Abstract: A downhole packer system includes a swellable material configured to expand to seal against a wellbore wall in response to exposure to downhole fluids. The downhole packer system also includes at least one sensor disposed proximate the swellable material. The at least one sensor is configured to measure one or more electrical properties of the swellable material to determine a degree of expansion of the swellable material.

Abstract: An embodiment is a method performed by a media delivery system. The method includes selecting video assets to be included in a dynamic channel for a user based on a user profile of the user. The method further includes causing a client device to display an electronic programming guide (EPG) graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the EPG GUI displays time schedule information for one or more linear channels alongside information regarding a first video asset from the plurality of video assets included in the dynamic channel, wherein the EPG GUI further displays a first GUI element that is activatable by the user to cause the first video asset to be played for the user and a second GUI element that is activatable by the user to cause the EPG GUI to display information regarding a second video asset included in the dynamic channel.

Abstract: A downhole valve position sensing system includes a magnetic material that is shiftable by an actuation member of a downhole valve to a plurality of positions along a downhole valve from a first position of the plurality of positions along the downhole valve. The downhole valve position sensing system also includes a sensor assembly that is mechanically coupled to the downhole valve and comprising a magnetic sensor that is configured to detect a magnetic signal generated by the magnetic material at a set of positions of the plurality of positions along the downhole valve.

Abstract: A control system for use with an irrigation system that includes a plurality of towers comprises a plurality of node controllers and a main controller. Each node controller is associated with a successive one of the towers and is configured to monitor operation of a plurality of components of the tower and to transmit data that includes a node identification number which corresponds to a positional number of the associated tower. The main controller is configured to receive the data. The control system executes a configuration process in which each node controller is assigned the node identification number in a sequence.

Abstract: A mobile irrigation system including a number of spans, a number of mobile irrigation towers supporting the spans, and a control system. The control system includes a position switch configured to be triggered and transmit a trigger signal and a controller configured to receive the trigger signal from the position switch. Upon receiving the trigger signal, the controller is configured to determine whether a current position of the mobile irrigation system equates to an auto-reverse position. If the current position equates to the auto-reverse position, the controller is configured to transmit a reverse direction signal to a drive motor of one of the mobile irrigation towers to reverse direction so that the drive motor reverses direction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods in a base station and a UE are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method implemented in a network node includes any one or more of: selectively puncturing transmission of LTE CRS symbols that overlap NR DMRS symbols in a downlink transmission time interval; selectively puncturing transmission of NR DMRS symbols that overlap LTE CRS symbols in the downlink transmission time interval; and selectively reducing a number of NR DMRS symbols transmitted to the UE in the downlink transmission time interval. In some embodiments, a method implemented in a UE includes identifying, in a downlink channel, subchannels containing NR DMRS symbols that are corrupted due to collision with LTE CRS symbols. For each identified subchannel: a respective time averaged channel estimate is determined based on NR DMRS symbols that are not corrupted due to collision with the LTE CRS symbols; and a respective MMSE weight is determined using the time averaged channel estimate.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring the oil to water ratio of a wellbore fluid. An example method includes flowing the wellbore fluid into a flow path of a fluid identification device disposed on the outside of a wellbore tubing and within a wellbore annulus. The fluid identification device comprises a shroud, the flow path disposed within the shroud that opens to the wellbore annulus and fluidically links the wellbore annulus to the wellbore tubing thereby allowing fluid flow through the flow path from the wellbore annulus to the wellbore tubing, and an alternating current electrical sensor disposed within the flow path. The method further includes measuring a property of the wellbore fluid with the alternating current electrical sensor when the wellbore fluid has flowed into the flow path and determining the oil to water ratio of the wellbore fluid that flowed through the flow path.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for LTE-NR spectrum sharing. In one embodiment, a method for a wireless device (WD) includes obtaining a configuration of at least one reference signal of a first radio access technology that overlaps in time with a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe of a second radio access technology. In another embodiment, a method for a network node includes configuring at least one reference signal of a first radio access technology to overlap in time with a MBSFN subframe of a second radio access technology.

Abstract: A configurable workstation includes a support frame defining a workspace for performing a scientific procedure, multiple modules that are configured to be selectively installed to the support frame for customizing a functional profile of the configurable workstation, and a server computing device hosting an application that provides a user interface for controlling operations of the configurable workstation.
