20150252546 | GROUND ANCHOR - A ground anchor has an anchor body with a ground insertion end and a surface end that remains accessible from above the ground surface when the body is inserted into the ground. Arms are pivotally connected to the anchor body and have an installation position, a ready position, and a deployed position. A first actuator moves the arms from the installation position to the ready position. In the ready position, an upward force applied to the anchor body causes the deployment profile to engage the ground material, the ground material causing the one or more arms to move to the deployed position in which the one or more arms extend outward from the anchor body and into the ground material. | 09-10-2015 |

20150149098 | METHOD OF DETECTING AND CONTROLLING E-LINE LOSS - A method of detecting E-line loss in a disc stack centrifuge is provided, comprising: collecting data from at least one instrument associated with the centrifuge over a specific time period; calculating one or more indicators by comparing the collected data with expected values from a normally operating centrifuge, the indicators being indicative of a start of an E-line loss event; calculating the probability of E-line loss by applying weighted voting to the indicators to yield a probability value; and activating an alert upon determination that the probability value exceeds a threshold value. | 05-28-2015 |
20160086321 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE-BASED ANALYSIS OF A SLURRY AND CONTROL OF A SLURRY PROCESS - A system for characterizing a slurry in a slurry process includes a flow tube, a camera, and a computer. The system is suitable for use with an oil sands extraction slurry processed or treated by an oil sands extraction slurry process. The slurry is diverted from the slurry process into the flow tube. The camera images the slurry as it flows through a transparent portion of the flow tube to produce a digital image of the slurry. The computer analyzes the digital image to determine a slurry characteristic. Based on the determined slurry characteristic, the computer may predict a performance metric of the slurry process and adjust an operating parameter of the slurry process to optimize the slurry process towards a target performance metric. Multiple systems may be used to continuously monitor slurry characteristics at upstream and downstream steps of the slurry process, and determine correlations between those characteristics. | 03-24-2016 |

20160125158 | IMPACTABILITY SCORING - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for creating a model that enables a health system with a population of patients to better understand its patient population by being able to track which patients are being well-managed and which patients may be in need of some type of clinical intervention are provided. The methods, systems, and computer-readable media create a model that enables a health system to assess its patient population in terms of wellness, complexity, and impactability. Wellness provides a measure of resource consumption of patients within the population, complexity measures the long-term complexity of patients within the population, and impactability provides an indication of how in-need a patient is of some type of clinical intervention. | 05-05-2016 |

20110287920 | VERTICAL AXIS CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR - A vertical separator has a bowl which is supported for rotation about a vertical axis and from beneath, providing an unobstructed inlet to the bowl. Conveyor fighting, located concentrically for independent co-rotation within the bowl, directs solids to the bottom of the bowl while the liquids flow along an annular clearance along the bowl wall to an upper end of the bowl. A feedstream, such as drilling mud shaker solids, which may otherwise require augers or the like to feed the feedstream through a conventional horizontal centrifuge, can be received at the inlet by gravity feed and residual liquids stripped therefrom. | 11-24-2011 |

20150240603 | DRILLING SHAFT ABUTTING APPARATUS - A drilling shaft abutting apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a plate having an arcuate edge. The arcuate edge is configured to at least partially encircle a drilling shaft. The apparatus also includes a first blade mounted on the plate for pivoting movement between a first retracted position and a first fully-pivoted position. The first blade passes across the arcuate edge during movement between the first retracted position and the first fully-pivoted position. The first blade prevents items from falling down a hole at least partially occupied by the drilling shaft. The apparatus includes at least one actuator operable to selectively urge the first blade to at least one of the first retracted position and the first fully-pivoted position. | 08-27-2015 |

20150227482 | BUS AUTO-ADDRESSING SYSTEM - The invention pertains to automatically addressing devices on a network. The controller tests each address from a list of available addresses. If the control device receives a response the corresponding address is eliminated from the list of available addresses. The control device sends an arming signal which is received by all participating devices. The devices prepare for a triggering signal. When the trigger signal is received each device waits a random amount of time. During this time each device looks for communication on the bus, if communication is detected the device quits timing and remains unaddressed, if not it sends a signal to the control device to accept the address. | 08-13-2015 |
