  • Patent number: 11822773
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and utilizing an interactive causal loop diagram using a causal loop designer are provided. In one or more examples, a computer-implemented method for creating a causal loop diagram comprising visually emphasized elements can comprise displaying a first element and a second element, wherein the first element and the second element comprise visually emphasizable elements. In response to receiving a user command to connect the first element to the second element, the method can comprise displaying a connection between the first element and the second element, wherein the connection comprises a visually emphasizable element. In one or more examples, the method comprises displaying a causal loop diagram comprising the first element, the second element, and the connection. In response to a user activating a visual emphasis tool, the method can comprise visually emphasizing one or more of the visually emphasizable elements.

  • Patent number: 11710039
    Abstract: Described are system, method, and computer-program product embodiments for developing an object detection model. The object detection model may detect a physical object in an image of a real world environment. A system can automatically generate a plurality of synthetic images. The synthetic images can be generated by randomly selecting parameters of the environmental features, camera intrinsics, and a target object. The system may automatically annotate the synthetic images to identify the target object. In some embodiments, the annotations can include information about the target object determined at the time the synthetic images are generated. The object detection model can be trained to detect the physical object using the annotated synthetic images. The trained object detection model can be validated and tested using at least one image of a real world environment. The image(s) of the real world environment may or may not include the physical object.

  • Publication number: 20160097247
    Abstract: A recovered fluid may be flowed through a portable fluid filtration apparatus for filtering the recovered fluid and forming a filtered fluid. The portable fluid filtration apparatus may have or include a fluid filtration platform in fluid communication with at least one self-cleaning filter component. The fluid filtration platform may have at least two segments where a first segment is configured to be attachable to a second segment. Each segment may include at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and at least one valve. In a non-limiting embodiment, the portable filtration apparatus may be in fluid communication with an oilfield fluid filtration system.
