  • Patent number: 11298791
    Abstract: A method of removing material from a workpiece includes moving a coated abrasive over a receiving surface of a platen, the receiving surface having at least one opening configured for the flow of an ejection material therethrough, moving the platen and workpiece relative to each other to contact the coated abrasive to the workpiece and removing material from the workpiece, and controlling a flow pressure for the ejection material through the at least one opening during removing material from the workpiece, where the flow pressure of the ejection material can be adjusted based on at least one of the operation parameters such as a translation rate of the coated abrasive over the receiving surface, the weight of the coated abrasive, a material removal rate, a coefficient of friction between the coated abrasive and the platen, or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20180293740
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for imaging and identification of obscured objects. One system herein includes a volumetric data source comprising three dimensional (3D) imaging data of a scene, and a two dimensional (2D) image source comprising 2D image data of the scene. The system also includes a processor operable to process the 2D data and the 3D data to generate a model of a material obscuring an object in the scene from sensors providing the 2D data and the 3D data. The processor is further operable to refine the model with detection data of the material from the volumetric data source, to detect the material obscuring the object based on the refined model, to generate an image of the scene, and to remove data pertaining to the material from the image to reveal the object in the image.

  • Patent number: 5437329
    Abstract: The invention provides for metering the pumping rate of BFS/mud mixtures pumped to the cementing head on a rig for sealing off the formation from the casing. Since BFS/mud mixtures require an activation agent, preferably sodium hydroxide is pumped into the flowline to the cementing head. Feedback from the BFS/mud slurry flowrate is fed to the activator injector pump drive system to regulate the addition rate of the activating agent in response to varying conditions, such as mud flowrate. The injection rate target can also be adjusted to compensate for any changes in downhole temperature. The risk of fouling surface equipment and the casing internal diameter is minimized because the activation agent is added very close in time to when the BFS/mud mixture enters the cementing head.
