  • Method of well completion
    Patent number: 10544663
    Abstract: A method for well completion employs a combined plugging and perforating operation for creating multiple spaced-apart clusters of perforations and optional stimulation treatments in stages. For each stage to be completed, a frac plug, carried, for example, along a wireline bottom hole assembly with perforating guns, is set in the wellbore distal (toward the toe end of the well) of the most proximal perforation cluster of the previous stage, thereby maintaining open hole conditions that provide adequate flow past the most distal perforation clusters in the current stage and minimizing proppant accumulation in the wellbore from stimulation operations. The method further allows subsequent pump down of tools and equipment even with the plug set in the wellbore.

  • Systems and methods for self learning ambient light sensors
    Patent number: 10512138
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting the brightness level of a lighting system based on an ambient light measurement from a lighting based sensor. Systems and methods are provided for adjusting the brightness level of a lighting system based on an ambient light measurement from a lighting based sensor. In one example, an ambient light level in a space is measured with an embedded ambient light sensor in a luminaire. The ambient light level measurement is adjusted based on a correlation of the measurement with previously stored illumination data. A brightness level is selected based on the adjusted ambient light level measurement. The space is illuminated using the chosen brightness level.

  • Systems and methods for providing a self-adjusting light source
    Patent number: 10285243
    Abstract: System, methods, and apparatus, including devices and software, for providing self-adjusting light sources. In one aspect, a lighting unit includes one or more LEDs and an ambient light sensor. The light sensor measures ambient light in synchronization with intermittent off periods of light generated by the LEDs. For example, the LEDs in the lighting unit can be driven by a pulse width modulated signal that turns on and off the LEDs in an alternating manner, and the ambient light can be measured when the LEDs are turned off. In some implementations, a compact lighting unit, such as a light bulb, is provided that can be easily attached to standard light fixtures and can efficiently control its own brightness based on ambient light conditions.
