Abstract: A plug delivery and pressure test tool are for delivering a plug to a wellbore or tubular and pressure testing the plug in a single trip. The tool has an uphole end and a downhole end; a sealing element; a pressure adjustment means; and a plug attachment means. The plug attachment means is configured to carry a selectively expandable plug to a desired location and selectively release the plug. The sealing element is configured to seal against an internal surface of the wellbore or tubular, thereby creating an isolated volume between the sealing element and the plug. The pressure adjustment means is configured to decrease the pressure in the isolated volume by moving fluid from the isolated volume to an upper fluid volume above the sealing element to create an underbalance in the isolated volume, thereby negatively pressure testing the plug in use.

Abstract: An online system receives information describing a set of items requested by a user and an indication via a chat interface that a particular item needs replacement. The online system generates one or more prompts configured to request a machine learned language model to identify the particular item that needs replacement and to identify one or more replacement items for the particular item. The online system receives a set of item identifiers from the machine learned language model and selects a replacement item from a database based on the set of item identifiers. The online system may also receive an order and a communication history associated with a user including a message with a request to modify the a. The online uses the machine-learning language model to map the request type to the set of API requests for updating the order to reflect the request from the user.

Abstract: A sealant assembly for sealing a conduit, the conduit carrying electrical wires, between inside and outside of an enclosure such as a railroad control box. The sealant assembly may include a plug dimensioned for an interference fit with the conduit and with a bore in a body thereof. The body of the plug may have a slot allowing one to open the bore for inserting electrical wires thereinto. A sealant such as a cure-in-place polymer mix or a cured tape may be used to fill the conduit around the electrical wires. Such a sealant assembly will help keep moisture and harmful critters such as mice, from getting into the enclosure.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing nucleic acid amplification reactions includes a thermally-conductive receptacle holder that includes multiple receptacle wells. Each well can receive a receptacle and has a through-hole extending from an inner surface of the well to an outer surface of the holder. The apparatus includes multiple optical fibers, and each optical fiber has a first end in optical communication with an associated well and a second end in optical communication with an excitation signal source and/or an emission signal detector. The first end of each optical fiber is moveable with respect to the through-hole. A cover is movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the receptacle holder, and the first end of each optical fiber moves with respect to the through-hole of the associated well as the cover moves to the open or closed position or when the cover moves into or out of contact with any receptacles within the wells.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for utilizing non-RAM memory to implement a sector emissions model. In some embodiments, a sector-centric testing architecture computes aggregate interference as a sum of contributions from LITE sectors rather than UEs. This granularity enables more accurate modeling of the interference contributions by eliminating sonic of the unrealistic, constraining assumptions about UE emissions originating from the same sector. With a sector-centric architecture, different models can be used to capture intra-sector dynamics based on selected priorities.
