Publication number: 20240068319Abstract: A subsea wellbore monitoring system of the present disclosure includes hanger, plug, and monitoring assemblies. The hanger assembly installs on landing in the wellhead, engages the lock profile, and has a hanger seal sealing in the wellhead. The plug assembly is supported in the hanger assembly and has a plug seal to seal in the landing. Ports of the plug assembly communicate with a bore envelope and an annulus envelope. The monitoring assembly has pressure monitors that communicate with the ports and measure pressure measurements related to the envelopes. The hanger and plug seals can be elastomeric and/or metal elements. The hanger and plug seals are preferably expandable or can be energized outward so the seals can pass any shoulders and profiles when installed in the wellbore and can then seal against the internal surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Brandon Beau Beaver, Jonathan Michael Durham

Patent number: 11663906Abstract: A projected target location of a handheld object is determined based on applying translation factors, scaling factors, and offsets to a location of a reference element of the handheld object detected by a camera on a two-dimensional plane. The translation factors are determined based on a difference between a calibration location on the plane and an initial location of the reference element corresponding to the calibration location, and serve to shift the location of the reference element to generate the projected target location. The scaling factors are determined based on an estimated length of a user's arm holding the handheld object, and serve to scale the location of the reference element to generate the projected target location. The offsets are determined based on polynomial equations, and serve to extend the distance between the projected target location and the calibration location.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Universal City Studios LLCInventors: Yu-Jen Lin, Michael Beavers, Stephen Burkett, Joshua David Danzig, Kyle P. Hanley, Humberto Kam, Anthony Melo

Patent number: 8172888Abstract: A thermal pack having a bent lip uniformly disposed away from a skin side of the thermal pack. The thermal pack of the present invention eliminates discomfort associated with prior art thermal packs by providing a lip that bends up and away from the skin, thereby avoiding or minimizing contact with the skin and limiting irritation. The pack is preferably provided with an insulated wrap 90 that can be attached to the pack, such as by a hook-and-loop fastener. The wrap will aid in placement of the device upon the user, as well as extend the benefits of the thermal medium. The wrap is conventionally formed of a thermoplastic material commonly used in packaging.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Inventors: Stephen Michael Beavers, Jed Cowell

Publication number: 20070275152Abstract: The present disclosure describes a certain isoflavone-enhanced domestic animal feed compositions and methods of producing such feed compositions. In one particular implementation, a feed composition includes a soy meal that is no more than about 20 weight percent of the feed composition. This soy meal has a soy isoflavone content that provides the feed composition with a soy isoflavone concentration, normalized to an aglycone content of about 250-1400 parts per million on a weight basis (ppm), e.g., about 800-1200 ppm. Feed compositions in certain adaptations have demonstrated some advantages over feeds with lower isoflavone content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2004Publication date: November 29, 2007Applicant: Cargill Incorporated of DelawareInventors: David Cook, Mark Newcomb, Michael Beaver
