  • Publication number: 20200371852
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is for providing cross-linking between cloud-based web-applications. A consumer web-application calls a Uniform Resource Locator, URL, implemented in a customized provider webpage of a provider web-application to activate the customized provider webpage of the provider web-application via a cross link, the URL, including an URL extension with additional URL parameters to provide autonavigation to a customized specific internal view of the activated provider webpage. The customized specific internal view of the activated provider webpage is opened automatically on top of the calling web-application until the activated provider webpage is closed in response to a corresponding user command input via a user interface. The last state and context of the calling consumer web-application is kept and is used to restore automatically the original calling consumer web-application after the provider webpage of the provider web-application is closed.

  • Publication number: 20200369551
    Abstract: A method for processing glass elements is provided. The method includes introducing a perforation line for parting a glass element introduced into the glass element during or after a hot processing process at an elevated temperature of at least 100° C. Spaced-apart filamentary flaws are introduced into the glass element along the predetermined course of the perforation line by a pulsed laser beam of an ultrashort pulse laser, and, during or after the introduction of the filamentary flaws, the glass element is cooled down so as to produce a temperature gradient, which induces a mechanical stress at the filamentary flaws, whereby the breaking force required for parting the glass element along the perforation line is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20200370427
    Abstract: A flow-off telemetry system and method of communicating information from a downhole location in a borehole to a surface location while fluid circulation is off. A string is conveyed in the wellbore to define an inner bore and an annulus. During a flow-off condition, an inner bore sealing element closes the inner bore to create a first standing column of fluid in the inner bore, and an annulus sealing element closes the annulus to form a second standing column of fluid in the annulus. A bypass valve in the string at a downhole location between the first standing column of fluid and the second standing column of fluid is activated to generate a pressure pulse including information for performing an action. The pressure pulse is received at a pressure sensor at the surface location and a controller performs an action in response to the information in the pressure pulse.

  • Publication number: 20200372966
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for drift mitigation with embedded refresh are described. A memory cell may be written to and read from using write and read voltages, respectively, that are of different polarities. For example, a memory cell may be written to by applying a first write voltage and may be subsequently read from by applying a first read voltage of a first polarity. At least one additional (e.g., a second) read voltage—a setback voltage—of a second polarity may be utilized to return the memory cell to its original state. Thus the setback voltage may mitigate a shift in the voltage distribution of the cell caused by the first read voltage.
