  • Patent number: 12511988
    Abstract: An operational monitoring system for use with a liquid jet cutting system can include an accelerometer coupled to a cutting head of the liquid jet cutting system. The accelerometer can be configured to generate motion data associated with movement of the cutting head. The system can include a computing device operably connected to the accelerometer and having a memory and a processor. The memory can store a planned data set including expected parameters associated with movement of the cutting head along a planned cut path. In some embodiments, the computing device is configured to receive the motion data from the accelerometer and correlate the motion data to the planned data set.

  • Publication number: 20250376897
    Abstract: A downhole tool includes a milling assembly configured to couple to a tubular string and run into a vertical wellbore formed from a terranean surface to one or more subterranean formations. The milling assembly includes a tubular mandrel; a first mill coupled to the tubular mandrel at a downhole end of the tubular mandrel; and a second mill coupled to the tubular mandrel uphole of the first mill. The downhole tool includes an inclination sensor mounted in or to the tubular mandrel between the first mill and the second mill. The inclination sensor is configured to determine an angle between a lateral wellbore formed by the milling assembly from a window in the vertical wellbore and the vertical wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20210212851
    Abstract: A posture improvement device provides neuromuscular stimulation or proprioceptive therapy using a combination of pressure, torque and angle simultaneously applied to a user in order to train body muscles for proper posture through muscle memory. The device comprises a garment designed to be worn by the user, which is preferably configured like a short-sleeved undershirt or T-shirt. The garment may be fabricated of a stretchable, yet taut material in order to provide the desirable form-fitting feature such that pressure may be readily applied to the surface of the skin for neuromuscular stimulation. This elastomeric material is also preferably breathable and/or which has moisture wicking capabilities.

  • Patent number: 8326746
    Abstract: A Monte Carlo simulation engine configured to perform a primary beneficiary test to determine whether a variable interest entity holder is a primary beneficiary of a financial instrument. The engine includes a cash flow engine configured to generate a set of default/prepayment curves representing one or more discrete cash flow scenarios for one or more loans for the financial instrument, the default/prepayment curves representative of systemic risk associated with the financial instrument. The engine further includes an idiosyncratic risk module configured to convert the set of default/prepayment curves defined by the cash flow engine into a number of occurrences, which, at an aggregated level, mimic the default/prepayment curve from a systemic risk model.
