Abstract: A shifting sleeve tieback seal system may include a body portion and a swellable material disposed about a circumference of the body portion. The swellable material is configured to expand in response to exposure to wellbore fluids. Further, the system may include an upper end ring disposed in a position axially above the swellable material, a lower end ring disposed in a position axially below the swellable material, and a sleeve disposed radially outward from the swellable material and sealed against the upper end ring and/or the lower end ring in a run-in position to isolate the swellable material from wellbore fluids. The sleeve is configured to contact a downhole feature in a setting position and contact with the downhole feature is configured to move the sleeve to expose the swellable material to wellbore fluids such that the swellable material expands to seal against a downhole tubular.

Abstract: A method of automatically orienting symmetric and asymmetric food items, such as apples for example, is provided. Individual items of food are manipulated by a programmable manipulator within the view of one or more depth imaging cameras. Digital three dimensional characterizations of the surface of the food items are generated by the depth imaging camera or cameras and are utilized by a computer connected to the depth imaging camera or cameras to locate the stem and blossom of each food item. Asymmetric food items, such as apples with dropped shoulders as well as symmetric food items can be properly oriented and processed automatically.

Abstract: A method of automatically orienting symmetric and asymmetric produce items, such as apples for example, is provided. Individual items of produce are manipulated by a programmable manipulator within the view of one or more depth imaging cameras. Digital three dimensional characterizations of the surface of the produce items are generated by the depth imaging camera or cameras and are utilized by a computer connected to the depth imaging camera or cameras to locate the stem and blossom of each produce item. Asymmetric produce items, such as apples with dropped shoulders as well as symmetric produce items can be properly oriented and processed automatically.
