  • Publication number: 20230229735
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that implement a pre-defined model container workflow allowing computing devices to flexibly and efficiently define, train, deploy, and maintain machine-learning models. For instance, the disclosed systems can provide scaffolding and boilerplate code for machine-learning models. To illustrate, boilerplate code can include predetermined designs of base classes for common use cases like training, batch inference, etc. In addition, the scaffolding provides an opinionated directory structure for organizing code of a machine-learning model. Further, the disclosed systems can provide containerization and various tooling (e.g., command interface tooling, platform upgrade tooling, and model repository management tooling). Additionally, the disclosed systems can provide out of the box compatibility with one or more different compute instances for increased flexibility and cross-system integration.

  • Patent number: 8646183
    Abstract: A process for forming a fiber reinforced core panel which is able to be contoured includes the following steps. First, slice a sheet of a low density material a plurality of times in a first direction of the sheet on at least one side, where the slices extend through only a portion of the thickness of the sheet, then divide the sheet in the second direction of the sheet into a series of low density strips having at least three faces (major face, a first edge face, a second edge face, and optionally a minor face) where the slices in the sheet form a series of cuts in the major or minor face of the low density strips. Next, arrange the series of low density strips to form a core panel and thread a continuous fibrous reinforcement sheet through the low density strips such that the fibrous reinforcement sheet is disposed between adjacent strips and adjacent to the major or minor faces of the low density strips.

  • Patent number: 8641848
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining elongated strips is provided. The strips are wrapped with a flexible material that may include a reinforcement layer and other layers such as adhesives whereby the strips can be bonded to one another. Additionally, layers of e.g., a stabilizing material may be added to one or both sides of the intermediate formed by the elongated strips and flexible material. The stabilizing material can be e.g., layers of a scrim and/or one or more layers of material that are impregnated with a resin to add strength to the intermediate.

  • Patent number: 8570044
    Abstract: To analyze content of a subterranean structure, electric field measurements at plural source-receiver azimuths in a predefined range are received. Total magnetic field measurements are also received at plural source-receiver azimuths in the predefined range. The electric field measurements and the total magnetic field measurements are provided to an analysis module to enable determination of electrical resistivity anisotropy of the subterranean structure.

  • Patent number: 8447521
    Abstract: Methods and related systems are described for analyzing electromagnetic survey data. Electromagnetic survey data of a subterranean formation is obtained using at least a downhole transceiver deployed in a borehole and a transceiver positioned on the surface or in another borehole. The electromagnetic survey data includes an incident wave component and a scattered wave component. The incident and scattered components are correlated so as to generate an image of the subterranean formation indicating spatial locations of one or more features, for example, electrical properties such as resistivity variations, in the formation. The image is based at least in part on one or more interference patterns of the incident and scattered wave components. The correlation preferably includes generating a simulation of the incident wave component propagated into the formation, and convolving the simulated propagated incident wave component with the scattered wave component.

  • Publication number: 20120238168
    Abstract: A fiber reinforced core panel contains a series of adjacent, substantially parallel low density strips and a continuous fibrous reinforcement sheet threaded through the low density strips. The low density strips have at least three faces (a major face, a first edge face, a second edge face, and optionally a minor face) where the major face of each strip is disposed within the first or second side of the core panel. At least a portion of the low density strips comprise a series of cuts, where the cuts originate in the major or minor face and the cuts extend through only a portion of the thickness of the strips.

  • Patent number: 8099239
    Abstract: A method of analyzing electromagnetic survey data from an area of seafloor (6) that is thought or known to contain a conductive or resistive body, such as a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir (12), is described. The method includes providing electric field data and magnetic field data, for example magnetic flux density, obtained by at least one receiver (25) from a horizontal electric dipole (HED) transmitter (22) and determining a vertical gradient in the electric field data. The vertical gradient in the electric field data and the magnetic field data are then combined to generate combined response data. The combined response data is compared with background data specific to the area being surveyed to obtain difference data sensitive to the presence of a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir.
