Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for inserting advertisements into content. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for insertion of an advertisement into content from an endpoint device. The content is delivered to the endpoint device with advertising signaling in the content. The method also includes comparing policy information to advertising signaling information, in the request, of a content provider providing the content, identifying a tier of service (TOS) of the endpoint device, and determining whether the advertisement can be inserted into the content. If the advertisement can be inserted into the content, the advertisement is selected according to the TOS of the endpoint device and inserted into the content.

Abstract: A game system and method for allowing a player to view a complete list of all upcoming outcomes of a game in the order to be awarded, before spending consideration to play the game.

Abstract: A well tool can include a body and at least one barrier element. The barrier element can include a pyrolytically degradable material that is positionable to block a flow of fluid across the body within a wellbore and to degrade by pyrolysis over time within the wellbore.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly that includes first and second brake pads for contacting a rotor, a brake carrier for receiving at least the first brake pad, a brake caliper arranged to slide with respect to the brake carrier, and an actuating arrangement. The actuating arrangement is configured to selectively move the brake caliper and is electrically operated.

Abstract: An expandable, hardening seal for downhole use in a wellbore includes a heat-hardening material and a heat-stable material. The heat-hardening material has a stiffness that increases after exposure to a downhole temperature and the heat-stable material has a stiffness that does not increase or increases to a lesser degree than that the heat-hardening material at the downhole temperature.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a feature descriptor for a location in an image for use in performing descriptor matching in analysing the image, the method comprising determining a set of samples characterising a location in an image by sampling scale-space data representative of the image, the scale-space data comprising data representative of the image at a plurality of length scales; and generating a feature descriptor in dependence on the determined set of samples.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cell harvesting method and device for the efficient sedimentation and retention of cells from liquid samples onto a solid support with low cell losses and low impact on cell morphology. The device has two configurations, one being for use in a centrifuge to centrifuge the sample, a second for controlled release of the liquid post centrifugation. The device includes a base to hold a solid support that receives cells on a top surface thereof that releasably holds a fluid chamber which has a first opening with a gasket surrounding the opening with that bears against a top surface of the support. An opening receives the liquid sample and the gasket defines an area into which the targeted cells deposit. A first cap closes the second opening during centrifugation.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatuses, kits, and methods of accessing a container. In a particular implementation, a container includes a housing that defines a cavity and a ladder coupled to the housing. The ladder is movable relative to the housing while the ladder is coupled to the housing. The ladder is movable relative to the housing between: a first position in which the ladder is disposed within the cavity; and a second position in which the ladder is disposed outside the cavity.

Abstract: An electronic module for controlling a motor includes a module housing including a bottom surface, walls, and an open face, a printed circuit board (PCB) arranged along a plane within the module housing; a plurality of power terminals; and a plurality of power switches mounted on the PCB to switchably connect a supply of electric power from a power source to the plurality of power terminals. The plurality of power switches includes first portions projecting outside the module housing through one of the walls along a direction substantially parallel to the plane for coupling to a plurality of wires couplable to the motor, and second portions extending substantially perpendicularly to the plane and electrically contacting the PCB.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising analyte testing on one or more types of samples.

Abstract: A flow control device for a wellbore downhole tool, the device including a float body including a dicyclopentadiene thermoset resin, wherein the float body has a density in a range from about 0.6 to about 1.0 and has a volume swelling of 1 percent or less in the presence of a formation fluid produced in the wellbore over a production period of about 2 days or more. A method of manufacturing the flow control device is also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sample processing. A device may be provided, capable of receiving the sample, and performing one or more of a sample preparation, sample assay, and detection step. The device may be capable of performing multiple assays. The device may comprise one or more modules that may be capable of performing one or more of a sample preparation, sample assay, and detection step. The device may be capable of performing the steps using a small volume of sample.

Abstract: At least a portion of a wellbore region can be sealed using a packer that includes a dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) polymeric resin. The resin can be molded onto a tubular. The DCPD packer can swell in response to being exposed to hydrocarbon fluid at a temperature greater than the glass transition temperature of the DCPD resin to seal an annular region between the tubular and the wall of the well or casing string.
