Abstract: A system includes a tubing head, a bushing profile, and a wear bushing. The tubing head is connected to the casing head. The bushing profile is formed by a tubing head inner surface of the tubing head. The wear bushing has a bushing external surface configured to mate with the bushing profile.

Abstract: One example method includes a pipeline for a distributed neural network. The pipeline includes a first phase that identifies intersecting identifiers across datasets of multiple clients in a privacy preserving manner. The second phase includes a distributed neural network that includes a data receiving portion at each of the clients and an orchestrator portion at an orchestrator. The data receiving portions and the orchestrator portions communicate forward and backward passes to perform training without revealing the raw training data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device that uses wave energy to convert it into electrical energy via hydraulic energy. This device is installed on marine structures with vertical walls and comprises: a free floating elementing element that exploits the vertical sea level variation due to the swell, guided by a triple rail lateral movement channeling system installed on vertical walls; a support connecting the floating elementing element to a hydraulic system of cylinders allows the conversion of mechanical energy into hydraulic energy in both directions of movement, up and down; an energy amplification system to optimize the efficiency of the device; a hydraulic power plant; pressure accumulators; an oil tank and a hydro-electric turbine that allow the conversion of hydraulic energy into electric energy.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for adjusting transliteration weights. One methods includes maintaining transliteration rules and a weight for each rule and receiving training pairs comprising a first word in a first writing system and a second word in a second writing system, where the second word is a transliteration of the first word. The method further includes processing the training pairs to determine, for each transliteration rule, one or more good weight adjustments and one or more bad weight adjustments, and for one or more of the transliteration rules, selecting a good weight adjustment for the transliteration rule that has a highest associated gain and updating the weight for the transliteration rule to reflect the selected good weight adjustment for the rule.

Abstract: A polymer composition comprises at least one thermoplastic polymer selected from the group formed by polyetherimides and polysulphones, at least one epoxy resin modified by at least one aromatic polyamine, and at least one other thermoplastic selected from the group consisting of a polyphenylene ether, a polyphenylene sulfide and an aromatic polyether. The epoxy resin is formed from at least one polyepoxide containing at least 2 epoxy groups in its molecule and the aromatic polyamine contains at least two primary amine groups in its molecule and preferably at least one alkyl substituent containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms located alpha to one of the amino groups. The molar ratio of the polyamine to the epoxy is such that, each amino group corresponds to 1.6 to 2.6 epoxy groups.
