Patent number: 10087707Abstract: A component of a slip assembly is formed by rolling sheet molding compound into a rolled charge. The rolled charge is positioned in a compression molding press and compressed to produce a molded element. The molded element is removed from the compression molding press and can be machined for use as the component of the slip assembly. The component can be a slip segment or can be a cylindrical body for the slip segment. The compound layers in the molded component can be oriented in a number of different orientations in the component and can increase the overall strength of the component.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventors: James A.

Patent number: 9916350Abstract: A computer system processes a plurality of unrelated database tables to create a join graph where each node in the join graph represents a table. The nodes in the join graph are connected by weighted, directed edges, where each directed edge represents a join from a first column in a first table to a second column in a second table and where the weight of the directed edge represents a predicted level of success in performing the join. The edge weights can be based on a likelihood of finding a value from the first column in the second column. A user selects a subset of the tables, and the system creates a join tree with recommended joins between the tables selected by the user. The recommended joins are used to create a structured query language statement which is executed to return a result to the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Inventors: Jonathan Young, John O'Neil, William K.

Patent number: 9754405Abstract: System, computer-readable medium and method are provided for organizing and rendering 3D voxel models in a tree data structure. The system includes a display, a memory loaded with 3D voxel data arranged in a N3-tree data structure, and a processor that renders the 3D voxel data on the display. The N3-tree data structure includes a top node, one or more levels of middle nodes, and leaf nodes. Each of the top node and middle nodes includes 64 occupancy bits and 32 index bits. The 64 occupancy bits indicate an occupied (“1”) or empty (“0”) state of each of 64 subunits (subcubes or voxels) included in the node. The 32 index bits represent a pointer to a memory location where its occupied subunits are stored. Each of the leaf nodes represents an occupied voxel, and includes an index number that can be used to point to a memory location of at least one type of attribute value (color, normal, intensity, etc.) of the occupied voxel.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: NGRAIN (CANADA) CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Young, Craig Furness, Meru Brunn

Patent number: 9725981Abstract: A slip assembly for a downhole tool, such as a composite plug, has a slip body and at least one insert. The slip body has an incline at one end that interfaces with an inclined surface of a cone. As this occurs, the slip body is pushed away from the tool's mandrel against a surrounding casing wall. The insert is disposed in the slip body with the axis of the insert angled away from the cone. In particular, the insert's axis is preferably angled normal to the slip body's incline and the inclined surface of the cone.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventors: Jonathan Young, Stephen Wiese, James Alan Rochen

Patent number: 9600929Abstract: System, computer-readable medium and method are provided for differencing (diffing) first and second sets of 3D voxel data to identify differences that may exist between the two sets. The system includes a 64-bit processor, a memory, and a display. The memory is loaded with the two sets of 3D voxel data arranged in a 64-tree data structure, wherein an occupied or empty state of each voxel is indicated by 1 bit. The processor executes a 3D voxel diffing algorithm including steps of: (i) aligning the first and second sets of 3D voxel data; (ii) making a one-to-one comparison between each voxel in the first set and a corresponding voxel in the second set to create a diff model that records differences found between the first and second sets; and (iii) displaying the content of the diff model on the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: NGRAIN (Canada) CorporationInventors: Jonathan Young, Andrew Woo, Meru Brunn

Publication number: 20160055212Abstract: A computer system processes arbitrary data sets to identify fields of data that can be the basis of a join operation. Each data set has a plurality of entries, with each entry having a plurality of fields. For each pair of data sets, the computer system compares the values of fields in a first data set in the pair of data sets to the values of fields in a second data set in the pair of data sets, to identify fields having substantially similar sets of values. Given pairs of fields that have similar sets of values, the computer system measures entropy with respect to an intersection of the sets of values of the pair of fields. The computer system can recommend fields for a join operation between any pair of data sets in the plurality of data sets based on such statistical measures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2014Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Jonathan Young, John O'Neil, William K.
