Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus for acquiring physical properties of a fluid sample at high temperatures and pressures. The apparatus comprises a sample manifold, one or more pressure intensifiers to push or pull a sample through the sample manifold, and a viscosity coil to receive a part of the sample to measure a viscosity of the sample.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for downhole sampling are presented. The sampling system includes a control unit and a housing to engage a conduit. The housing at least partially encloses at least one formation sampler to collect a formation sample. The formation sampler is stored in a sampler carousel. A sampler propulsion system forces the formation sampler into the formation. The propulsion system is in communication with the control unit.

Abstract: There is provided swings for swinging and spinning and for simultaneous use by one or more individuals. The swings provide one or more seating members for one or more individuals to sit and provide a common point from which the supports of the swing are suspended for rotational spinning of the swing. The multiple seating members may be fastened together with a connector or fastened directly together to define a cross, triangular, rectangular, pentagonal, or hexagonal pattern. Some swings provide a center opening through which one or more seated individuals may place their legs during use of the swing. In addition, toddler attachments are provided for placement in the center openings of the various swings. The toddler attachments comprise a frame member having attachments to connect the toddler attachments to the supports of the swing it is placed upon. A fabric member substantially engages the edges of the frame member and the fabric member defines a recess with leg holes into which a toddler may be seated.

Abstract: A system is provided for remotely monitoring fetal status parameters. Status parameters are sampled from patient sensors and are processed and stored in a medical facility data management system. A general purpose data presentation application, such as a browser, is employed on a client side to access the data via a network, such as the Internet. Support software is called upon to format user-viewable pages and to insert data transmitted from the medical facility for remote viewing. The technique is particularly well suited to monitoring of a variety of parameters at various sampling rates for remote medical evaluation, such as in obstetrics applications.
