Patent number: 11507834Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide systems and methods relating to a machine comprehension test with a learning-based approach, harnessing neural networks arranged in a parallel hierarchy. This parallel hierarchy enables the model to compare the passage, question, and answer from a variety of perspectives, as opposed to using a manually designed set of features. Perspectives may range from the word level to sentence fragments to sequences of sentences, and networks operate on word-embedding representations of text. A training methodology for small data is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Adam Trischler, Zheng Ye, Xingdi Yuan, Philip Bachman

Publication number: 20220327407Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing a natural language comprehension system that employs a two-stage process for machine comprehension of text. The first stage indicates words in one or more text passages that potentially answer a question. The first stage outputs a set of candidate answers for the question, along with a first probability of correctness for each candidate answer. The second stage forms one or more hypotheses by inserting each candidate answer into the question and determines whether a sematic relationship exists between each hypothesis and each sentence in the text. The second processing circuitry generates a second probability of correctness for each candidate answer and combines the first probability with the second probability to produce a score that is used to rank the candidate answers. The candidate answer with the highest score is selected as a predicted answer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Adam TRISCHLER, Philip BACHMAN, Xingdi YUAN, Alessandro SORDONI, Zheng YE

Patent number: 11268516Abstract: A well fluid centrifugal pump has a shaft passage in the shaft. The shaft passage has an open upper end above the impellers and a closed lower end below the impellers. An outlet port extends laterally from the shaft passage. A gas-lock re-priming device in the shaft passage diverts a portion of well fluid in the discharge adapter bore through the shaft passage and out the outlet port. The re-priming device may be a pressure actuated valve that is biased to a closed position and opens when the pressure in the discharge adapter bore drops below a minimum. Alternately, the re-priming device may be an orifice member with an orifice passage that continuously diverts a portion of the well fluid in the discharge adapter bore out the outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Xiaonan Lu, Risa Rutter, Zheng Ye

Publication number: 20210348488Abstract: An electrical submersible well pump assembly has shaft couplings. One of the couplings has a lower hub that rotates in unison with the motor shaft and an upper hub that rotates in unison with the pump shaft. A helical spring clutch engages both hubs when the motor shaft is being driven by the motor. Ceasing driving rotation of the motor shaft causes the spring clutch to disengage from the upper hub, enabling the pump shaft to rotate the upper hub without rotating the lower hub.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLCInventors: Randal Perisho, Zheng Ye

Publication number: 20210324867Abstract: An electrical submersible well pump assembly (ESP) has a spring brake having helical turns mounted between the shaft and one of the housings. The spring brake allows free rotation of the shaft in a driving direction and stops the shaft from rotating in a reverse direction. The spring brake may have one end be affixed to the housing to rotate in unison in both directions. Alternately, the spring brake may have one end affixed to the shaft for rotation with the shaft. Further, the spring brake could be free of being connected to either the shaft or the housing. A shear member may be mounted between the shaft and the housing to prevent any rotation of the shaft during run-in.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLCInventors: Randal Perisho, Zheng Ye
