  • Publication number: 20250033919
    Abstract: A media processing apparatus includes a slit insertable a sheet bundle of multiple sheets, a sheet-bundle holder, a liquid applier, a press binder, and a controller. The sheet-bundle holder holds the sheet bundle and detects the thickness of the sheet bundle. The liquid applier applies liquid to the sheet bundle. The press binder presses and binds the sheet bundle to perform press-binding process. The controller causes the sheet-bundle holder to hold the sheet bundle and detect the thickness of the sheet bundle, determines whether to cause the liquid applier to apply liquid to the sheet bundle based on the thickness of the sheet bundle, causes the liquid applier to apply the liquid to the sheet bundle when it is determined that the thickness of the sheet bundle is equal or larger than a prescribed thickness, and causes the press binder to press and bind the sheet bundle.

  • Publication number: 20240405429
    Abstract: An antenna element receives a first radio wave and outputs a transmission signal, and receives a second radio wave and outputs a reception signal. A phase conversion unit applies a predetermined phase shift amount to a signal to be input and then output the signal. A switch connects the antenna element to one of the phase conversion unit and external receiver. When the first radio wave enters the antenna, the switch connects the antenna element to the phase conversion unit, and the transmission signal to which the predetermined phase shift amount has been applied is radiated from the antenna element. A third radio wave radiated from each of a plurality of RIS elements is deflected in a predetermined direction. When the second radio wave enters the antenna, the switch connects the antenna element to the external receiver, and the external receiver receives the reception signal.

  • Patent number: 12146395
    Abstract: Using a reservoir simulator, a reservoir model state is obtained. The reservoir model state is used to trace streamlines to obtain streamline trajectories and detect fluid fronts along the streamlines. Using the streamline trajectories, the streamlines are connected to wells. The streamlines are grouped for multiple granularity levels, into groups to obtain a grouping hierarchy. Through the granularity levels of the grouping hierarchy, fluid front time of flights are determined for the groups, and target flowrates assigned to completion devices based on the fluid front time of flights to obtain target flow rates. A completion design is presented that incorporates the target flowrates.

In embodiments, the new velocity model employs a fluid transport equation part based on calculation of phase velocity for a number of fluid phases that involves capillary pressure and a modification coefficient. In embodiments, the modification coefficient can be based on a derivative of capillary pressure with respect to saturation. In another aspect, the new velocity model can employ an estimate of the phase velocity of the water phase vw_est that is based on one or more derivatives of capillary pressure of the water phase as a function of water saturation.
