Publication number: 20240137363Abstract: In some examples, a system receives information from electronic devices comprising network devices and computing devices in a computing environment that are subject to attestations of interfaces of the network devices and the computing devices. For each interface of a given computing device being attested, the system verifies that the interface of the given computing device is connected to an interface of a corresponding network device that is being attested. For each interface of a given network device being attested, the system verifies that the interface of the given network device is connected to an interface of a corresponding computing device that is being attested or an interface of another network device that is being attested.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Nigel John Edwards, Thomas M. Laffey, Ludovic Emmanuel Paul Noel Jacquin, Sunil James

Publication number: 20240068348Abstract: A system can display confidence values in a wellbore inversion model using a visual indicator. The system can receive downhole data relating to the wellbore from a downhole tool deployed in a wellbore of a geological formation during a wellbore operation. The system can additionally generate an inversion model of the geological formation by performing inversion processing on the downhole data. Furthermore, the system can determine confidence values for the downhole data in the inversion model. Additionally, the system can determine a depth of detection limit for the downhole data based on the confidence values. The system can output the inversion model, the depth of detection limit, and a visual indicator based on the confidence values for display at a display device for use in adjusting the wellbore operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Jeremy James Combs, Nigel Clegg, Paul Blair Johnson, Vytautas Usaitis
