  • Patent number: 11986846
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying digital content onto a vehicle, the apparatus including a foam apparatus, a sensor configured to detect vehicle dimension data, at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, wherein the memory contains instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive the vehicle dimension data, calculate a concentration requirement based on the vehicle dimension data, transmit the concentration requirement to the foam apparatus, wherein the foam apparatus is configured to disperse foam onto the vehicle based on the concentration requirement, and a display device including a digital content projector, wherein the display device is configured to display a plurality of digital content onto the foam dispersed onto the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11519255
    Abstract: A method and system method for determining motion of a downhole tool and feeding back drilling performance. The method may comprise taking a synchronous tool face measurement of the downhole tool, taking a synchronous pulse-echo acquisition to estimate a shape of a borehole, inputting at least the shape of the borehole, the center trajectory of the downhole tool, the rotational time of the downhole tool, the position of the downhole tool, and the one or more measurements of the downhole tool into an information fusion for drilling dynamics, identifying at least one of a whirl, a vibration, or a stick-slip of the downhole tool, and identifying one or more borehole condition and a drilling efficiency. A system may comprise a downhole tool, at least two transducers, and an information handling system.

  • Patent number: 10947838
    Abstract: A system for determining a borehole shape may comprise a measurement assembly, wherein the measurement assembly may comprise a housing with an outer surface, a transducer disposed flush along the outer surface of the housing, and an extruded boss that connects to the outer surface of the housing. A method may comprise disposing a downhole tool that includes an instrument section into a wellbore and transmitting an excitation from the transducer into the wellbore, wherein the excitation is reflected off a wellbore wall as an echo.
