  • Patent number: 11920441
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using stratigraphic heat maps to steer a well being drilled. Data from one or more offset wells can be provided to a computer system and used with data from a well being drilled to generate one or more stratigraphic heat maps during the drilling of the subject well. The stratigraphic heat maps can be displayed and used to determine the location of the wellbore relative to one or more geological formations, including one or more target formations or within a target formation. Based on the use of the heat maps and the location of the wellbore relative to a target, the drill plan can be adjusted or updated and/or one or more drilling parameters or operations may be adjusted to drill the wellbore, such as to drill the wellbore to the target or to maximize the length of the wellbore within a target zone.

  • Patent number: 11919238
    Abstract: A method of printing a 3D part with an additive manufacturing system includes printing a first portion of the part and pre-heating the first portion of the part along an upcoming tool path to a temperature at or above a material-specific bonding temperature and below a degradation temperature of the material. Material is extruding material onto the first portion along the pre-heated tool path while the temperature along the part surface remains at or above a material-specific bonding temperature and below the degradation temperature of the material thereby forming a newly extruded road. The method includes cooling the newly extruded road along the pre-heated tool path to remove heat imparted by the preheating step such that a thermally stable temperature is reached, wherein the preheating, extruding and cooling is performed in less than ten seconds.

  • Publication number: 20230398324
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are method, system, and computer-readable medium aspects for altering a user mind-body state through external stimuli. An aspect begins by onboarding a user through receipt of at least one data item. The aspect continues by receiving a mind-body state goal from the user and capturing the user's current mind-body state. The aspect then provides external stimuli to the user based on the at least one data item, the mind-body state goal, and the current mind-body state. The aspect captures a new mind-body state of the user after the external stimuli has been provided, and determines a similarity between the mind-body state goal and the new mind-body state. Based on the similarity, the aspect concludes by recommending further external stimuli to the user. In some aspects, the external stimuli corresponds to a category that is a predetermined combination of audio protocols, physical protocols, and behavioral cues.

  • Patent number: 11820483
    Abstract: Described herein are aircraft, comprising rear spar integration assemblies, and methods of manufacturing these aircraft. Specifically, an aircraft comprises a keel beam and a center wing box, comprising a rear spar. The rear spar is attached to the keel beam using a rear spar integration assembly. The assembly comprises a rear spar stiffener, attached to the rear spar, and having a stiffener load axis. The assembly also comprises and a keel beam fitting, attached to the keel beam, and having a fitting load axis. The rear spar stiffener is also attached to the keel beam fitting, e.g., using splice plates. More specifically, the fitting load axis is offset relative to the stiffener load axis along the primary axis of the aircraft. This offset is designed to compensate for a bending moment at the keel beam-rear spar interface, which allows reducing the size and/or the number of fasteners needed.
