  • Publication number: 20200340481
    Abstract: A well fluid pump has a housing with a stator having a stack of discs through which windings extend. First and second stage modules in a bore of the stator have rotating impellers and non-rotating diffusers. Magnets mounted in each of the stage modules rotate the impellers in response to electromagnetic fields generated by the windings. Anti-rotation members join adjacent ones of the impellers together in each of the stage modules for rotation in unison. A bearing assembly between the first and second stage modules has a rotatable inner portion in engagement with the impellers in the first and second stage modules for causing them to rotate in unison. The bearing assembly has a non-rotating outer portion in engagement with the stator to prevent rotation.

  • Publication number: 20200279161
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200158114
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10401804
    Abstract: CAD modeling method, system, and apparatus provide an on-demand mate controller for controlling settings of mating relationships in a CAD model. The names of mates of a CAD model assembly are auto-populated into an ordered list in the mate controller. The mate controller enables user interactive re-ordering of the listed names. With the mate controller, a user may temporarily unlock a mate, visually position assembly components, and relock the mate resulting in refined mate settings and degrees of freedom of assembly components. The mate controller enables a user to interactively change order of positions of the model assembly which in turn affects order of position changes in motion studies of the model assembly. The mate controller saves per position data of the model assembly including mate values and component degrees of freedom. The saved per position data can be readily used to create animations.
