Abstract: In a well in a subterranean formation, treatment fluids for time-released iron control are utilized. These treatment fluids contain a time-released form of a complexing agent or reducing agent, wherein the agent forms a soluble product with iron. The time-released form prevents loss of the agent prior to delivery to the desired site and at the desired time(s). Methods for controlling iron in a well in a subterranean formation utilize these treatment fluids containing a time-released form of a complexing agent or reducing agent and these methods create soluble products when the agent interacts with the iron to control the iron from the formation and/or well.

The second geometric transform is different from the first geometric transform and configured to adjust an orientation of the second group of samples in the current picture. The picture is reconstructed, where the first group of samples is reconstructed based on the determined first geometric transform and the second group of samples is reconstructed based on the determined second geometric transform.

Abstract: Various arrangements for short-range wireless communication between audio output devices, such as true wireless earbuds, are presented herein. A first earbud of a pair of earbuds may determine that a first audio packet addressed to the first earbud from an audio source was not properly received. However, a second earbud of the pair of earbuds may properly receive the first audio packet addressed to the first earbud. The second earbud can then, directly to the first earbud, transmit a cross acknowledgement indicating that the second earbud properly received the audio packet.
