  • Patent number: 12140019
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that characterize and evaluate well integrity of a cased well using unsupervised machine learning of acoustic data. Sonic waveform data for acoustic signals received by the receiver array of a sonic logging tool is collected and processed to determine a high-dimensional representation of the sonic waveform data. The high-dimensional representation is input to an unsupervised machine learning system to determine a low-dimensional representation of the sonic waveform data. A clustering method is applied to the low-dimensional representation to identify a set of clusters therein. At least one well integrity property of the depth interval of the cased well is determined based on the set of clusters. In embodiments, the at least one well integrity property can characterize cement condition in an annulus of the cased well as a function of azimuth and depth and can be used to evaluate cement integrity in a depth interval of the cased well.

  • Patent number: 11681774
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for solving combinatorial optimization problems. A classical algorithm provides an approximate or “seed” solution which is then used by a quantum circuit to search its “neighborhood” for higher-quality feasible solutions. A continuous-time quantum walk (CTQW) is implemented on a weighted, undirected graph that connects the feasible solutions. An iterative optimizer tunes the quantum circuit parameters to maximize the probability of obtaining high-quality solutions from the final state. The ansatz circuit design ensures that only feasible solutions are obtained from the measurement. The disclosed method solves constrained problems without modifying their cost functions, confines the evolution of the quantum state to the feasible subspace, and does not rely on efficient indexing of the feasible solutions as some previous methods require.

  • Patent number: 11676038
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating to an initial optimized baseline solution to a multi-objective problem. As the initial optimized baseline solution is determined, some regions, such as local or global maxima, minima, and/or saddle points in the objective space may be mapped. The mapping may be performed by storing mesh chromosomes corresponding to some of the features (e.g., extrema, saddle points, etc.) in the objective space along with the location of those chromosomes within the objective space (e.g., objective values corresponding to each of the objectives). The mesh chromosome may be used in subsequent re-optimization problems, such as with reformulation. Although in a re-optimization the objectives, decision variables, and or objective/constraint models may change, the mesh chromosomes may still provide information and direction for more quickly and/or with reduced resources converge on a re-optimized solution.

  • Patent number: 11671273
    Abstract: A central hub and database for a smart home environment enable the learning of states associated with items within the smart home and the training one or more machine-learned models associated with the items. After training the machine-learned models, the central hub can modify a state of an item based on the machine-learned model associated with the item. For instance, a window can be opened or shut, a light can be dimmed or turned off, and a door can be locked. Each state of the object can be associated with a set of conditions that, when satisfied, cause the central hub to change the state of the object using the corresponding machine-learned model, for instance without receiving an explicit input from a user.

  • Patent number: 11663492
    Abstract: Roughly described, a problem solving platform distributes the solving of the problem over a evolvable individuals, each of which also evolves its own pool of actors. The actors have the ability to contribute collaboratively to a solution at the level of the individual, instead of each actor being a candidate for the full solution. Populations evolve both at the level of the individual and at the level of actors within an individual. In an embodiment, an individual defines parameters according to which its population of actors can evolve. The individual is fixed prior to deployment to a production environment, but its actors can continue to evolve and adapt while operating in the production environment. Thus a goal of the evolutionary process at the level of individuals is to find populations of actors that can sustain themselves and survive, solving a dynamic problem for a given domain as a consequence.
