Abstract: Disclosed is a formulation comprising a copolymer comprising one or more bifunctional high refractive index first monomers comprising a high refractive index aromatic core and further comprising one or more UV- or thermally-reactive groups (A) and one or more second monomers comprising a high refractive index core and further comprising one or more groups capable of reacting to increase the solubility of the copolymer in aqueous media (B), and one or more solvents. The formulation may optionally contain additional components. Further disclosed are methods for forming optical thin films from the formulation and optical devices containing the optical thin films.

Abstract: A downhole tool includes a body defining an axial bore and one or more radial ports. The downhole tool also includes a first sleeve positioned at least partially within the body. The first sleeve is configured to block fluid communication from the axial bore through the one or more radial ports when the downhole tool is in a first position. Fluid flow is permitted from the axial bore through the one or more radial ports when the downhole tool is in a second position. The downhole tool also includes a second sleeve positioned at least partially within the body. The second sleeve is configured to block fluid communication from the axial bore through the one or more radial ports when the downhole tool is in a third position. The downhole tool also includes a seat coupled to the second sleeve. The seat is configured to receive an impediment.

Abstract: A cable clamp, modified tubular, and method for securing a cable to a tubular. The cable clamp includes a first base that is configured to be attached to the tubular by a bonding material, and a cover that is configured to be placed on the first base. At least one of the first base or the cover defines a groove extending therein, for receiving a cable through the cable clamp.
