Abstract: The problem of potentially damaging a pallet layer that is gripped by clamps of a depalletizing tool is solved i) by detecting the real position of the layer using a pad on the tool that is movable with the clamps towards the pallet layer and whose detected stopping position determines the real position of the layer, and ii) while the layer is gripped by the clamp, by inserting under the layer curtains; the pressure on the layer by the clamps being adapted to the ease to go underneath the layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described in which the location of a tap on the body of a handheld device is determined in real time using data streams from an embedded inertial measurement unit (IMU). Taps may be generated by striking the handheld device with an object (e.g., a finger), or by moving the handheld device in a manner that causes it to strike another object. IMU accelerometer, gyroscopic and/or orientation (relative to the magnetic and/or gravitational pull of the earth) measurements are examined for signatures that distinguish a tap at a location on the body of the device compared with signal characteristics produced by taps at other locations. Neural network and/or numerical methods may be used to perform such classifications.

Abstract: A method for performing wellbore correlation across multiple wellbores includes predicting a depth alignment across the wellbores based on a geological feature of the wellbores. Predicting a depth alignment includes selecting a reference wellbore, defining a control point in a reference signal of a reference well log for the reference wellbore, and generating an input tile from the reference signal, the control points, and a number of non-reference well logs corresponding to non-reference wellbores. The well logs include changes in a geological feature over a depth of a wellbore. The input tile is input into a machine-learning model to output a corresponding control point for each non-reference well log. The corresponding control point corresponds to the control point of the reference log. Based on the corresponding control points output from the machine-learning model, the non-reference well logs are aligned with the reference well log to correlate the multiple wellbores.
