Abstract: A crusher includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet at opposite axial sides, an impeller positioned proximate the inlet of the housing, and a shaft connected to the impeller and extending axially through the housing between the inlet and the outlet. At least two spaced apart support structures hold the shaft in the housing, where a plurality of dynamic blades extending outwardly from the shaft are alternatingly positioned between a plurality of fixed blades extending radially inward from an inner wall of the housing.

Abstract: A method for a well intervention operation may be conducted on a wellbore having a subsurface safety valve in a tubular string therein with a wireline extending into the wellbore from a wellhead. The method may include deploying an opening sleeve tool into the wellbore; landing a top portion of the opening sleeve tool on the subsurface safety valve; forcing a gate valve of the subsurface safety valve with a tubular portion of the opening sleeve tool from a closed position to an open position; and conducting the well intervention operation.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can reduce RRC signaling messages, and various aspects can employ one or more of these sets of techniques. A first set of techniques can be employed to reduce RACH (Random Access Channel) requests from an RRC Idle State SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) of a UE in DSDS (Dual SIM Dual Standby) mode. A second set of techniques can be employed to reduce the number of RACH attempts to obtain NotBroadcasted (e.g., On Demand) SI(s) (System Information(s)) by a UE in response to a page message indicating SI modification.

Abstract: A method includes running a workover liner, having a workover liner top end, into the workover well, installing a crossover bottom end of a crossover to the workover liner top end, installing a crossover top end of the crossover to a tieback casing bottom end of a tieback casing, running the workover liner, crossover, and tieback casing into the workover well such that the workover liner is set within the production liner, the crossover is set above the liner hanger of the production liner, and the tieback casing is set within the production casing and extends to a surface location. The method further includes cementing the workover liner, crossover, and tieback casing with cement and leaving behind a shoe track. The cement holds the workover liner, crossover, and tieback casing in place within the workover well and prevents leakage of fluids out of the workover well.

Abstract: A system and method automatically orient geological core samples. The system comprises a camera, a core analyzer module, and a core sample rotation apparatus. The camera is configured to capture a reference image of a cross-section of a reference core sample from a well and to capture a sample image of a cross-section of the to-be-oriented core sample from the well. The core analyzer module comprises code executable in a hardware processor to process the sample image to substantially match the reference image, and to determine an orientation angle of the match. The core sample rotation apparatus is configured to orient the to-be-oriented core sample by the orientation angle. A method comprises steps performed during operation of the system.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to reducing RRC signalling messages. Techniques can be employed to reduce the number of Random Access Channel (RACH) attempts to obtain NotBroadcasted (e.g., On Demand System Information(s) (SIs)) by a UE in response to a paging message indicating SI modification. The UE may monitor the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) for a given duration in attempt to decode the On Demand SI(s) without initiating a RACH procedure. If the UE fails to decode the On Demand SI(s) within the given duration, the UE may initiate a RACH procedure to obtain the On Demand SI(s).

Abstract: An in-vehicle intelligent access control system and method are configured to automate access of a vehicle to an access point. Prior to approach of the vehicle to the access point, an enrollment system stores, in a database, first data identifying a non-human object in a vehicle, second data identifying the vehicle, third data identifying a human occupant of the vehicle, and fourth data identifying an itinerary of the vehicle. An access control management system receives at least the first data from the database. When the vehicle approaches the access point, the system detects the vehicle within a predetermined range of an access point, receives fifth data transmitted by the vehicle, determines a match of the fifth data with at least the first data within a prescribed tolerance, and controls the access point to allow access of the vehicle to a facility if the fifth data matches at least the first data.

Abstract: The positionable towing hitch includes a first beam supporting a movable housing assembly and a second beam assembly movable in the housing. The first beam protrudes out of the housing for mounting to a hitch receiver of a vehicle. A first beam driver assembly is coupled to the first beam to selectively extend and retract the housing with respect to the first beam in a horizontal direction. A second beam driver assembly is coupled to a second beam to selectively raise and lower the second beam with respect to the housing in a vertical direction. A ball mount bracket is fixed to the second beam for mounting a ball mount thereon to move with the second beam. The movements of the housing and the second beam facilitate positioning of the ball mount for connection to a trailer to be hitched.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are provide for managing the Open Channel for IMS command correctly the UICC to have knowledge about the specific status codes the ME received from IMS. This knowledge allows the UICC to make a smarter decision on what it attempts to do to access IMS. Accordingly, the UICC is provided with detailed information about the status codes from the IMS service to allow the UICC to make an informed decision. If the UICC does not have such knowledge, it is possible that the UICC will send potentially unwanted commands to the ME to establish access to IMS.
