20120323362 | DISPENSING CABINET WITH ARTICULATING ARM - Embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and apparatus related to a dispensing device having an adjustable user interface. According to one embodiment, a dispensing device may include a cabinet having one or more compartments for dispensing health care supplies to one or more patients. The dispensing device may also include a control system that provides various operational functions related to dispensing the health care supplies. A user interface may be communicatively coupled with the control system and may be configured to receive input from a user and provide output to the user. An articulating arm assembly may couple the user interface with the cabinet to provide the user interface with one or more translational degrees of freedom and one or more rotational degrees of freedom relative to the cabinet. | 12-20-2012 |
20130006415 | MEDICATION DISPENSING CABINET SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A medication dispensing cabinet provides controlled access to medications and supplies stored in it. The cabinet may include at least one lockable storage compartment, and a controller that controls access to the at least one lockable storage compartment. The cabinet may include multiple printers integrated into the cabinet. The cabinet may include a camera operably coupled to the controller. The cabinet may include a set of cabinet electronics, and a power distribution and communications circuit board. The cabinet may include a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, wherein the controller conditions access to the at least one lockable storage compartment on receipt of information from the RFID reader. Data may be stored in the controller according to an implementation of RAID technology. The controller may include multiple electronic communications network interfaces, and may include an out of band network communication channel. A dispensing cabinet may facilitate printing of labels for medications. | 01-03-2013 |

20080234939 | Determining Fluid Rate and Phase Information for a Hydrocarbon Well Using Predictive Models - Physical models of wells are used to determine rate and phase composition for fluid produced from or injected into the wells on a near real time and continuous basis. The method can be used to alert operators or others of conditions in a well or field to permit more immediate response. The method can be more tolerant of sensor faults, sensor drift, anomalous data or other occurrences which could otherwise lead to incorrect output. More than one model can be used to permit a hierarchy of calculation such that the rate and phase determination is more tolerant of anomalous data. The calculated rate and phase values from one or more wells can be reconciled against facility data. | 09-25-2008 |
20100023269 | MANAGING FLOW TESTING AND THE RESULTS THEREOF FOR HYDROCARBON WELLS - Automated monitoring and management of well tests of hydrocarbon wells in a production field. Routing of the output of a well to a flow meter, separated from the output from other wells in the field, is detected by a computer system such as a server. Measurement data including the flow as measured by the flow meter, and also other measurements such as temperatures and pressures contemporaneous with the flow meter measurements, are acquired by the computer system; a stable period is identified, over which the flow test measurement data are considered valid. Upon completion of a specified duration or upon a change in the flow environment, the computer system notifies the user of the completion of the flow test. The flow test results can be used to modify predictive well models, with the modification dependent on validation by the user. The system can also plan and schedule future flow tests. | 01-28-2010 |

20130166216 | Determining Fluid Rate And Phase Information For A Hydrocarbon Well Using Predictive Models - A method of determining rate and phase of fluid produced from or injected into a hydrocarbon well includes obtaining first temperature and pressure measurements from sensors at the well. The first temperature and pressure measurements are applied to a plurality of predictive well models to calculate an estimated value of fluid rate and phase composition from each of the predictive well models responsive to the temperature and pressure measurements. A first fluid rate and phase composition result is derived from the estimate value of fluid rate and phase composition from each of the predictive well models. | 06-27-2013 |
