  • Operating wellbore equipment using data from mediator computing devices
    Patent number: 11939856
    Abstract: A system includes a first wellbore operation controller for controlling a wellbore operation and generating a first broadcast indicating a first data topic desired for controlling the wellbore operation. The system also includes a second wellbore operation controller for generating a data stream associated with a wellbore and for generating a second broadcast indicating a second data topic that promotes the data stream. The system includes a mediator computing device that receives the first broadcast and the second broadcast and determines that the first wellbore operation controller is subscribed to the data stream by comparing the first data topic to the second data topic. In response to determining that the first wellbore operation controller is subscribed to the data stream, the mediator computing device creates a data link between the first wellbore operation controller and the second wellbore operation controller.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCREENING A USER'S TEMPERATURE
    Publication number: 20240016392
    Abstract: A method for screening a user temperature, the method comprising: detecting a user's face in a first image using a first camera operating within a first portion of the electromagnetic spectrum; aligning the detected user's face to a second image of the user's face detected using a second camera operating within a second portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is different from the visible spectrum; determining the user's temperature based on the second image aligned to the first image; and determining if the user's temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold.
