  • Publication number: 20220196876
    Abstract: A system can output a graphical user interface for use in planning or performing a wellbore operation. The system can receive a location of a geological point location of interest for subterranean exploration and a geological time-frame for the geological point location of interest. The system can determine present-day data about the geological point location of interest from the received location. The system can generate a pseudo-well and reconstruct geological-historical parameters in separate time-intervals based on the received location, plate-tectonic models, and paleo-geographic datasets. The system can generate a graphical user interface including present-day data, paleo-geographic data, plate-tectonic data, and plate-interaction data. The system can output the graphical user interface for use in planning or performing a wellbore operation to extract hydrocarbon fluid.

  • Patent number: 11330370
    Abstract: Audio data in a first format may be processed to produce audio data in a second format, which may be a reduced or simplified version of the first format. A loudness correction process may produce loudness-corrected audio data in the second format. A first power of the audio data in the second format and a second power of the loudness-corrected audio data in the second format may be determined. A second-format loudness correction factor for the audio data in the second format may be based, at least in part, on a power ratio between the first power and the second power. A first-format loudness correction factor for the audio data in the first format may be based, at least in part, on the power ratio and a power relationship between the audio data in the first format and the audio data in the second format.

  • Patent number: 11125354
    Abstract: An infusion set check valve assembly includes a self-contained housing that defines inlet ports and an outlet port. The assembly also includes at least one check valve disposed within the self-contained housing between the outlet channel and at least one of the inlet ports. The at least one check valve is configured to open for a first fluid to flow from a first inlet to a patient line via an outlet channel while a second fluid also flows from a second inlet to the patient line via the outlet channel. The at least one check valve closes to prevent the first fluid from flowing to the patient line via the outlet channel while the second fluid flows to the patient line.

  • Patent number: 11075762
    Abstract: The present document relates to transcoding of metadata, and in particular to a method and system for transcoding metadata with reduced computational complexity. A transcoder configured to transcode an inbound bitstream comprising an inbound content frame and an associated inbound metadata frame into an outbound bitstream comprising an outbound content frame and an associated outbound metadata frame is described. The inbound content frame is indicative of a signal encoded according to a first codec system and the outbound content frame is indicative of the signal encoded according to a second codec system. The transcoder is configured to identify an inbound block of metadata from the inbound metadata frame, the inbound block of metadata associated with an inbound descriptor indicative of one or more properties of metadata comprised within the inbound block of metadata, and to generate the outbound metadata frame from the inbound metadata frame based on the inbound descriptor.
