Abstract: A method for composing context images with user media captures contemplates selecting, at a first location, a context image associated with the first location to incorporate into captured images at a second location. The method further contemplates that the selected context images and user media captures specific to the first location are combined to create a composite image at the second location.

Abstract: The present invention is a football helmet designed to reduce the occurrence of concussions and subconcussive impacts to the brain through use of a novel exterior shape and sandwich of materials. The present invention also reduces the occurrence of neck injuries through the use of a flexible neck support that provides protection against frontal impacts without restricting a player's range of motion.

Abstract: A method of controlling a high-pressure system having an engine, and a hydraulic pump having a swashplate includes inputting a maximum discharge pressure, a maximum allowable equipment pressure, a pressure relief valve (PRV) setting, a flowrate, and a maximum positive and negative rate of change of pressure; setting a work value to full power; setting a first position of the swashplate based on flowrate; determining: (a) if a discharge pressure is greater than the PRV setting; (b) if the discharge pressure is greater than the maximum allowable equipment pressure; and (c) if a rate of change of pressure is greater than the maximum positive rate of change of pressure or the maximum negative rate of change of pressure; and upon the occurrence of any of steps (a)-(c): (d) activating a PRV in the system; (e) setting the swashplate position to neutral; and (f) reducing the power to zero.

Abstract: The present invention is a football helmet designed to reduce the occurrence of concussions and subconcussive impacts to the brain through the use of a novel system of materials and design implemented on the interior and exterior of the helmet. The helmet disclosed herein can include a new impact absorption system using cylindrical segments of viscoelastic foam with a sealed central void to absorb high energy impacts. In some aspects, the helmet disclosed herein includes a multi-layer helmet designed to absorb a wide range of potential impacts.

Abstract: A closed-loop circulating system for drilling wells has control of the flow rates in and out of the wellbore. Kicks and fluid losses are quickly controlled by adjusting the backpressure. Kick tolerance and tripping margins are eliminated by real-time determination of pore and fracture pressure. The system can incorporate a rotating BOP and can be used with underbalanced drilling.
