Title: Plug tooling package with integrated sequence valves
Inventor: FENTON STEPHEN PAUL
IPC: E21B33/076
Filed: 2013-12-20
Abstract: A device and method of handling a plug (20) in a tubing hanger includes a pressure actuated sequence valve (46) that has multiple outlets. Hydraulic fluid from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) provides hydraulic fluid that selectively flows through the valve (46) for operating a tool (10) that handles the plug (20). The valve outlets are ported to separate lines for operating different functions of the tool. Flow to a specific outlet occurs by sequencing the valve to a corresponding position, where the valve is sequenced by changing pressure of the hydraulic fluid. The sequence valve is disposed in a piston (34) that is axially moveable within the tool. A stroking rod attaches to the piston, and is actuated by diverting flow to sides of the piston.

Title: Predictive control system for autonomous driving vehicle
Inventor: Zlatan Ajanovic
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2016-07-15
Abstract: This patent describes a method and a device for providing energy-optimal driving (ecodriving) of (semi)autonomous vehicle in presence of dynamically arising traffic situation dependent additional constraints (i.e other moving vehicles, traffic signs not known during initial planning step, etc.). The controlled vehicle is moving on an optimal speed trajectory (derived at least based on road gradient information) and approaching slowly the moving leading vehicle or the traffic sign not known during initial planning step. The proposed system generates an appropriate modified trajectory to overcome the newly arisen constraints and the decision whether to overtake or not (in case the constraint is a leading vehicle) aiming achieving global energy optimal motion. The trajectory and the decision are obtained based on previously derived optimal speed trajectory tree, cost-to-go map and leading vehicle motion prediction.
