Patent number: 11022709Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for predicting pore pressure in geological environments. Aspects of the disclosure describe details relating to performing geomechanical modeling for a target location in order to obtain a surrogate stress at the target location and predicting pore pressure by coupling velocity data (e.g., seismic and/or sonic) with the surrogate stress. Aspects of the disclosure can be used to obtain improved predictions of pore pressure in subsurface environments, especially in basins with complex geologic histories, and in practice to improve the safe design of casing, wellbore trajectory, and overall borehole stability.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Peter Flemings, Maria Nikolinakou, Mahdi Heidari-Moghadam

Patent number: 9778369Abstract: A positioning system operates by first determining that a user is pedestrian, and then estimating a speed of the user. Having tracked a first signal from one radio transmitter whose position is known, the system attempts to detect additional signals from the one transmitter, in a search space such that the first signal and the or each additional signal are consistent with the estimated speed of the user and with one or more of the signals having been reflected off a reflector in the vicinity of the user. One or more detected additional signals from the one transmitter are then tracked, and candidate measurements, derived from the first signal and the one or more detected additional signals, are provided for use when estimating the position and/or velocity of the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Peter Fleming, Geraint Ffoulkes-Jones, Gerald Whitworth

Publication number: 20150153460Abstract: A sequential estimation method for real-time positioning or navigation systems is performed by, at each iteration: propagating a first state estimate into a state prediction, and then forming a second state estimate, by updating the state prediction using state measurements. The first state estimate is valid at a first time and comprises estimated values of a plurality of state parameters, the plurality of state parameters including at least one state parameter referring to a time earlier than the first time. The second state estimate is valid at a second time and comprises estimated values of said plurality of state parameters, the plurality of state parameters including at least one state parameter referring to a time earlier than the second time. The state measurements comprise measurements relating to state parameters at the second time and measurements relating to state parameters at the time earlier than the second time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2013Publication date: June 4, 2015Inventor: Peter Fleming

Publication number: 20140375495Abstract: A positioning system obtains an estimate of the heading of a body whose position or velocity is to be estimated, for example from a heading sensor such as a gyroscope or accelerometer. Respective signals are tracked from a plurality of transmitters, and a respective Doppler measurement is obtained from each of said tracked signals. For each of the tracked signals, a speed of the body is estimated using the estimate of the heading of the body and the respective Doppler measurement. It is then determined whether the estimated speed of the body is consistent with the signal having been received along a direct path from the transmitter. Signals that provide information about the speed of the body that is inconsistent with the signal having been received along a direct path from the transmitter are then disregarded when estimating the position or velocity of the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Peter FLEMING, Geraint FFOULKES-JONES, Qiang ZHANG

Patent number: 8229388Abstract: Methods and associated apparatus and programs for computers for operating geolocation devices are provided. The methods include determining the duration of a time interval during which the device is configured to remain active, responsive to a comparison between an estimate of benefit of remaining on for that time interval and an estimate of cost of remaining on for that time interval. The estimates of cost and benefit may be determined in response to user-selected parameters where by the end-user may effect a trade-off between battery life and receiver sensitivity. The methods also include varying the maximum duration of each listening period whereby to conserve battery power.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Qinetiq LimitedInventors: Jose Antonio Sanchez, Peter Fleming

Patent number: 8108061Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention a system and method for minimizing assembly line manufacturing including an override is provided. Each workstation is equipped with a docking station. A first database is in communication with the programmable controller and the docking station, and the docking station is also in communication with the workstation tools as well as the programmable controller. The override is disposed on a docking station. The system includes a checklist of tasks that each workstation tool is to perform. Accordingly the first database will receive the checklist for each part and will record whether or not each particular part had each of its tasks performed properly. The override may be actuated so as to allow a part to flow downstream the assembly line even though the all the tasks were not completed properly, thus minimizing manufacturing disruptions.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Gary Lee, Bruce Peter Fleming, Chris Rudolf Loates
