Abstract: In an example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, may cause the processor to transmit an email message addressed to an email address associated with an image forming apparatus. Example email message may include content to be printed. Further, instructions may cause the processor to receive a confirmation email message from an email print server in response to the transmission of the email message. Example confirmation email message may include a status update mechanism. Furthermore, instructions may cause the processor to execute the status update mechanism. Example status update mechanism may fetch a print job status indicating a progress of printing the content from the email print server and display the fetched print job status in the confirmation email message.

Abstract: A technique facilitates the production of well fluid. According to an embodiment, an inflow assembly may be deployed downhole with, for example, completion equipment used in the production of well fluid. The inflow assembly comprises a first inflow control device and a second inflow control device disposed in series along a flow path routed between an exterior and an interior of the inflow assembly. As well fluid flows into an interior of the inflow assembly along the flow path, the first inflow control device and the second inflow control device perform different tasks with respect to controlling fluid flow. The different tasks may be selected to, for example, facilitate production of well fluid while protecting the completion equipment.

Abstract: A technique facilitates improved control over inflowing fluids with respect to, for example, a screen assembly or screen assemblies of a tubing string deployed in a wellbore. The improved control may be provided by at least one inflow control device comprising a housing defining a chamber having a first end and a second end through which fluid may flow. Additionally, the inflow control device comprises at least one inlet passage disposed at the first end and having a contour which provides a desired effect on the inflowing fluid according to the type of fluid, e.g. according to the viscosity of the fluid. The contour may comprise an expanding cross-sectional area, e.g. a cone or other expanding shape. In some embodiments, the entrance of the inlet passage may have a rounded edge to, for example, create an initially decreasing and then increasing cross-sectional area along the inlet passage.

Abstract: Examples relating to watermarking digital content are described herein. According to one example, a digital quality of digital content received for watermarking is determined. From a library of watermark tints comprising a plurality of preformed watermark tints of predefined sizes, a watermark tint set for watermarking the digital content is retrieved, the watermark tint set comprising a plurality of watermark tints having a first size. The first size of the plurality of watermark tints is determined based on the digital quality of the digital content. The plurality of watermark tints having the first size are overlaid over the digital content to watermark the digital content.

Abstract: A technique facilitates gravel packing along a borehole. According to an embodiment, a shunt system is positioned along a sand screen system. The shunt system comprises a plurality of transport tubes and a plurality of packing tubes. A manifold is coupled to the plurality of transport tubes and to the plurality of packing tubes at a corresponding sand screen joint of the sand screen system. The manifold serves to separate a portion of the gravel slurry flowing through the plurality of transport tubes and to direct the portion into the corresponding packing tubes. Additionally, a commingler is positioned along the plurality of transport tubes at a location separate from the manifold. The commingler has an internal chamber where gravel slurry is received from uphole transport tube sections and is commingled before flowing into downhole transport tube sections.

Abstract: A power-saving method and circuit in a data processing device comprising a data buffer. Data transfer commands associated with a data source and a data destination are received at the data processing device. The data transfer commands are accumulated until an amount of data associated with the read commands is greater than a predefined threshold. When the amount of data is less than the predefined threshold and the data buffer is empty, the data buffer is signaled to enter or to maintain a power saving mode. When the amount of data is at least the predefined threshold, the data buffer is signaled to exit the power saving mode following a predetermined delay. Processing of the commands and data in respective pipelines is monitored to time exiting of the buffer from the power saving mode for arrival of the data. Power saving mode use and thus power saving are optimized.

Abstract: A power-saving method and circuit in a data processing device comprising a data buffer. Read commands associated with a data source and a data destination are received at the data processing device. The read commands are accumulated until an amount of read data associated with the read commands is greater than a predefined threshold. When the amount of read data is less than the predefined threshold and the data buffer is empty, the data buffer is signaled to enter or to maintain a sleep mode. When the amount of read data is at least the predefined threshold, the data buffer is signaled to exit the sleep mode following a preconfigured delay. Processing of the read commands and read data in respective pipelines is monitored to time exiting of the buffer from the sleep mode for arrival of the read data. Sleep mode use and thus power saving are optimized.

Abstract: A method of performing a built-in-self-test (BIST) of at least one memory element of a circuit is disclosed. In a specific example, a determination is made during running of a BIST whether one or more algorithms are to be run. If any algorithm is not designated for running, the particular algorithm is skipped and the test moves to other algorithms to be run. A BIST controller is configured to perform a group of test algorithms. Certain algorithms from the group may be checked to see if they are to be run or bypassed. A delay or skip state is desirably interposed following the inclusion of a particular algorithm and prior to the start of a next algorithm. A determination is made during the delay or skip state whether the next algorithm is to be run. The user may also have the option of running all of the algorithms if desired for performance of a particular BIST.
