  • Patent number: 11959373
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to projecting control parameters of equipment associated with forming a wellbore, stimulating the wellbore, or producing fluid from the wellbore. A system includes the equipment and a computing device. The computing device is operable to project a control parameter value of the equipment using an equipment control process, and to receive confirmation that the projected control parameter value is within an allowable operating range. The computing device is also operable to adjust the equipment control process based on the confirmation, and to control the equipment to operate at the projected control parameter value. Further, the computing device is operable to receive real-time data associated with the forming of the wellbore, the stimulating of the wellbore, or the producing fluid from the wellbore. Furthermore, the computing device is operable to adjust the equipment control process based on the real-time data.

  • Publication number: 20160051417
    Abstract: A detector for wet diaper is suitable for large-scale production. The detector comprises a nonwoven fabric (1) and at least two electrodes (2, 3) which are carbon powder coated on the nonwoven fabric (1). The length of the electrodes (2, 3) is 2-20 mm while the length thereof is more than 3 times than that of the width. The carbon powder is adaptable to the skin of the infants, the old, and the patients. It will not cause allergy or oppression to the skin. Further, the carbon layer possesses the function of filtration and odor adsorption, which is conducive to the hygiene and health of the subjects, such as, the infant, the old and the patients.

  • Patent number: 9088792
    Abstract: An enhanced liquid crystal display design is provided having relatively fast response time particularly useful in high speed or highly intense applications, such as stereoscopic or autostereoscopic image display. The liquid crystal display device is configured to display stereoscopic images, and comprises an LCD panel and control electronics configured to drive the LCD panel to a desired 10 stereoscopic display state. The control electronics are configured to employ transient phase switching and overdrive the LCD panel to a desired state to enable relatively rapid display of stereoscopic images.

  • Patent number: 8819148
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting an electronic mail (e-mail) message from a sender having a non-ASCII username to a recipient. The method comprising the following steps. It is determined whether or not the recipient is configured to receive the e-mail message. If the recipient is configured to receive the e-mail message, the message is transmitted to the recipient. If the recipient is not configured to receive the e-mail message, the e-mail message is submitted for storage in a data store, a uniform resource locator (URL) to identify a location of the stored e-mail message is obtained; and a notification message, including the URL, is transmitted to the recipient. A proxy server and e-mail server for implementing the method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8756286
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting an electronic mail (e-mail) message from a sender having a non-ASCII e-mail address to a recipient. Provided is an e-mail directory associated with a requested primary e-mail address, having a non-ASCII form, and a corresponding alternate e-mail address having an ASCII form. The alternate e-mail is generated from the primary e-mail address using a reversible encoding scheme having a one-to-one relationship. The e-mail message, the alternate e-mail address, and the primary e-mail address are transmitted to the recipient via a plurality of mail delivery elements. The alternate e-mail address is transmitted to a mail delivery element incapable of processing non-ASCII characters. The alternate e-mail address is for use by the mail delivery element to identify the sender and deliver the e-mail message to the recipient for display.

  • Patent number: 8725815
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting an email message from a sender to a recipient, the recipient capable of receiving email messages compliant with American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). However, one or more of the sender or other recipients have a non-ASCII email address. Accordingly, mapped ASCII email addresses are created for each of the non-ASCII email addresses. A username is generated as a mapping of the non-ASCII email address using a predefined mapping algorithm. A domain name is selected from one or more predefined domain names. The username is concatenated with the domain name to create the mapped ASCII email address. Then, the non-ASCII email address is replaced with the mapped ASCII email address and the email message is sent to the selected recipient.

  • Patent number: 8704733
    Abstract: A method and system for use in conjunction with a push-pull liquid crystal modulator system for creating circularly polarized light of alternating handedness is provided. The method and system comprise a pair of surface mode liquid crystal cells and a driver electrically coupled to the cells. The driver is configured to move an electrical charge using a quenching pulse comprising a relatively brief voltage spike at a beginning of a waveform period. Multiple additional improvements are provided, including reducing the thickness of the LC gap (the distance between cell electrode plates), creating a charge connection or wiring connection to the cell electrodes, employing anti-reflection coating technology, thinner ITO and ITO index matched to the LC material, bonding all possible air to material surfaces, using superior glass, employing more efficient polarizers, and reducing projector blanking time.

  • Patent number: 8493433
    Abstract: An active eyewear method and system for viewing stereoscopic images is provided. The eyewear comprises polarization altering elements, such as twisted nematics or super twisted nematics, configured to receive light energy and rotate the polarization of light energy passing therethrough, and linear polarizers having polarization axes oriented in substantially identical orientations orthogonal to the first axis of polarization. The linear polarizers receive light energy from the polarization altering elements. The method comprises transmitting light energy through a sheet polarizer having an first axis of polarization, receiving the light energy with two polarization altering elements, each polarization altering operating out of phase with the other and in synchrony with a video field rate associated with the transmitting, and passing the light energy through two linear polarizers having substantially identical axes of polarization orthogonal to the first axis of polarization.

  • Patent number: 8394999
    Abstract: A process to convert glycerin into propylene glycol and purifying the produced propylene glycol is described. The glycerin-based propylene glycol production requires only one process step compared to petroleum/natural gas-based propylene glycol production requires multiple process steps, and thus represents a cost savings.

  • Publication number: 20120254317
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting an email message from a sender to a selected recipient, the selected recipient capable of receiving only email messages compliant with American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). However, one or more of the sender or other recipients have a non-ASCII email address. Accordingly, mapped ASCII email addresses are created for each of the non-ASCII email addresses as follows. A username is generated as a mapping of the non-ASCII email address using a predefined mapping algorithm. A domain name is selected from one or more predefined domain names, each of the domain names configured to resolve to a predefined gateway server. The username is concatenated with the domain name to create the mapped ASCII email address. Then, the non-ASCII email addresses is replaced with the mapped ASCII email address and the email message is sent to the selected recipient.
