Abstract: Systems and methods for graph embedding already-collected but not yet connected data are disclosed. A method includes extracting a first set of actor-related data, a second set of object-related data, and a third set of temporal data from a set of the already-collected but not yet connected data representative of a unit-level contribution to the target activity. The method further includes generating graph data for at least one graph having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges using the set of the already-collected but not yet connected data, where each of the plurality of nodes corresponds to the actor or the object, and where an attribute associated with each of the plurality of edges corresponds to a measurement associated with the target activity during a temporal dimension of interest. The method further includes converting the graph data into metric space data using a graph embedding process.

Abstract: A running tool sets and cements a liner in a borehole. While the tool’s bypass section is closed, a plug deployed to the tool diverts hydraulic pressure to set a liner hanger in the borehole. The setting plug is unseated, and the bypass section is switched opened by deploying another plug to an opening seat and shifting a control sleeve open relative to a bypass port. While the tool’s packoff remains sealed in the hanger, cement pumped out the bypass port is bullheaded into a lap of the liner and borehole. When cementing is complete, the bypass section is switched closed by deploying another plug to a closing seat and shifting the control sleeve closed relative to the bypass port. The bypass section is then placed in a flow-through condition where fluid communication is reestablished through the tool to the liner by allowing fluid to flow past the plugs in the tool.

Abstract: A transparent device for use in optical applications, and methods for using and manufacturing the device are disclosed. The device generally requires several layers, including (i) a first layer comprising a transparent conductive oxide (such as indium tin oxide (ITO)), (ii) a second layer comprising a transparent semiconductor (e.g., a pn-heterojunction or a pn-homojunction), the second layer having a surface facing the first layer, (iii) a third layer comprising a liquid crystal (such as E7), the third layer having a surface facing the second layer, and (iv) a fourth layer comprising either a second transparent conductive oxide or a second transparent semiconductor, the fourth layer having a surface facing the third layer. When light illuminates a surface of the transparent metal oxide pn-heterojunction or transparent metal oxide pn-homojunction, it induces photoconductivity, modifying the surface charges.
