Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for determining spatial distributions of petrophysical properties in a subsurface formation. A method includes obtaining input data including petrophysical data, geophysical data and geological data of the subsurface formation; selecting input features from the input data; forming a training dataset including the input features and corresponding labeled data representing a target petrophysical property of the subsurface formation; training, using the training dataset, an ensemble machine learning model; and determining a spatial distribution of the target petrophysical property based on the trained ensemble machine learning model.

Abstract: A wind turbine blade having a blade shell with a lightning protection system. The lightning protection system has a first metal layer at an outer surface of the blade shell and a second metal layer at the outer surface of the blade shell and stacked on the first metal layer to form intimate electrical contact with the first metal layer at a multiple-thickness region.

Abstract: A method for generating history matched grid data. The method includes obtaining observed production data and obtaining latent grid data. The method further includes processing the observed production data to form observed latent production data and generating denoised latent grid data by removing noise from the latent grid data using a diffusion model guided by the observed latent production data and a time encoding. The method further includes generating history matched grid data by decoding the denoised latent grid data and optimizing production of a well using the history matched grid data.

Abstract: Various apparatus, methods, techniques and systems are disclosed for admitting, tracking, monitoring and processing data about visitors and vehicles that visit an access-controlled environment. A network having one or more greeting stations and a number of linked answering stations collects and manages data concerning visitors and/or vehicles in the access-controlled environment, and can manage or assist individuals in managing granting access to the access-controlled environment, monitoring visitors and vehicles present in the access-controlled environment, limiting movement and access to certain areas in the access-controlled environment and generating records and other data about each visit. Some embodiments of the network are also adaptable for use in providing traveler assistance and consular services for various types of individuals.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, techniques and methods for enabling medical consultations between a medical professional using a consultant station in a brick and mortar medical facility linked via a network to a patient using a patient station located at a pharmacy. Both the patient station and consultant station are equipped with video and audio conferencing apparatus, and the consultant station further includes a specialized medical images display for viewing medical images relating to the consultation. A patient logs in to the patient station, verifying who the patient is and the patient's eligibility to consult with one or more medical facilities and/or professionals. Likewise, the medical professional at the consultant station must verify their authorization to participate in the consultation.

Abstract: Various systems, methods, apparatus and techniques for conducting interactions between and among consumers and sellers use a networked configuration of devices, where the network includes servers and memory storage apparatus. Consumers can provide various types of information and data via the network to be stored for later retrieval and to assist the sellers in helping consumers find discounted products and services and conduct shopping efficiently. Moreover, consumers can use the networked resources and information to create a consumer community and social networking apparatus, sharing recipes, ideas, experiences and the like. Marketing and promotional programs can be implemented via such networked participants and can be personalized to consumers based on information they have provided and data collected regarding consumer behavior and actions. Also, informational materials such as catalogs can be made available on the network and easily updated, changed, etc. by sellers.

Abstract: A method and system of managing performance of data transfers for a data access system providing data transfers from content servers to remote users in response to user requests, includes calculating performance data summaries at least at a subset of the user sites and transmitting the data for receipt for remote summarization and storage. The data include information indicative of transfer size, throughput, transfer time, source, time and date. The method and system include selecting a quantity of the performance data received, preferably over a time interval, and summarizing and storing the data. Further summarizes can also be calculated. The data may be used to ascertain conditions and manage the performance of the data access system. In the preferred embodiment, the method and system measure performance of Internet HTTP server applications.
