Abstract: Techniques for rapidly delivering broadcasted live content are described. In an example, a transaction request to create placeholder non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in a token repository (106) is sent, where NFTs represent unique digital items. In response to the transaction request, an address allocated to a placeholder NFT from the plurality of placeholder NFTs in the token repository (106) is received. A notification indicating availability of the piece of live content is then transmitted to a user device (102), where the notification is indicative of the address allocated to the placeholder NFT in the token repository (106). In the meantime, a unique representation of the piece of live content is generated and populated on the token repository (106).

Abstract: A transforming bridge-to-flow-through frac plug has a mandrel, a retaining sleeve, a pair of cones, a pair of slips, a packing element, and a keeper ring. The mandrel is concentrically connected within the retaining sleeve, and is constructed of a dissolvable material such that the mandrel is dissolvable through application of a solvent in order to form a big bore flow-through frac plug if removal of the frac plug by milling is not possible. The pair of cones, pair of slips, packing element, and keeper ring are positioned on the exterior of the retaining sleeve in order to secure the frac plug in place after a setting operation, even if the mandrel is dissolved in order to form the big bore flow-through frac plug.

Abstract: A content editing recognition tool for incorporating legitimate edits and detecting any illegitimate edits to any content such as video, audio or image file. The content editing recognition tool majorly works on three components namely a source/pre-edit file, an edit record and a post-edit file. The tool applies the edits mentioned in the edit record on the source file, and then matches the edited file with the post-edit file to verify/validate the content and determine any illegitimate edits in the file to be consumed by the user. Additional features detect any false negatives while performing content validation. Also, the content editing recognition tool helps in detecting deepfakes and distinguishing between trustworthy and untrustworthy videos, photos and audio files.

Abstract: A multilateral completions assembly having selectively isolated lateral legs during hardware installation. The assembly includes a variety of isolation sleeves disposed interior of the main bore casing and adjacent corresponding pre-located windows through the casing. Thus, lateral legs may be sequentially created through the formation at each window in a manner that allows for follow-on isolation. As a result, fluid losses from newly formed legs may be avoided during completions operations. That is, as each leg is formed it may also be isolated in advance of forming of the next leg thereby enhancing the efficiency of completions operations as well as follow-on production.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for rewarding a commuter. A value of a characteristic of a commute by the commuter along a route from a first location to a second location is determined. The value of the characteristic is compared with a reference value for the characteristic for travel by the commuter along the route from the first location to the second location to determine that the determined value deviates from the reference value by more than a threshold amount. A reward to the commuter is generated in response to determining that the determined value deviates from the reference value by more than the threshold amount.

Abstract: A downhole gravel pack completion with an integrated inflow control device. The gravel pack completion with an integrated inflow control device can include a first tubular member disposed at least partially within a second tubular member. A chamber can be formed between the first tubular member and second tubular member. A screen can be connected with the second tubular member and can encircle at least a portion of the first tubular member.

The flow port and the inflow control device can be located within the chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for setting one or more packers in a well bore. A check valve is provided that controls flow of fluids into and out of an inflow control device on a base pipe in a production string. With the check valve in the closed position, a setting ball is passed through the inside of the base pipe and sealing seats in a seat sub, thereby preventing fluid from flowing out of the end of the base pipe. Increasing the pressure inside the base pipe causes the packers to set. Decreasing the pressure inside the base pipe creates a differential between the pressure inside the base pipe and the pressure of the surrounding reservoir that is sufficient to overcome the bias on the check valve and move the check valve into the open position, thereby allowing reservoir fluid to flow into the base pipe for production.
