Title: Diverter valve for a bottom hole assembly
Inventor: THOR-HARALD ENGEVIK
IPC: E21B34/12
Filed: 2018-11-27
Abstract: A bottom hole assembly (BHA) valve comprises a mandrel 34 within a surrounding outer housing 36 defining an annular fluid chamber 46. The mandrel has spaced apart first 44 and second 48 ports providing fluid communication between a longitudinal flow passage 16 and the surrounding annular fluid chamber 46. Relative longitudinal movement of the mandrel 16 within its surrounding housing 36 moves the second ports 48 away from the fluid chamber 46 and blocks flow to build-up pressure at the annular fluid chamber 46. Biased members 30 on the outside of the housing 36 frictionally engage casing. As weight is set-down on the mandrel 34 it slides longitudinally through its housing and second ports 48 pass seals 52 to stop fluid flow. The valve is used to control whether fluid passes is diverted into the annular chamber and straight through to the motor of a tubing cutter, or blocks fluid flow at the annular chamber to increase pressure and operate a hydraulic jack puller to release segments of casing from a borehole.

Title: Texture filtering
Inventor: ROSTAM KING
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 2019-10-17
Abstract: A method of performing anisotropic texture filtering for applying a texture at a sampling point P in screen space 601 is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of calculating texture-filter parameters and filtering the texture for the sampling point using a kernel having a footprint in texture space. The parameter computation includes generating two relatively rotated pairs of screen-space basis vectors, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Two pairs (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) of texture-space basis vectors corresponding to the pairs of screen-space basis vectors are transformed to texture space under a local mapping approximation, based on vector magnitude differences for at least one pair of texture-space basis vectors. An angle between a selected pair of screen-space basis vectors and screen-space principal axes (r1, r2) is calculated in a local approximation, indicating the mapping maximum and minimum scale factors. The angle and the selected pair of screen-space basis vectors are used to generate texture-space principal axes (R1, R2), associated with the mapping scale factors. Associated integrated circuit manufacturing datasets and systems are also disclosed.

Title: Systems for machine learning, optimising and managing local multi-asset flexibility of distributed energy storage resources-divisional
Inventor: SIMON RICHARD DANIEL
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2018-06-22
Abstract: A system for optimising and managing distributed energy storage resources gathers data and monitors usage of end devices and resources at remote sites in a network, and determines a battery charging plan for charging/discharging batteries at the remote sites, where the batteries may be electric vehicle (EV) batteries. End devices at the remote sites control charging in accordance with their charging plans, but also implement a charging protocol to respond to local constraints, congestion, or local limits, to optimise energy transmission. The charging protocol begins charging/discharging at an initial rate, periodically increments the rate towards a target rate according to the charging plan, determines that a local limit has been reached, and in response reduces the rate. The local limit may be determined by monitoring network voltage or frequency. The battery charging plan may be adjusted for market and tariff signals, weather data, location constraints, and energy use by the building or vehicle at the remote location, or predictions and models of usage patterns and network performance. Also claimed are a system for classification of events in an energy system using a recurrent neural network, and a method of recording energy charging events in a mesh-chain.
