  • Patent number: 12215577
    Abstract: A perforating gun used in oil and gas completions operations, the perforating gun including a ballistic interrupter actuable from a disarmed state or configuration, in which ballistic communication between a detonator and a detonation cord is impeded, to an armed state or configuration, in which ballistic communication between the detonator and the detonating cord is permitted. A gun string includes the perforating gun and one or more additional perforating guns substantially identical to the perforating gun.

  • Publication number: 20220327298
    Abstract: A process for triggering projected displays can comprise determining that an RFID device has moved within a predetermined range of a first interrogator, wherein the RFID device is carried by a user. The RFID device can be interrogated to determine a first identifier. Based on the first identifier, an identity of the user can be determined. A projection command can be transmitted to a projection source, wherein the projection command comprises the identity of the user and instructive indicia comprising information about a toy, wherein the toy comprises a second RFID device.

  • Publication number: 20210286474
    Abstract: A touch-capacitive surface system can include a plurality of touch surfaces positioned along a target body. Each of the plurality of touch surfaces can include a capacitive surface. A touch controller electrically can couple to each of the plurality of touch surfaces. The touch controller can detect a touch from a particular touch surface of the plurality of touch surfaces. The system can include a project source and at least one computing device in communication with the touch controller and the projection source. The at least one computing device can generate, via the projection source, projected content at least partially onto the target body in response to the touch controller detecting the touch from the particular touch surface.

  • Publication number: 20210056467
    Abstract: A process for training a computer-implemented model can comprise collecting, via at least one computing device, training data associated with at least one entity. The training data can comprise categorical data, observational data, and at least one known interest. A training dataset can be generated based on the categorical data, wherein the training dataset comprises the known interest and a plurality of parameters based on the categorical data. A respective weight can be determined for each of the plurality of parameters based on the observational data. A weight can be generated for each of the plurality of parameters based on the respective weight value corresponding to each of the plurality of parameters. A machine learning model for predicting interests can be generated and trained using the training dataset.

  • Publication number: 20210056376
    Abstract: A process for automated story generation can comprise receiving, via at least one computing device, interaction data associated with an entity and a physical environment. Based on the interaction data, the at least one computing device can determine that at least one event occurred based on the interaction data. The at least one computing device can execute a trained machine learning model on the interaction data to generate an output comprising one or more interests. The at least one computing device can generate a composition comprising an audio element and a visual element based on the output.
