Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a casing installation monitoring system that monitors surface equipment (that is, equipment of a rig), provides information on casing installation operations (for example, hook load, torque, RPM, and cumulative fatigue) at various times and depths, provides initial casing installation guidelines, and provides alarms before and during the casing installation operation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a computer game such as, for example, a social network game includes steps of hosting the game at a server, receiving a request from a player to play the game, enabling game play, requesting a donation from the player to continue play or to enable access to a game feature, and continuing game play or enabling access to the game feature only if the donation is received. A donation request screen may be displayed at the transition from one completed game level to a successive game level, when the game is over, or at any other time during game play. Multiple donation amounts may be specified on the donation request screen, each donation amount providing a different number of game credits. This method enables donations to be collected for a charitable entity while playing computer games. The method also raises social awareness through game play.

Abstract: A method of detecting computer security threats. A first step involves providing a reference database of selected parameters to be monitored relating to one of human behaviour when operating a computer or software behaviour during operation of a computer. A second step involves monitoring one of human behaviour or software behaviour originating from a selected computer over a time interval. A third step involves comparing the monitored behaviours to the selected parameters in the reference database and determining the presence or absence of a potential security threat from such comparison.
