique or a machine learning technique; (3) generating a digital twin of the hydrocarbon system by instantiating the one or more ROMs at an operational point of the hydrocarbon system, and configuring the digital twin to use real-time data obtained from the hydrocarbon system; and (4) estimating values of one or more variables of the hydrocarbon system in real-time using the digital twin.

  • Publication number: 20150129210
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cooling process equipment are provided. The system includes a process fluid source, and a heat exchanger fluidly coupled with the process equipment and the process fluid source. The heat exchanger is configured to receive a process fluid from the process fluid source and transfer heat from the process equipment to the process fluid. The system also includes a control system fluidly coupled with the heat exchanger. The control system is configured to vary a temperature of the process fluid heated in the heat exchanger. Further, at least a portion of the process fluid heated in the heat exchanger is delivered into a wellbore at a temperature below a boiling point of the process fluid.
