Abstract: Hydrocarbon flow into multi-lateral wells is analyzed by controlled release of tracers from the surface. Hydrocarbons flow into a lateral formed from a wellbore into a subterranean zone. A wellbore production tubing is installed within the wellbore and extends toward the lateral. The wellbore production tubing defines an annulus between an outer surface of the tubing and an inner wall of the wellbore. Hydrocarbons flowing from the lateral into the annulus flow within an internal volume defined by a body attached to the outer surface of the tubing. The hydrocarbons mix with tracers residing within the internal volume. A mixture of the hydrocarbons with the tracers flow out of the internal volume and towards the surface. At the surface, a concentration of the tracers in the mixture flowed to the surface is analyzed. Based on a result of the analyzing, properties of hydrocarbon flow into the lateral are determined.

Abstract: A tractor has a processor and memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: select at least one image captured by a camera of a parking spot being passed by the tractor when a point-of-interest (POI) of the parking spot is most centered within a field of view of the camera, store the image in the memory in association with the parking spot, determine that the parking spot is occupied after a costmap for the parking spot is populated by the LIDAR, retrieve the image corresponding to the parking spot from the memory, determine, from the image, a trailer identifier of a trailer parked in the parking spot; and send a message defining the parking spot and the trailer identifier to an inventory service for use in updating a yard inventory.

Abstract: There is provided a controller, a system, computer software and a method for detecting a ligature on a door mounted within a door frame on mounting means. A load applied by the door to the mounting means is detected by a load sensor. An angle of the door relative to the door frame is detected by an angle sensor. Baseline load data is obtained, the baseline load data being indicative of an expected load applied by the door to the mounting means as a function of the angle of the door. The method comprises determining a threshold load value indicative of a ligature on the door for the measured angle in dependence on the baseline load data and the detected angle of the door; determining whether the detected load exceeds the threshold load value for the detected angle; and outputting an indication of a detected ligature event if the detected load exceeds the threshold load value.
