  • Patent number: 11313212
    Abstract: Friction reducers can be used in fluids for oil and gas operations. Friction reducers can be water-hydratable and can decrease the friction within wellbore components after fully hydrating. The friction reducer can be pre-hydrated at the well site. The friction reducer and water can be combined into a static mixer of a pre-hydration apparatus that forms a mixed fluid. The friction reducer can be retained in the pre-hydration apparatus for a sufficient period of time to allow the friction reducer to hydrate. The mixed fluid containing the pre-hydrated friction reducer can then be added to a base fluid to form a treatment fluid. The treatment fluid can be a fracturing fluid. The pre-hydrated friction reducer can provide an immediate reduction in friction to the treatment fluid as the treatment fluid is being pumped into the wellbore.

  • Patent number: 11282985
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a flip-chip LED chip used in a backlight and a producing method thereof. The flip-chip LED chip used in the backlight comprises a substrate, an epitaxial layer, a transparent conductive layer, an insulating layer, a first reflecting layer, a second reflecting layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. In the present invention, the first reflecting layer and the second reflecting layer are formed on both sides of the substrate. By adjusting the reflectance of the first reflecting layer and the second reflecting layer, the light emitted by the epitaxial layer is reflected by the first reflecting layer and the second reflecting layer, resulting in 20-40% of the light being emitted from the back of the chip, and 60-80% of the light being emitted from the side of the chip. This increases the light uniformity of the LED backlight.

  • Patent number: 11238490
    Abstract: Information describing deliveries of content items and user actions associated with the content items is stored. Each delivery is performed by an online publisher to a user. A user action associated with a content item performed by a target user is detected. Information describing a set of online publishers that delivered the content item to the target user is retrieved. For each online publisher of the set, a likelihood that the user action would have occurred without the online publisher's delivery of the content item to the target user is determined. An estimated increase in the likelihood that the user action occurred due to the online publisher's delivery of the content item to the target user is determined. A performance metric is determined for the online publisher, wherein ratios of performance metrics for the set of online publishers are related based on corresponding ratios of the estimated increases in likelihoods.

  • Publication number: 20210294356
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a dynamic recovery method and system for UAVs and storage medium. On the basis of obtaining the environmental information of UAVs, combined with different factors such as the following task quantity of each UAV, the distance from the current position of each UAV to the recovery point, current performance of each UAV, total cost function is constructed, and optimization is carried out through improved particle swarm optimization algorithm. Then on the premise of the lowest recovery cost, the priority of each UAV is obtained. For the ordered UAV, the route to the recovery point is determined. At the same time, it is necessary to consider conflict resolution of UAVs when encountering obstacles in the flight process, as well as the possible failure in line recovery. At this time, it is necessary to reorder some hovering UAVs to ensure flight safety of UAVs and robustness of the algorithm.
