  • Publication number: 20240301776
    Abstract: A system for producing CO and CO2 to achieve an efficient oil recovery operation that minimizes undesirable gaseous emissions is provided. The system includes a portable CO-producing device, a portable CO2-producing device located proximate to the reservoir, and a gas collecting device configured to receive CO and CO2 and selectively distribute a desired ratio of CO and CO2 dynamically based on current reservoir conditions. Producing CO2 proximate to the reservoir comprises reforming carbon-based fuel within oxygen. Electrical energy generated is used to selectively distribute the desired ratio of CO/CO2 to the reservoir with de minimis greenhouse gases produced transmitted into the atmosphere. The system is an energy-efficient arrangement that recycles and reuses by-products and unused products from the process. Greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced compared to conventional processes by-products are fully utilized.

  • Patent number: 12062058
    Abstract: Analytical methods and systems applied to sequential event data are disclosed. An exemplary system and method analyzes datasets containing events in a plurality of journeys. The methods and systems described analyze and quantify the relative importance of events and sequences leading to outcomes where the data is complex and interconnected. In some embodiments, a graphical user interface illustrates the quantification of these datasets. In some embodiments, the graphical user interface maps the journey paths to show the relative importance of each journey path. In some embodiments, the maps of journey paths are interactive, allowing selection of paths of interest for detailed analysis. In some embodiments, the methods and systems calculate paths similar to a journey path of interest. An exemplary method and system also provides detailed recommendations for changing events within a sequence to either increase or decrease the likelihood of achieving a selected outcome.

  • Patent number: 11049370
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for detecting ATM skimmers based upon radio frequency (RF) signal. In one aspect, the disclosed embodiments include a system for detecting ATM skimmers including a memory storing instructions and one or more processors that execute the instructions to perform one or more operations for detecting ATM skimmers. The operations may include, for example, receiving radio frequency (RF) signal data corresponding to one or more RF signals detected by an antenna located within communication range of the ATM. The operations may also include determining one or more unidentified RF signals of the detected ATM RF signals that differ from one or more baseline RF signals.
