Publication number: 20220082000Abstract: A header with associated lubricator is for fluid handling at the wellhead of an oil and gas well where a plunger/lubricator lift system is deployed, and provides a novel compact lubricator with attached header which can replace a conventional wellhead flow-tee without modifying or moving other wellhead equipment to accommodate the new lubricator and header replacing the old flow-tee. A sub seal is provided at the header/lubricator attachment(s). The header with associated lubricator encloses a conduit with seals in the attachment interfaces between the header and lubricator or between the header and exit attachment means, where the conduit may also comprise a means of flow restriction through machined geometry or by retaining a reduced diameter or valve component through various means of attachment. The flow restrictor means may also be serviced via service access means provided in the header or lubricator exterior wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Scott Murdoch, Watcharin Suttipisetchart, Stephen Vetter, Leigh Durling

Publication number: 20200098466Abstract: A method of operating a machine learning model on a menu generation platform involves storing user modification for a menu generation platform comprising a menu generation algorithm, a food preference algorithm, a geofenced equivalence recommendations algorithm, and a behavior modification algorithm in a historical user interaction database. The method generates modification and optimization controls for the menu generation platform through operation of the machine learning algorithm configured by entries in the historical user interaction database and entries in a platform user interaction database. The method generates relevant suggestions and modifications for the menu generation algorithm, the food preferences algorithm, geofence equivalence algorithm, and behavior modification algorithm, displayable through a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2019Publication date: March 26, 2020Inventors: Scott Murdoch, Todd Albro, Caleb Skinner, Shannon Madsen, Lee Brillhart

Publication number: 20200090060Abstract: A method of operating a food preference algorithm involves retrieving a meal framework including at least one food component category from a meal framework database through operation of a meal selector configured by a preferences profile in a user profile, generating a meal profile including at least one food item retrieved from a food item database through operation of a food component selector configured by the meal framework and the preferences profile, operating a machine learning food preferences algorithm, and applying the updated food preferences control to the preferences profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2019Publication date: March 19, 2020Inventors: Scott Murdoch, Todd Albro, Caleb Skinner, Shannon Madsen, Lee Brillhart

Publication number: 20200074884Abstract: A method of operating a meal plan optimization algorithm involves retrieving at least one user profile from a profile database. A menu generation algorithm is configured with user preferences from the at least one user profile. A selector is configured to retrieve food items from at least one proximal food database for the menu generation algorithm from the user preferences. The menu generation algorithm may operate a meal target evaluator recursively, through operation of an iterator, to adjust and substitute meal components and then generate a meal day plan from the individual meals. A kcal target evaluator may be operated to adjust the portion size for the individual meals in the meal day plan. And a food menu for at least one day displayable through a user interface associated with the at least one user profile, from meal day plans may be generated through operation of a constructor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Scott Murdoch, Todd Albro, Caleb Skinner, Shannon Madsen, Lee Brillhart

Publication number: 20200074879Abstract: A method of operating a system for modifying behavior involves generating behavior adherence data from monitored behavior data, meal planning data, meal consumption (or food log) data, and planned activities data through operation of a behavior analyzer. Behavior adherence data is stored as historical user behavior in a controlled memory data structure. A behavior modifying notification is generated from demographic information, the behavior adherence data, the historical user behavior, health and behavior research data, biometric data, and location data from a user's mobile device, through operation of a machine learning algorithm. The behavior modifying notification is displayed through a display device of the mobile device, and the displayed behavior modifying notification is communicated to the behavior analyzer for generating the behavior adherence data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Scott Murdoch, Todd Albro, Caleb Skinner, Shannon Madsen, Lee Brillhart

Publication number: 20190108287Abstract: A system comprising a user interface and a controller operating to receive an input at a control interface. The system generates a control signal associated with the control interface. The system operates one or more filters to select a first set of food items from a proximal food distributor database and a menu rules control. The system generates a menu generation control signal utilizing the first set of food items selected and the menu rules control. The system sends the menu generation control signal to a menu generator and in response receive a menu control signal from the menu generator, the menu control signal associated with a second set of food items in the proximal food distributor database, wherein the second set of food items is a subset of the first set of food items. The system alters the machine display based on the menu control signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2018Publication date: April 11, 2019Inventors: Scott Murdoch, Todd Albro, Caleb Skinner, Shannon Madsen

Publication number: 20070044593Abstract: Open-end ratcheting socket wrench, unidirectional in rotation, reversible by flipping the wrench body to its other side. The socket has a slot on one side to fit over the cable, tubing, or pipe being worked on. There are three pawls so a minimum of two are in contact with ratchet gear at all times since one will be disengaged with the gear when the open face is adjacent to the pawl. The intended use of the tool is to loosen or tighten a fitting attached to a cable, tubing, or pipe especially in a recessed area without having to reposition the wrench onto the fitting using a ratcheting action. The socket is then backed away from the work piece, the slot in the socket realigned with the slot in the body and the wrench and socket removed from the cable, tubing, or pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventor: Scott Murdoch
