Title: Blockchain assisted asset pedigree trackback
Inventor: SHABBIR M DAHOD
IPC: G06Q50/04
Filed: 2020-03-06
Abstract: The application describes a method of generating a trace history or chain of custody document for an asset such as a pharmaceutical product. A request for the trace history of an asset is received from an originating participant via an intermediate participant in the custody chain. This request includes an identifier of the requestor, an identifier of the asset, an identifier of a parent transaction associated with another participant in the chain of custody, and a hash of these three pieces of data. The request is assigned an identifier and verified by interrogating a blockchain block corresponding to the requestor’s identity with the hash. If the verification fails, the originating participant receives a rejection message. If the verification succeeds, a trace history document is generated. The trace history document includes the identifier of the asset, an identifier of the intermediate participant, and a disposition including an identifier of the next participant in the chain. The originating participant receives the generated trace history document and a hash of the generated document is stored on the blockchain in connection with the assigned request identifier.

The control system may detect the lever position by use of switches 67, 68 which may be electrical or pneumatic. An interlock 64 may be used to restrict the position of the lever 62 and a detent may be used between the intermediate and second positions. A media adjuster 72, such as a thumb wheel, may be used to alter the media flow rate. The control system may also have a display and communicate alarms to the user. A choke valve may be operated using switch 73.

Abstract: Methods and systems 200 for classifying test data 222, 224, 226, 228 include: determining one or more variable types in a multivariate test vector within a data set, and for a plurality of machine-learning models, determining a closest match between variable types used by (to train) the machine-learning models and the determined variable types for the test vector. In response to determining a closest match for one machine-learning model, a corresponding machine-learning model is selected to classify the test vector by classifier 232. In response to determining a closest match for multiple machine‑learning models, a similarity is determined between a probability distribution for the test data set and the probability distributions for the multiple machine-learning models to generate similarity values for each of the models. In response to one of the similarity values exceeding a threshold value, a machine-learning model is selected that corresponds to the exceeding similarity value. Machine-learning models are recorded in supervised model library 220 and selected via model select unit 235. Test data include downhole test data (electromagnetic, acoustic, nuclear) to determine higher‑level formation properties (porosity, permeability, density, chemical composition, lithology) for wellbore drilling within petroleum reservoirs. Variable types include voltage, frequency, density.
