  • Publication number: 20240169124
    Abstract: Improvements in a molecular-dynamic simulator provide ways to save energy during computation and reduce die area consumed on an integrated circuit. Examples of such improvements include different interaction modules for different ranges, the use of streaming along rows while multicasting along columns in an array of interaction modules, the selection of computation units based on balancing computational costs and communication costs, the use of fences in networks that connect computation units, and the use of bond calculators to carry out specialized bond calculations.

  • Publication number: 20240146158
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a tool for manufacturing a coil assembly of an electric motor for a deep well vertical turbine pump with a stator assembly that has a stator bore to receive a rotor and slots radially open to the inside which are respectively separated from each other by a stator tooth and in which electrical conductors of coils of the coil assembly lie, forming distributed windings and, at one axial end of the coil assembly, a winding head. The coil assembly is manufactured by shaping and encapsulating the coils within the tool so that the winding head extends only between an inner diameter and an outer diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the stator bore in order to enable axial insertion of the coil assembly into the stator assembly leading with the winding head in which the coils are respectively wound individually, drawn into the tool as wire bundles and encapsulated within it.

  • Publication number: 20240109002
    Abstract: Embodiments presented provide a compressed air and liquid separator having a shell adapted to be vertically or horizontally oriented in use. The shell has an inlet end and an outlet end and defines a separating chamber therein. An inlet plate is coupled to the inlet end of the shell and provides a compressed gas ingress into the separating chamber, the compressed gas including a liquid therein. A plurality of inlet nozzles is disposed in the inlet plate, each inlet nozzle having an inner diameter and a length that are selected so as to accelerate the compressed gas therethrough to below a dew point thereof. A plurality of separating baffles positioned within the separating chamber above the compressed gas ingress, the separating baffles providing a means for separating the liquid from the compressed gas. An outlet plate is coupled to the outlet end of the shell, the outlet plate providing a compressed gas egress out of the separating chamber.

  • Patent number: 11734782
    Abstract: Manual human processing of documents often generates results that are subjective and include human-error. The cost and relatively slow speed of manual, human analysis makes it effectively impossible or impracticable to perform document analysis at the scale, speed, and cost desired in many industries. Accordingly, it may be advantageous to employ objective, accurate rule-based techniques to evaluate and process documents. This application discloses data processing equipment and methods specially adapted for a specific application: analysis of the breadth of documents. The processing may include context-dependent pre-processing of documents and sub-portions of the documents. The sub-portions may be analyzed based on word count and commonality of words in the respective sub-portions. The equipment and methods disclosed herein improve upon other automated techniques to provide document processing by achieving a result that quantitatively improves upon manual, human processing.

  • Patent number: 11692432
    Abstract: A method for drilling a subterranean wellbore includes rotating a drill string in the subterranean wellbore. The drill string includes a drill collar, a drill bit, and survey sensors (e.g., a triaxial accelerometer set and a triaxial magnetometer set) deployed therein. The triaxial accelerometer set and the triaxial magnetometer set make corresponding accelerometer and magnetometer measurements while drilling (rotating). These measurements are synchronized to obtain synchronized accelerometer and magnetometer measurements and then further processed to compute at least an inclination and an azimuth of the subterranean wellbore while drilling. The method may further optionally include changing a direction of drilling the subterranean wellbore in response to the computed inclination and azimuth.

  • Publication number: 20230078731
    Abstract: A gas and liquid separator includes a wet gas feedstock ingress, a plurality of separating baffles, a dried gas egress, and a first liquid egress. A wet gas feedstock under pressure enters the separator through the wet gas feedstock ingress. The wet gas feedstock ingress adiabatically and isentropically converges the wet gas feedstock and then accelerates the wet gas feedstock into the separation baffles. The separation baffles separate the constituents of the wet gas feedstock. The separated, dry gas egresses the separator through a straw of the dried gas egress that extends into the interior of a separation chamber of the separator from the top thereof. The separated liquids egress from the separator through the first liquid egress.

  • Patent number: 11393237
    Abstract: Automatic processing of documents often generates results far different from those obtained by manual human processing. For a given document processing task, many different techniques can be tried but it is often not known which will best emulate manual, human processing. This application discloses data processing equipment and methods specially adapted for a specific application: analysis of the breadth of documents. The processing may include context-dependent pre-processing of documents and sub-portions of the documents. The sub-portions may be analyzed based on word count and commonality of words in the respective sub-portions. The equipment and methods disclosed herein improve upon other automated techniques to provide document processing by achieving a result that is quantitatively closer to manual, human processing.

  • Patent number: 11379665
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of document analysis architectures are disclosed. A model builder component may be utilized to receiving user input data for labeling a set of documents as in class or out of class. That user input data may be utilized to train one or more classification models, which may then be utilized to predict classification of other documents. Trained models may be incorporated into a model taxonomy for searching and use by other users for document analysis purposes.

  • Patent number: 11002878
    Abstract: A sensing element (10) for an intrinsic gravity gradiometer (IGG) for use in sensing variation in a gravity field at a location. The sensing element (10) is flexible, elongate and has unfixed opposed ends (12, 14) when part of the gravity gradiometer. The sensing element can be a metallic ribbon, and can be mounted by a number e.g. 3 or 5, pivot points or axes 30-40 at each of the opposed sides along the sensing element, with the opposed ends of the sensing element free to move. The pivot points or axes can include pins, preferably cylindrical pins (48) or the sensing element may be etched within the side wall and remain joined to the remainder of the side wall by connections. The sensing element (10) can form part of one or more resonant cavities or wave guide (44, 52-66), such as a side or dividing wall (46) or part thereof. A dual phase bridge (61,612) arrangement can be provided. Electrical current (I) can be injected into the sensing element.
