  • De-Duplication of Configuration Items Related to a Managed Network
    Publication number: 20190266268
    Abstract: A system may include a database containing representations of configuration items associated with a managed network that is managed by a remote network management platform. The system may also contain a server device that may be configured to determine a set of duplicate representations of a particular configuration item of the configuration items. The configuration items may relate to computing devices and software applications disposed within the managed network. The server device may be further configured to generate a master representation from the set of duplicate configuration items. The server device may replace, in the database, the set of duplicate representations with the master representation.

  • Systems and Methods for Opening Screen Joints
    Publication number: 20190257177
    Abstract: Example systems and methods are described that operate to open screen joints using mechanically-generated perforations for beginning fluid production. In an example system, a screen joint is deployed in a production tubing within a wellbore. The screen joint includes a screen element and a blank housing that are coupled to an exterior surface of a non]perforated base pipe. Further, the screen joint includes a locator profile positioned along an interior surface of the non]perforated base pipe. A perforator is deployed within the screen joint that includes a mechanical perforator and a locator for engaging with the locator profile to position the mechanical perforator under the blank housing.

  • Target with splatter pack
    Patent number: 10386161
    Abstract: A target system has a splatter pack attached to a target panel. The splatter pack acts as a receptacle for a fluid that provides visual confirmation that the target has been hit as the pack bursts upon impact by a projectile. The splatter pack is formed by an array of chambers that are arranged in a staggered pattern. As the pack bursts, the fluid explodes out and leaves a splatter pattern on or about the target panel. The burst and residual splatter allow the marksman to see whether or not an accurate shot was delivered without having to closely examine the target. The splatter pack is removably secured to the target panel by one or more fasteners. Each one of the chambers in the interior portion of the splatter pack are intersected by at least one of the channels that are formed between adjacent chambers.

  • KINETIC MAGAZINE LOADER
    Publication number: 20190170464
    Abstract: An apparatus for loading cartridges into a magazine comprises a setting mechanism including a sleeve, a body, a setting tool, and a link. The body may be slidingly disposed about the sleeve so that the body and the sleeve can slide relative to one another along a sliding axis. The body may translate between an upper position and a lower position along the sliding axis. A first end of the setting tool may be pivotally coupled to the sleeve for relative rotation between the setting tool and the sleeve about a forward axis. The setting tool rotates about the forward axis as the body translates between the upper position and the lower position.
