Abstract: Implementing static loaders and savers for the transfer of local and distributed data containers to and from storage systems can be difficult because there are so many different configurations of output formats, data containers and storage systems. Described herein is an extensible componentized data transfer framework for performant and scalable authoring of data loaders and data savers. Abstracted local and distributed workflows drive selection of plug-ins that can be composed by the framework into particular local or distributed scenario loaders and savers. Reusability and code sparsity are maximized.

Abstract: In aspects of shareable devices, a shareable device implements a device sharing module that can maintain an interactive session of a user on the shareable device. The shareable device can detect that the user has moved away from the shareable device during the interactive session, and obscure personalized content associated with the user who has moved away from the shareable device. The device sharing module is implemented to detect, without user input, a user condition indicative of an intent to end or share the interactive session. The device sharing module can determine a status of an executing application associated with the interactive session of the user. The device sharing module can then end or share the interactive session based on the detected user condition and the determined status of the application.

Abstract: Angular position readings are obtained during rotation of an apparatus in a borehole, and angular rate readings are obtained over time of the rotation. The angular rate readings are adjusted based at least on the angular position readings. The angular position measurement does not require calibrated magnetometers or accelerometers to function. Additionally, a dynamic scale factor calculation for an angular rate gyroscope (ARG) allows the ARG to be used over a much wider operating range than without such a calculation. Finally, an integrated angular rate from the ARG calibrated for bias and scale factor fills in positional information between the magnetometers' zero crossings to deliver a high resolution hybrid angular position system capable of measuring precise angular position at high and irregular downhole rotation rates.
