  • Patent number: 11965411
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for isolation detection. In one implementation, an axial acoustic signal is obtained. The axial acoustic signal is captured using an axial sensor deployed in a structure in a subterranean surface. The axial acoustic signal is separated into a first wave region and a second wave region by applying velocity filtering. An axial symmetry of a portion of the structure is determined based on at least one of the first wave region or the second wave region.

  • Patent number: 11959377
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for isolation detection. In one implementation, recorded data is obtained. The recorded data includes radial acoustic waves transmitted and received using a radial sensor of an acoustic logging tool deployed in a wellbore. Clockwise waves are separated from counterclockwise waves by converting the recorded data from a time domain to a frequency domain. The clockwise waves are shifted into shifted clockwise waves, and the counterclockwise waves are shifted into a shifted counterclockwise waves. A forward wave is generated by combining the shifted clockwise waves, and a reflected wave is generated by combining the shifted counterclockwise waves. One or more isolation regions are identified in the wellbore using the forward wave and the reflected wave.

  • Publication number: 20230417942
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to analyzing subterranean cylindrical structures using acoustic sensing. On example includes: sending first acoustic waves in the wellbore via a radial acoustic sensor; receiving first reflection waves associated with the first acoustic waves via the radial acoustic sensor; sending second acoustic waves in the wellbore via the radial acoustic sensor; receiving second reflection waves associated with the second acoustic waves via the radial acoustic sensor; processing recorded data associated with the first acoustic waves, the first reflection waves, the second acoustic waves, and the second reflection waves, wherein the first acoustic waves are associated with a first radial direction, and wherein the second acoustic waves are associated with a second radial direction, the second radial direction being opposite the first radial direction; and generating a plot for identification of one or more isolation regions in the wellbore based on the processing.

  • Publication number: 20210123338
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for isolation detection. In one implementation, an acoustic signal is obtained. The acoustic signal is captured at a set of acoustic receivers deployed in a structure in a subterranean surface. A differential acoustic signal is produced from the acoustic signal captured at the set of acoustic receivers. A symmetry within a portion of the structure is determined based on a value of the differential acoustic signal. At least one isolation region is detected within the structure based on the symmetry.

  • Publication number: 20180342095
    Abstract: The system and method for generating a virtual character functions to enable an interface for creating and managing simulated personas that can contextually respond to stimuli. The responses of the virtual character can be set to reflect a particular type of persona. Furthermore, the virtual characters can be driven using the system and method so as to express realistic and responsive representations of a character's thoughts, emotions, and moods. The system and method preferably enable one or more users to provide input that configures and defines a set of operating parameters for a virtual character. The system and method can apply that configuration to drive character actions and behavior within one or more media format.

  • Publication number: 20180220592
    Abstract: A method and system for plant growth lighting. The method comprises accessing a reference growth profile associated with a plant under cultivation. Based on comparing a growth state of the plant with the reference growth profile, a desired intraday growth lighting condition corresponding to the plant growth state is identified. The desired intraday growth lighting condition is correlated with a spectral output frequency signature of the LED growth lighting source. The desired intraday growth condition is simulated by providing lighting including the correlated spectral output frequency signature from the LED lighting source to the plant under cultivation.

  • Publication number: 20170192154
    Abstract: A system for plant growth lighting comprises a generally planar light guide sheet having an illumination surface, a back surface situated opposite the illumination surface, and at least one pair of opposingly disposed peripheral edge portions. The light guide sheet includes a plurality of structures to scatter and mix light received therein. Light is received within the light guide sheet as emitted from a series of Light Emitting Diode light sources (LEDs) selected to provide a photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) value. The series of LEDs may be located on the opposingly disposed peripheral edge portions, such that they direct light towards the other of the opposingly disposed peripheral edge portions. A reflective sheet is overlaid in optical communication with the back surface of the light guide. Light as received from the LEDs within the light guide is scattered and randomly mixed by the plurality of structures therein.
