Patent number: 10941635Abstract: An exemplary embodiment includes a system to determine which wells provide input volumes to gas processing plants using a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model. The system uses a balanced approach to model all plants and wells within a basin simultaneously. The model utilizes multiple publically available data sources including well production data, plant inlet data, and GIS data. The full implementation provides at minimum a tenfold time improvement over the previously used manual techniques while increasing overall model quality.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: EAST DALEY CAPITAL ADVISORS, INCInventors: Levi Austin DeLissa, Justin Henry Carlson, Ryan Christopher Smith

Patent number: 10773264Abstract: An apparatus for coating glass articles includes a housing structure defining a chamber for receiving air or other fluid from a source of pressurized air that is in fluid communication with the chamber. The housing structure has an open end and a surface defined along at least a portion of the open end. A hot-swappable insert is removably positioned on the surface. The hot-swappable insert has a series of apertures for distributing the air or other fluid from the chamber and onto a surface of the glass articles that are positioned adjacent the insert. The insert can be replaced with another insert to adjust the flow path of the air or other fluid onto the glass articles.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Arkema Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Jon Nihart, Ryan Christopher Smith, Jeffery Lee Stricker
