  • Patent number: 11920814
    Abstract: A method of controlling an agricultural facility for housing a plurality of animals includes the step of regulating the environment within the agricultural facility with an automated building operational system. An automated thermal event controller is operationally coupled with the automated building operational system and generates a thermal event signal in response to a thermal event in progress, whereby the automated thermal event controller, upon receipt of the thermal event signal indicating that the thermal event is in progress, activates an alarm state. In the alarm state, the automated thermal event controller: sends an alarm signal to a system administrator; places the automated building operational system in a safety-mode condition for a first predetermined time interval; and places the automated building operational system in a normal-mode operational condition after the first predetermined time interval and if a confirmatory signal is not yet then received from the system administrator.

  • Publication number: 20230133440
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying augmented reality information for a real object. A transparent display displays the information for the real object within a field of view, such that the information and the real object are simultaneously viewable by a user. Data-gathering peripheral devices gather data of the field of view, including a camera gathering visual data for tracking the real object. An articulating arm moveably supports and facilitates repositioning the display and redirecting the data-gathering peripheral devices in a particular direction. A security interlock disables the data-gathering peripherals when the articulating arm is moved beyond a pre-established threshold, thereby preventing the data-gathering peripherals from gathering data of a real environment outside of a limit of the field of view as determined by the pre-established threshold. The security interlock may include an adjustable contact switch which adjustably defines the pre-established threshold in at least one direction.

  • Publication number: 20230118696
    Abstract: Methods are provided for characterizing organic matter in a geological rock formation that perform a Raman spectroscopy measurement on a rock sample of the formation to acquire a Raman spectrum of the rock sample. At least one processor is used to perform operations that involve i) analyzing the Raman spectrum of the rock sample to determine data characterizing at least one Raman spectral feature corresponding to the rock sample, ii) inputting the data characterizing the at least one Raman spectral feature corresponding to the rock sample into a computation model that determines a value of a property of organic matter in the rock sample given the data characterizing the at least one Raman spectral feature as input, and storing or outputting or displaying the value of the property of organic matter in the rock sample. In embodiments, the property of organic material in the rock sample can be a property of kerogen in the rock sample, or a property of asphaltenes or bitumen in the rock sample.

  • Publication number: 20230078728
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that combine NMR and IR spectroscopy measurements on a rock sample to determine data representing at least one property of the rock sample. In one embodiment, cuttings can be split into first and second lots. Results of an NMR measurement performed on the first lot of cuttings without cleaning can be analyzed to determine pore volume of the cuttings. Results of an IR spectroscopy measurement performed on the second lot of cuttings after solvent cleaning can be analyzed to determine matrix density of the cuttings. Porosity can be determined from the pore volume and matrix density of the cuttings. In another embodiment, combined NMR and IR spectroscopy measurements can be performed on an unprepared rock sample (without solvent cleaning) to characterize properties of kerogen in the rock sample and porosity. In another aspect, a method is provided that employs multi-nucleic NMR measurements to determine porosity.

  • Publication number: 20220179121
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to learn and apply a mapping function from data representing concentrations of atomic elements in a geological formation (or other data corresponding thereto) to mineral component concentrations in the geological formation (and/or from mineral component concentrations to reconstructed elemental concentrations in the geological formation). The mapping function can be derived from a trained neural network (such as an autoencoder). The output of the mapping function can be used to determine estimates of one or more formation properties, such as formation matrix density, formation porosity, matrix Sigma, formation saturation, other formation property, or combinations thereof.
