Abstract: Gas bubble migration can be managed in liquids. In one example, a system can execute wellbore-simulation software to simulate changes in gas dissolution in a liquid over time. This may involve dividing the wellbore into segments spanning from the well surface to the downhole location, each segment spanning a respective depth increment between the well surface and the downhole location. Next, for each time, the system can determine a respective multiphase-flow regime associated with each segment of the plurality of segments based on a simulated pressure level, a simulated temperature, a simulated pipe eccentricity, and a simulated fluid velocity at the segment. The system can also determine how much of the gas is dissolved in the liquid at each segment based on the respective multiphase-flow regime at the segment. The system can display a graphical user interface representing the gas dissolution in the liquid over time.

Abstract: A jacket with openings for harness rings includes a jacket having sleeves and an interior side and an exterior side. There is a hole in a back of the jacket. A weather tight material extends from the hole away from an exterior side. The jacket has similar openings for other safety rings, which commonly include two roughly at the hips and one against the chest of the wearer. The weather tight material is can be made of an elastic material, which seals around the safety ring of the safety harness that provides a weather resistant opening. The jacket and weather tight material are made of fire resistant material in one case. This invention provides a jacket that protects the wearer from the elements and does not interfere with the safety harness.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a joint protection device that has a frame of an elastomeric material. The elastomeric material has a flash point above 500 degrees Celsius. A solid face is attached to the frame. The solid face has a first side and a second side and has a high gas permeability for an elastomer. A hardness adjustable structure is attached to the second side of the solid face. The hardness adjustable structure does not support microbiological growth. In one case, the elastomer is a silicone rubber, which meets the flame resistant or flame retardant clothing (FRC) requirements. This also makes the device flexible so that it is more comfortable to wear.

Abstract: A data communication device comprises a data input cable, a data output cable, and a selective connector. The data input cable has a first plurality of data lines arranged in a first order. The data output cable has a second plurality of data lines arranged in a second order that differs from the first order. The selective connector is configured to transmit a plurality of signals carried by the plurality of data lines in the data input cable to corresponding data lines of the data output cable.

Abstract: A telephone set includes a housing and a dialing interface operably connected to a plurality of dialing keys. The telephone set is provided with a message alert and retrieval device comprising a message key that is operably connected to the dialing interface and a light source that causes emission of a visible light from the message key. The light source is responsive to a message waiting signal generated by a call management interface, and the dialing interface generates a message retrieval control signal in response to activation of the message key.
