  • Publication number: 20250146426
    Abstract: A method of controlling an aeronautical gas turbine engine may be performed with an electronic controller. The method may include determining an airfoil pitch control command for at least one of a plurality of airfoils of the aeronautical gas turbine engine based at least in part on an excitation load acting upon the aeronautical gas turbine engine, and outputting the airfoil pitch control command to one or more actuators actuatable to change a pitch angle of the at least one of the plurality of airfoils. The airfoil pitch control command may be configured to augment and/or compensate for the excitation load acting upon the aeronautical gas turbine engine. The method may be embodied by a non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with the electronic controller, cause the electronic controller to perform the method.

  • Patent number: 11459882
    Abstract: Systems, processes, and computer-readable media for determining lithology porosity of a formation rock from surface drilling parameters using a lithology porosity machine learning model without the use of wireline logging. Lithology porosity at different depths in existing may be determined from the wireline logs. The lithology porosity may be shaly sand, tight sand, porous gas, or porous wet. The lithology porosity machine-learning model may be trained and calibrated using the data from a structured data set having surface drilling parameters from the existing wells and lithology porosity classifications from the wells. The lithology porosity machine learning model may then be used to determine a lithology porosity classification for a new well without the use of wireline logging.
