  • Publication number: 20240084688
    Abstract: Methods and systems for updating a geological model of a subsurface region are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a first non-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) well log and a core sample from a first wellbore, and determining a hydrocarbon pore volume (HcPV) prediction method. The method also includes obtaining, from a second wellbore, a second non-NMR well log and an NMR log, determining a measured HcPV based on the NMR well log, and predicting the predicted HcPV using the second non-NMR well log and the HcPV prediction method. The method further includes determining a calibrated HcPV prediction method based on the predicted HcPV, wherein the calibrated HcPV prediction method comprises a calibrated facies prediction method, obtaining a third non-NMR well log from a third wellbore, predicting a calibrated facies using the third non-NMR well log and the calibrated facies prediction method, and updating the geological model based on the calibrated facies.

  • Publication number: 20240083117
    Abstract: A method of printing a multi-material part in a layer-wise manner with an extrusion-based 3D printer includes providing a sliced digital model of a multi-material part and determining a number of materials in each of the slices of the digital mode. The method includes utilizing a digital model of a purge tower having N subdivisions having a closed geometry, wherein N is the number of print heads needed to print the part that is greater than or equal to three, each adjacent subdivision contact one another along an interface and assigning each print head to one subdivision and to tool paths forming the one subdivision in each layer. The method includes reassigning the assigned subdivision within the purge tower of an inactive print head in a layer to a print head that is active in the layer of the multi-material part.

  • Publication number: 20240074783
    Abstract: Rotational atherectomy devices and systems can remove or reduce stenotic lesions in implanted grafts by rotating one or more abrasive elements within the graft. The abrasive elements can be attached to a distal portion of an elongate flexible drive shaft that extends from a handle assembly that includes a driver for rotating the drive shaft. In particular implementations, individual abrasive elements are attached to the drive shaft at differing radial angles in comparison to each other (e.g., configured in a helical array). The centers of mass of the abrasive elements can define a path that fully or partially spirals around the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 11919803
    Abstract: One or more aspects of the disclosure pertain to an article including a film disposed on a glass substrate, which may be strengthened, where the interface between the film and the glass substrate is modified, such that the article has an improved average flexural strength, and the film retains key functional properties for its application. Some key functional properties of the film include optical, electrical and/or mechanical properties. The bridging of a crack from one of the film or the glass substrate into the other of the film or the glass substrate can be suppressed by inserting a nanoporous crack mitigating layer between the glass substrate and the film.

  • Patent number: 11914772
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to detecting hand gesture input using an electronic device, such as a wearable device strapped to a wrist. The device can have multiple photodiodes, each sensing light at a different position on a surface of the device that faces skin of a user. Examples of the disclosure detect hand gestures by recognizing patterns in sensor data that are characteristic of each hand gesture, as the tissue expands and contracts and anatomical features in the tissue move during the gesture.
