Publication number: 20210348613Abstract: A submersible well pump has a rotatable drive shaft extending through pump stages. Each of the stages has a diffuser, an impeller and a bushing fixed for non-rotation in the diffuser. A thrust member has a lower side in sliding rotating engagement with the upward facing surface of the bushing. The bushing and the thrust member are of a harder material than the diffuser and the impeller. A drive member of a softer material than the thrust member is in engagement with the thrust member and has a drive member bore through which the shaft extends. A key extends through the shaft groove, the impeller groove and the drive member groove to cause the impeller and thrust member to rotate with the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLCInventors: Zheng Ye, Ignacio Martinez, Risa Rutter, Mark Paquette

Publication number: 20210289794Abstract: The invention comprises methods for decreasing colonization by a bacterium of a gut of a stink bug, the method comprising providing a composition comprising vanillin or an analog thereof; and delivering said composition to an egg from which the stink bug will hatch, whereby colonization by the bacterium within the gut of the stink bug hatched from the egg treated with the composition is decreased relative to a stink bug hatched from an untreated egg. In some embodiments, the decrease in colonization by the bacterium decreases the fitness of the stink bug, e.g., decreases reproductive ability, survival, rate of development, number of eggs, number of hatched eggs, adult emergence rate, body length, body width, body mass, or cuticle thickness. In some embodiments of the methods herein, the bacterial colonization-disrupting agent is an inhibitor of bacterial metabolism. In some embodiments, the bacterial colonization-disrupting agent is a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis inhibitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2019Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Ignacio MARTINEZ, Maier Steve AVENDANO AMADO, Thomas Michael MALVAR, Rama Krishna SIMHADRI, Yunlong YANG, Adam Javier MARTINEZ
