  • Patent number: 10528626
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns systems and methods for extracting data from documents. A computer receives a message from a sender. The message has the electronic document and an electronic address of the sender. Based on the address of the sender the computer selects a map that comprises location data of data fields and determines values of the data fields by extracting data from the electronic document using the location data of the selected map. Since the computer selects the map based on the address of the sender the computer does not need to rely on the content of the electronic document to select the correct map to use, which makes the selection less prone to errors and the method can be used with existing email systems.

  • Publication number: 20190353017
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a system is adapted to actively control one or more operating parameters associated with: a wellbore extending in a subterranean formation, and/or wellbore fluid flowing out of the wellbore via a wellhead. The system includes one or more sensors; an electronic controller adapted to receive from the one or more sensors measurement data; and a valve through which the wellbore fluid is adapted to flow. The valve is adapted to be in communication with the electronic controller. The active control of the at least one of the one or more operating parameters is adapted to facilitate: maintenance of the integrity of the wellbore, and/or enhancement of oil and/or gas production out of the wellbore. In one embodiment, the wellbore fluid flow is frac flow-back. In another aspect, a system is adapted to monitor vent gas separated from wellbore fluid flowing out a wellhead.

  • Publication number: 20190262422
    Abstract: We found that FIZZ1/RELM? is inducible by hypoxia in lung. The hypoxia-upregulated expression of FIZZ1/RELM? was located in the pulmonary vasculature, bronchial epithelial cells, and type II pneumocytes. Recombinant FIZZ1/RELM? protein stimulates rat pulmonary microvascular smooth muscle cell (RPSM) proliferation dose-dependently. Therefore, we renamed this gene as hypoxia-induced mitogenic factor (HIMF). HIMF strongly activated Akt phosphorylation. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 inhibits HIMF-activated Akt phosphorylation. It also inhibits HIMF-stimulated RPSM proliferation. Thus, the PI3K/Akt pathway, at least in part, mediates the proliferative effect of HIMF. HIMF also has angiogenic and vasoconstrictive activity. Notably, HIMF increases pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance more potently than either endothelin-1 or angiotensin II.

  • Patent number: 10311548
    Abstract: Examples described herein improve the quality of the video frames that are rendered and displayed. A system is configured to generate render targets based on instructions received from a source of video content. The system is configured to create and/or access a selection parameter and use the selection parameter to identify one or more of the render targets to be scaled. Once identified, the system scales a native size (e.g., a native resolution) of an identified render target to a larger size (e.g., based on a predetermined scaling factor), thereby generating a higher density render target. The higher density render target, or a corresponding higher density render target texture (RTT), can be used in a rendering pipeline to produce a video frame in a higher output resolution (e.g., 4k resolution) compared to the output resolution specified in the instructions (e.g., 720p resolution).
