20150302310 | METHODS FOR DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS FOR EVENT DETECTION - Behavior modeling includes how to detect and/or predict events based on observed changes in behavior. Detection of behavior that indicates possible adverse health events is performed by remote observation of a person's behavior. Captured data is correlated with an appropriate person, without identifying the person. People are associated with objects/locations, in the environment based on how the people relate to those objects/locations. Thus, people are identified based on their body characteristics or movement. Person specific data captured is labeled with unique identifiers. The location of certain objects/locations is correlated with the behavior profile to capture and analyze a nested pattern within a larger behavior pattern. Next to certain objects, certain types of behaviors/movements are expected. However, if the movement at a determined point in time deviates significantly from “normal” behavior patterns, such deviation may be an indication that something is wrong. | 10-22-2015 |

20080247880 | Systems and Methods for Reducing Pump Downtime by Determining Rotation Speed Using a Variable Speed Drive - Systems and methods for using variable speed drives to restart downhole submersible pump motors. In one embodiment, a downhole pump is controlled using a variable speed drive that includes a control system configured to detect interruptions in the operation of the pump system. After an interruption that requires the restart of the pump motor, the control system determines the reverse rotational speed of the pump motor and restarts the motor when this speed is sufficiently low. The control system may be configured to reduce the output voltage of the variable speed drive and sweep through a range of output frequencies to determine the frequency at which the current drawn by the motor is lowest. This is the frequency at which the drive's output matches the speed of the motor and the apparent impedance of the motor is highest. When the speed is low enough, the motor is restarted. | 10-09-2008 |
20110033314 | Systems and Methods for Automatic Forward Phasing Determination in a Downhole Pump System - Systems and methods for controlling an electrical drive such as is used with electric submersible pumps used in downhole oil production, wherein the drive automatically determines the proper phasing to drive the pump motor in a forward direction. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a drive signal having an initial phasing and driving the pump to establish a column of fluid in the borehole. The drive signal is then discontinued, allowing the column of fluid to fall through the pump and cause the pump to backspin and generate a signal having phasing corresponding to the reverse rotational direction. The forward phasing is then determined to be the opposite of the phasing corresponding to the reverse rotational direction. The pump can be restarted in the forward direction, or an operator can be notified of the proper phasing to produce forward rotation of the pump. | 02-10-2011 |

20110308422 | PROPULSION VEHICLE WHICH TRAVELS ALONG A SOFT, POROUS TRACK - A vehicle track including a soft porous material and a vehicle which rides on the track by skiing cm the soft porous material. The vehicle has a large ski surface that rides on the soft porous material, supporting the weight of the vehicle at high speeds. Air within the soft porous material supplies most of the lift needed to support the train, Qniy a small amount of the support is provided by the structure of the porous material itself when the vehicle is in motion. As a result, the friction between the soft porous material and the ski surface may also be exceedingly small. To increase the amount of lift provided by the soft porous material it can be contained within a channel having impermeable sides and bottom. If the ski surface is substantially the same width as the channel, the impermeable sides prevent the air from escaping on either side of die ski surface. Accordingly, the trapped air contributes to greatly enhanced lift force. At lower speeds the vehicle can use wheels to support some or all of its weight. These wheels can ride on rails that are part of the track. The vehicle includes a propulsion system that is independent of the wheels so that it may travel over the soft porous material without running on the wheels. | 12-22-2011 |
