  • Patent number: 11917396
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for increasing local area network (LAN) device privacy. One aspect provides a method for wireless communications at an access point (AP).

  • Publication number: 20220290537
    Abstract: Various implementations include a safety valve for mounting in a landing nipple in a wellbore. The safety valve includes a composite housing having a central passage, a shutoff element and a control mechanism. The shutoff element includes a collet and a movable mandrel having stops located in the upper part. When the shutoff element moves axially, the stops extend through the composite housing to interact with a landing nipple stop surface. The control mechanism includes a spring-loaded tubular plunger having a ring piston on its upper outer surface and longitudinal openings in its lower part, the openings being configured to align with openings in the composite housing. The movable mandrel is connected to the safety valve head at the mandrel top and rests against the plunger at the mandrel bottom. The movable mandrel has grooves and shoulders on its outer surface, which allow for taking one of the fixed positions.

  • Patent number: 10748072
    Abstract: With respect to an input data set which contains observation records of a time series, a statistical model which utilizes a likelihood function comprising a latent function is generated. The latent function comprises a combination of a deterministic component and a random process. Parameters of the model are fitted using approximate Bayesian inference, and the model is used to generate probabilistic forecasts corresponding to the input data set.

  • Patent number: 10318874
    Abstract: Corresponding to each forecasting model of a family of related models for a time series sequence, a respective state space representation is generated. One or more cross-validation iterations are then executed for each model of the family. In a given iteration, a training variant of the time series sequence is generated, with a subset of the time series sequence entries replaced by representations of missing values. Predictions for the missing values are obtained using the state space representation and the training variant, and a model quality metric is obtained based on prediction errors. The optimal model of the family is selected using the model quality metrics obtained from the cross validation iterations.

  • Publication number: 20180369508
    Abstract: The present invention relates to air-flow in a nebulizer head. In order to provide a nebulizer head with an improved air-flow guidance, a nebulizer head (10) comprises a housing structure (12) providing an air-flow path (16) with two opposite air-flow openings (18a, 18b), and a fluid reservoir (14) provided to accommodate a liquid from which small droplets are to be generated in order to form an aerosol, and an aerosol generator (20) with an aperture member (22) that comprises an aperture surface (24) with a plurality of apertures to provide the small droplets from the liquid. The fluid reservoir is arranged adjacent the aerosol generator such that the aperture member is in contact with the fluid. The aerosol generator is arranged within the air-flow path. At least one by-pass flow path (26) is provided between the aerosol generator and the housing structure. The air-flow path is a bidirectional path that provides a first air-flow direction (28) for inhaling, and a second air-flow direction (38) for exhaling.
