Abstract: A door assembly includes a first door skin, a second door skin spaced apart from the first door skin and a door operator disposed between the first door skin and the second door skin. An arm extends from the door operator. The door operator includes a motor moving the arm to move the door between a closed position and an open position and between the open position and the closed position. A current sensor generates a current signal corresponding to the current to the motor. A position sensor in communication with the door arm generates a position signal corresponding to the position of the door relative to the frame. A controller communicates with the sensor and the motor. The controller controls a motor current to the motor in response to the current signal and the position signal.

Abstract: A system and method that provides for selectively displaying accounting data that is recorded into and independently maintained in both cash basis format and accrual basis format. The dual ledger aspect of the system enables the present disclosure to eliminate the need for modifying entries when the customer switches their viewing preference from the cash basis model to the accrual basis model, or vice versa. As such, the system is able to simplify the process of retrieving accounting data in either basis which has the benefit of increasing computer functionality by reducing processing requirements and increasing signal throughput to thereby provide faster delivery of the information to the customer.

Abstract: A plunger head to measure fluid in a drug cartridge includes a transducer coupled to emit ultrasonic signals, and a power source. A controller is coupled to the transducer and the power source, and the controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the plunger head to perform operations. For example the plunger head may emit the ultrasonic signals along a length of the drug cartridge, when the plunger head is disposed in the drug cartridge, and receive the ultrasonic signals after the ultrasonic signals are reflected from a dispensing end of the drug cartridge. The plunger head may then determine when the ultrasonic signals received by the transducer have an absolute value of amplitude greater than a first threshold value, and associate a timestamp with the ultrasonic signals received that have the absolute value of amplitude greater than the first threshold value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and retrieving geospatial data in a geographic information system are provided. Geospatial data can be spatially partitioned along axes of a spherical coordinate system associated with a virtual globe or other spheroid into a plurality of discrete geospatial volumes pursuant to a hierarchical spatial partitioning scheme.

The discrete geospatial volumes can be stored as nodes in a hierarchical tree data structure. Additional methods are provided for portioning geospatial objects, such as tiles or discrete geospatial volumes, in tritree to reduce polar distortions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to creating and maintaining a separate compliance store within a domain. Files that are committed within the domain are linked to the compliance store using canonical links. Canonical links are guaranteed to be non-erasable and non-rewritable for the duration of their retention period. When using a source cluster of nodes as a primary production cluster and a target cluster of nodes as a backup cluster, file data and canonical links can be synced from the source cluster to the target cluster to maintain compliance with data retention rules. Non-canonical links can be modified as necessary to ensure snapshot consistency when failover or failback occurs between a source cluster of nodes and a target cluster of nodes.

Abstract: For a wellbore drilled in a low or subnormal pressure reservoirs, a static loss rate of drilling fluid is monitored within a limit of a drilling rate. In reaching the limit, the annulus is closed off to returns using a rotating control device, or the annulus may remain open to the atmosphere at surface. Operations may not be able to keep the annulus filled with a mud cap so pressurized mud cap drilling cannot be sustained. Instead, an initial fluid level of the mud cap is defined in the annulus. Drilling the wellbore with the mud cap then involves: pumping a sacrificial fluid through the drillstring without returns to surface through the annulus, and monitoring the initial fluid level in the annulus to detect a change. Monitoring uses downhole instrumentation to measure pressure, temperature, and gas level of the mud cap. In response to the detected change, the drilling can be further controlled, including stopping the drilling, turning off pumps, and possibly bullheading the well.
