  • Patent number: 10167696
    Abstract: A downhole tool having a throughbore is disclosed for use in a tubular located in a wellbore. The downhole tool has a sealing element configured to seal an annulus between the downhole tool and an inner wall of the tubular; at least one flow path formed in the downhole tool, wherein the flow path is configured to allow fluids in the annulus to flow past the sealing element when the sealing element is in a sealed position; and at least one valve in fluid communication with the flow path and configured to allow the fluids to flow through the flow path in a first direction while preventing the fluids from flowing through the flow path in a second direction. A guard may be installed proximate anchor elements. The guard extends radially beyond an outer diameter of the anchor elements when the anchor elements are in a retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20180332086
    Abstract: A server system sends links to content categories for display on a user device associated with a user. Each content category corresponds to a subset of content items. When a link to one of the content categories is selected, the corresponding subset of the content items is sent for display on the user device. The system selects a group of content items according to determined relevance scores for the user based on one or more relevance criteria and sends links to the content items in the group for display on the user device in a first order according to the relevance scores. The system adjusts the relevance scores of some content items in the group according to user feedback and resends links to the content items in the group for display on the user device in a second order according to the adjusted relevance scores.

  • Patent number: 10033776
    Abstract: A server system receives a first request for access to content items from a user device associated with a user. In response to the first request, links to a plurality of content categories are sent for display on the user device. The content categories include a plurality of content items. Furthermore, a first group of content items determined to be relevant to the user is identified in accordance with one or more relevance criteria. The first group of content items includes a first subset of the plurality of content items. In response to the first request, links to the first group of content items are sent for display on the user device in addition to the plurality of content categories.

  • Patent number: 9938716
    Abstract: A roof for a building comprises a ridge beam for defining an upper edge of the roof, and a first eaves beam for defining a lower edge of the roof. The roof further comprises a first panel connectable to both the ridge beam and the eaves beam, being capable of spanning the distance therebetween and extending over at least a first portion of the area of the roof. In addition, the roof comprises one or more retention structures positionable relative to the first panel and one of said beams and configured to clamp said panel against the other of said beams.

  • Patent number: 9679089
    Abstract: A method for operating a building information modeling (BIM) system is provided. The method includes at a BIM server, in response to receiving a save tri-dimensional data command from a client computing device, associatively mapping identification data in each of a building model, a hierarchical structure of building model data, and a Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) spreadsheet and storing a representation of the associative mapping of the identification data for display in at least one of the BIM server and a client computing device in electronic communication with the server over a network.

  • Patent number: 9621602
    Abstract: Physical social actions are conveniently detected, characterized, and provided to a social networking system. This improves the user experience of the social networking system by more thoroughly recording the social actions of users occurring outside a social graph. This has the effect of extending an open social graph, which typically refers to social actions taken outside the social networking system but within a computer network, to physical social actions. By providing characterized physical social actions to the social networking system, the open social graph is extended to include physical social actions.
