Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically extracting relevant information from various source document that include tabular data. The tabular data in various forms can be received as mixed with other dissimilar data. Tabular data can appear in different orientations, document types, and can be fragmented horizontally or vertically. The proposed technique automatically detects table header data in certain regions of the received source document and associates values to the extracted headers. The proposed system is capable of combining different snippets of smaller tables into a single cohesive and monolithic table with headers designated by a set of keywords and all the values in the various columns (and/or rows) included under or along proper headers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically extracting keys and corresponding values in any type of source document. Extracting desired words from the tokens in any type of document is based on a uniform approach to represent the source document. This uniform representation encodes features of the desired tokens along with the neighborhood information so that values associated with a given key can be extracted. The disclosed technique learns the representation of tokens independent of source document type and the learned representation is then used to determine relationships between multiple tokens. The neighborhood information and position information are used to determine various relationships between keys and values.

Abstract: Drilling mud is flowed through a valve assembly that is set at a particular open amount, measurements are taken of mud flowrate and a force exerted by the drilling mud onto a portion of the valve assembly, and density of the drilling mud is estimated based on historical data. The historical data is generated by directing multiple flows through the valve assembly, where the flows are at different flowrates, and at each flowrate different drilling muds having different densities are directed through the valve assembly. For each flow the valve assembly is adjusted to different open amounts, and a corresponding force exerted by the flow onto the valve assembly is measured. An example of the valve assembly is a mud pulser with a plug member that engages an orifice opening, a sensor in the pulser measures force exerted by the flow of mud.
