Patent number: 11790354Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for a remittance system that pre-populates remittance data based on historical usage of remittance transactions. One example system includes operations to generate, using a predictive model, data indicating a predicted likelihood of a user selecting at least one data exchange transaction, wherein the data indicates the predicted likelihood of the user performing the at least one data exchange transaction. A request is received to access a remittance page. In response, the at least one data exchange transaction that was previously generated is selected from a repository of predicted likelihoods. Remittance data associated with a UI element is generated that includes the at least one data exchange transaction. The remittance data is transmitted to the device. An indication from the device is received for interacting with the UI element. The data exchange transaction is executed in response to receiving the indication.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Inventors: Rajeev Kumar Gandhi, Robert Kyle Miller, Kushank Rastogi, David Samuel Tax, Milos Dunjic, Arthur Carroll Chow, Armon Rouhani, Maryam Karbasi, Kamana Tripathi, John Jong-Suk Lee, Arun Victor Jagga

Publication number: 20230313627Abstract: A milling system may be used to remove the portions of a failed valve that is blocking the wellbore. When milling a partially open valve obstructing the wellbore, the target material to be removed may not be present at the central axis of the wellbore causing the target material to not fully surround the milling bit, which may cause the bit to be deflected away from the target during milling reducing milling efficiency. The disclosed milling system may be used to mill out and capture the coupon for any downhole obstruction that does not have any material near the center axis of the wellbore. A first embodiment of the milling sytem may be configured to fully mill out material within the wellbore while a second embodiment may be used to mill out material within the wellbore and further catch the milled material or coupon.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Gregory Giem, Benjamin Jean Yvon Durand, Joshua Wurtz, Robert Kyle Wiesenborn, Joseph Casassa, Rodrigo Feliu
