  • Publication number: 20230106199
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium, of which the method includes receiving an image of a tool including a consumable object from a remote device via a network at a processor, decoding the image to identify the consumable object, using the processor, and determining a degradation characteristic, a consumption, or both for the consumable object by providing the decoded image to a neural network. The degradation characteristic represents a mode of degradation and the consumption represents an amount of degradation.

  • Patent number: 10767420
    Abstract: A drill bit is used for drilling through earthen formations and forming a wellbore. The drill bit includes a bit body having a bit axis, and at least a first cone and a second cone coupled to the bit body. Each of the first and the second cones has a backface, a nose opposite the backface, and a cone axis of rotation. An array of cutting elements coupled to the first or second cones is in a band that lies between the backface and the nose. The cutting elements in the band are arranged at radial positions with respect to the bit axis and at least two adjacent cutting elements are at a same radial position within the array, and the remaining cutting elements are at different radial positions within the array.
