Abstract: A tool for feeding material into a mill having a roller and forming a nip gap. The tool broadly comprises a baseplate, a guide plate, and a ram. The baseplate is configured to be positioned on the mill over the roller and forms a slot. The guide plate is configured to be positioned in the slot of the baseplate near the nip gap. The guide plate forms a chute for feeding the material into the nip gap. The ram is configured to be inserted into the chute to urge the material into the nip gap while preventing a user's fingers and other foreign objects from nearing the nip gap through the chute.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling a drilling system in a manner that reduces stick-slip by receiving a desired rotation speed v0 of the drive system to rotate the drillstring, receiving property measurements of the drilling system, and deriving therefrom a rotation speed vup of upgoing rotational waves of the drillstring associated with upgoing rotational energy in the drillstring. An actual rotation speed v of the drive system to rotate the drillstring is determined by representing energy in the drillstring as a mathematical expression containing a sum of rotational energy produced by the drive system and downgoing rotational energy caused by the upgoing rotational waves that are reflected downwardly at an upper end of the drillstring, and then optimizing the mathematical expression, which is then used for controlling the drive system to rotate the drillstring at v.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operating system (OS) discovery mode that identifies and provides access to OS and/or third-party provided features within an applicable region of a desktop. In some configurations, once the discovery mode is activated, the content displayed by the applicable region is analyzed to identify content usable by OS and/or third-party provided features. Visual cues are rendered in the applicable region near the identified content, highlighting the availability of the OS and/or third-party provided features. Users may interact with the visual cues to manipulate the underlying content or to invoke the OS and/or third-party provided features. OS and/or third-party provided features may modify content displayed by an application, launch an inline micro-experience, crop or export images, etc. While in the discovery mode, visual cues are highlighted as a discovery mouse cursor moves around the desktop.
