Title: Analyzing mixability of well cement slurries
Inventor: VIVEK S GOEL
IPC: E21B33/16
Filed: 2014-08-28
Abstract: Some aspects of what is described here relate to analyzing a well cement slurry. In some aspects, a well cement slurry is mixed in a mixer under a plurality of conditions. The plurality of conditions correspond to a plurality of distinct Reynolds number values for the well cement slurry in the mixer. Power number values associated with mixing the well cement slurry in the mixer under the plurality of conditions are identified. Each power number value is based on an amount of energy used to mix the well cement slurry under a respective one of the plurality of conditions. Values for parameters of a functional relationship between power number and Reynolds number are identified based on the power number values and the Reynolds number values for the plurality of conditions.

Title: Self parking vehicle
Inventor: SEOK LEE
IPC: G08G1/14
Filed: 2018-01-25
Abstract: A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle 101, comprises determining that a user 210 has departed the vehicle 101, identifying available parking spaces 205, based at least in part on one of stored parking restrictions 230 and vehicle sensor data. One of the parking spaces is selected based at least in part on a distance d1-d3 to a respective parking space 205 and an environmental condition the vehicle 101 navigated to park at the selected parking space. The parking space may be identified by detecting other parked vehicles. The cost of parking may be used to choose between available spaces. If it is determined that a parking restriction is imminent, then the vehicle may move away from the parking space. The parking space may be chosen based upon a score, and the score may be determined according to an environmental condition or a risk of damage. The damage risk may be determined by gathering vehicle vibration or pressure sensor data. The vehicle may return to collect the driver or a passenger following expiration of a time delay. The vehicle may be restricted from moving from a space if it is determined that it is being recharged. This is akin to a valet parking system.

IPC: B62D15/02
Filed: 2018-11-14
Abstract: A control system for a host vehicle configured to determine a bifurcation (401, Fig.4) of a first lane 301 into a plurality of lanes 303, 305, and cause control (403) of the vehicle’s speed and/or direction as it approaches the bifurcation based on the determination. Preferably, a lateral distance from a lane position within the first lane to a position within one of the plurality of lanes is determined. A longitudinal distance to the start of the plurality of lanes may also be determined, which may be a road marking denoting a lateral edge of one of the plurality of lanes. The vehicle could be controlled to follow a clothoidal or sigmoidal shaped path, wherein the curve ends are colinear with the lanes. The path could be constrained based om a derivative of lateral displacement with respect to longitudinal displacement or time. Alternatively, this could be a second derivative. A target lane could be dependent on this constraint, a requirement to select a nearside lane, or a navigation constraint. The bifurcation may be determined through map data.
