Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically actuated valve is described. An ignition signal for a combustion engine is received. The ignition signal is filtered. A control pulse for controlling an electronically actuated valve is generated based at least on the filtered ignition signal. The electronically actuated valve may control the release of compressed gas.

Abstract: Techniques for sealing an annulus between a well tool and a tubular include moving the well tool through a wellbore in a run-in position, the well tool including a seal and a sleeve carried on the mandrel, and covering, in the run-in position, an exterior surface of the seal opposite an interior surface of the seal that faces the mandrel; landing the well tool in a tubular that includes a shoulder on an inner surface of the tubular and a seal bore on the inner surface of the tubular, the sleeve adjacent the shoulder upon landing the well tool; and receiving a force that moves a portion of the well tool further downhole to expose at least a part of the seal to the inner surface of the tubular to create a seal between an exterior surface of the well tool and the inner surface of the tubular.

Abstract: A flow control assembly can be mechanically adjusted, rotationally or translationally, inside a tubing downhole between multiple positions by an intervening tool from the surface to change resistivity to flow through the flow control assembly. The positions among which the flow control assembly can be adjusted can include a closed position, a fully open position, and positions at which fluid experiences various resistances prior to flowing to an inner area of the tubing.

Abstract: A bandage with built-in raiser includes a flexible material having a lower side; first and second flat portions of the lower side of the material having an adhesive surface; a raised portion of the lower side of the material having a non-adhesive surface; and a raiser that transitions the material from the level of the first flat portion to the level of the raised portion and then back to the level of the second flat portion, so that the non-adhesive surface is raised relative to the adhesive surface. The non-adhesive surface may include a layer of gauze, and may be raised so as to pass air between a wound and the bandage when the bandage is applied to a user.
