  • Patent number: 10072800
    Abstract: One aspect provides a method including: receiving fluid conveyance infrastructure data at an electronic device; determining variance data for an infrastructure segment by comparing the received fluid conveyance infrastructure data to expected fluid conveyance infrastructure data; and providing at least one distribution based graphical representation based on the variance data. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20180031722
    Abstract: Methods and systems for acoustic data analysis are described. An example method includes obtaining digitized acoustic signals corresponding to acoustic signals collected by a logging tool deployed in a downhole environment. The method also includes providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user to view representations of the digitized acoustic signals and related coherence data. The method also includes receiving user-input regarding adjustment and inversion options for the digitized acoustic signals via a menu of the GUI. The method also includes deriving a shear slowness log for the downhole environment in accordance with the received user-input.

  • Publication number: 20170245200
    Abstract: A system and method for vehicle safety that automatically controls a communication device provided with a motion detection system which provides the motion of the vehicle to a micro-processing unit embedded in a communication device that disables certain functions of the communication device depending on the speed of the vehicle. The inventive system includes a sensor to detect vehicle motion and a set of instructions stored inside a non-volatile storage media coupled to processor. When a motion is detected, the system gets initiated and alters the functionality of the communication device depending upon the speed of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8136413
    Abstract: A bi-directional flowmeter comprises a first fluidic oscillator device arranged to measure the flow of fluid in a first direction and a second fluidic oscillator device arranged to measure the flow of fluid in a second direction opposite to the first direction and in which the two oscillators devices are connected together in series between an inlet port and an outlet port of the flowmeter between which the fluid to be measured can flow.

  • Publication number: 20050028645
    Abstract: A bottle cap remover can include structure for facilitating the assembly of the bottle cap remover. The structure can include a slot established within the top portion of an interior surface of the body of the bottle cap remover. The cover of the bottle cap remover, by comparison, can include an indexing guide formed within the interior surface of the cover which can cooperatively mate with a companion guide in the body of the bottle cap remover to ensure the proper alignment of the cover with the body. Moreover, a circular trench about the interior perimeter of the cover can facilitate the mating and securing of the cover to the body of the bottle cap remover.

  • Patent number: 6345539
    Abstract: An ultrasonic insertion flowmeter (100) is disclosed having a probe (101) which is adapted to be inserted into a duct, the probe having at least first and second ultrasonic transducer means, the probe (101) being adapted to measure the transit time difference of an ultrasonic pulse along a first path and a second path, the difference in transit time for signals along the two paths enabling the flow rate to be measured. Preferably, the probe takes measurements in both the forward and reverse directions along each path, and is adapted to rotate after initial insertion from an insertion position to a measurement position, whereafter the probe (101) may be drawn up against a wall of the duct so that alignment of the probe within the duct is readily achieved.
