Publication number: 20240173649Abstract: A method to drawdown pipe sections with the use or regulation control of flaring and cross-compression technique. The method allows to evacuate a fluid mixture from a drawdown section. The fluid mixture typically contains a liquid phase and a gas phase. The method includes flowing the fluid mixture from the drawdown section towards a separation vessel, and then out of the separation vessel to simultaneously flow the gas phase towards a flare for burning and flow the liquid phase towards one or more pumps towards an adjoining section. The proposed method allows recovering a higher proportion of the fluid mixture, as recycled product, and therefore limiting the combustion of the gas phase towards the atmosphere.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Ronald Williams, Sam Edwards, Joe Chandler, Cameron Brasier

Patent number: 10614106Abstract: Computerized methods are disclosed for automated question generation from source documents through natural language processing, for applications including training and testing. Interleaved selection and transformation phases employ combined semantic-syntactic analysis to progressively refine natural input text into a high density of text fragments having high content value. Non-local semantic content and attributes such as emphasis attributes can be attached to the text fragments. The text fragments are reverse parsed by matching against a precomputed library of combined semantic-syntactic patterns. Once the patterns of each fragment are determined, transformation of fragments into question-answer pairs is performed using question selectors and answer selectors tailored to each pattern. Methods for constructing distractors, both internal and external, are also disclosed. The ecosystem of machine learning components, ontology resources, and process improvement are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Eduworks CorporationInventors: Elaine Kelsey, Robby Jozef Maria Goetschalckx, Ronald Edward Ray, Aaron J.
