Voice actuation with contextual learning for intelligent machine control

An interactive voice actuated control system for a testing machine such as a tensile testing machine is described. Voice commands are passed through a user-command predictor and integrated with a graphical user interface control panel to allow hands-free operation. The user-command predictor learns operator command patterns on-line and predicts the most likely next action. It assists less experienced operators by recommending the next command, and it adds robustness to the voice command interpreter by verbally asking the operator to repeat unlikely commanded actions. The voice actuated control system applies to industrial machines whose normal operation is characterized by a nonrandom series of commands.

Elastically stretchable fabric force sensor arrays and methods of making

Force or pressure transducer arrays have elastically stretchable electrically conductive polymer threads disposed in parallel rows and columns that contact at intersections thereof a piezoresistive material which has an electrical resistivity which varies inversely with pressure or force exerted thereon to form a matrix array of force or pressure sensor elements. The threads are fixed to a single one or pair of flexible elastically stretchable substrate sheets made of thin sheets of an insulating polymer such as PVC, or for greater elasticity and conformability to irregularly-shaped objects such as human body parts, an elastically stretchable fabric such as LYCRA or SPANDEX. Elastic stretchability of the sensor arrays is optionally enhanced by disposing either or both row and column conductive threads in sinuously curved, serpentine paths rather than straight lines.

Method for calculating a distance between a well logging instrument and a formation boundary by inversion processing measurements from the logging instrument

A method is disclosed for determining a position of a wellbore with respect to layer boundaries in earth formations. The method includes projecting a trajectory of the wellbore onto an initial model of the earth formations, selecting a segment of the trajectory and calculating along the segment expected responses of a well logging instrument. Differences between the expected responses and responses measured by the instrument along the segment are determined. The model is adjusted, the expected responses are recalculated and the differences are again determined. These are repeated until the differences fall below a selected threshold. In one embodiment, the trajectory of the wellbore can be adjusted to remain within a selected distance of a selected one of the layer boundaries.
