Abstract: A system and method for obtaining real time down hole flow measurements and proppant concentrations between perforations and/or perforation clusters during hydraulic fracturing in multistage stimulated wells.

Abstract: A modular sensor system using electro acoustic technology to measure downhole properties, such as flow rate, density and fluid fraction of oil in a production string, is described. Modular sensor assemblies inside a wellbore collect various local fluid parameters at each location. The local fluid parameters are combined to determine the downhole properties.

Abstract: The quick release tool includes a U-shaped body which presents a base that has a first side and a second side. The body also has a pair of legs that are spaced laterally from one another and extend away from the first side of the base to respective distal ends. Each of the distal ends presents a pair of ledges that are spaced longitudinally from one another to receive fingers on the locker of the quick connector assembly. The base of the U-shaped body presents a living hinge which is spaced laterally between the legs for pivoting the distal ends of the legs away from one another in response to the application of a force onto the second side of the base, thereby allowing the locker to be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for reducing expression of an AGPAT5 mRNA and protein in an animal. Also provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for reducing lipids, insulin resistance and/or glucose in an animal. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to treat, prevent, delay, or ameliorate a cardiometabolic disease, disorder or condition, or a physiological marker thereof, in an individual in need.

Abstract: A system and process is provided for creating accurate and precise bone cuts with a tool, while maintaining the stability and mechanical integrity of the tool during bone cutting. In some instances, the tool is minimally invasive, where the use of a minimally invasive tool reduces the risk of injuring surrounding soft tissues and provides greater access to portions of the bony anatomy through a smaller surgical incision.

Abstract: A multifunctional end cap assembly for use in terminating the toe end of subsurface coiled tubing strings that include multiple sensors. The assembly includes provisions for turnarounds for DTS or DAS systems as well as provisions for connecting formation pressures with a pressure transducer within the coiled tubing string.

Abstract: A quick connector assembly for quickly connecting and establishing fluid communication between a male end form having a bead and a tube. The quick connector assembly includes a housing having a stem portion for receiving the hose and a female receiving portion for receiving the male end form. The quick connector includes a locker which is moveable between a non-engaged position for allowing the male end form to be inserted into or withdrawn from the quick connector assembly and an engaged position for trapping the male end form in the quick connector assembly. The locker includes a pair of outside legs, each having a notch, and the housing includes a pair of windows for receiving the notches when the locker is in the engaged position. The locker cannot be moved back to the non-engaged position until the outside legs are pulled outwardly, thereby disengaging the notches from the windows.

Abstract: Context data processing is described herein. One or more contexts are selected. Each context includes one or more attributes, and a plurality of data objects that satisfy the attributes. A list of data objects contained in the selected contexts is displayed. At least some of the data objects in the selected contexts are processed. Such processing may involve generating claim trees, citation trees, and data object families, which may be displayed using hyperbolic trees. In an embodiment, the contexts are groups. In other embodiment, the contexts are each associated with a data object type. In this latter embodiment, the contexts include data objects of their respective data object types.

Abstract: Apparatii to facilitate texting to both textable and non-textable telephone numbers may include a user interface module, a destination verification module, a destination selection module and a routing module. The user interface module may render a map or a list on an electronic display that includes contact information for one or more entities. The destination verification module may use the contact information to access a texting registry to determine if an entity has a texting address. In response to determining that a texting address is available for an entity, the user interface module may display a textable indicator proximate to contact information for the entity. Similarly, information from a destination field of a text message may be used to retrieve a texting address from the texting registry and route the email message to the texting address. Methods corresponding to the apparatii are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A semiconductor package having a die having a plurality of electrically continuous die wire bonding sites includes a first die wire bonding site and a second die wire bonding site. The package includes a substrate having a plurality of electrically continuous substrate wire bonding sites including a first substrate wire bonding site and a second substrate wire bonding site. A first bondwire is connected between the first die wire bonding site and the first substrate wire bonding site and a second bondwire is connected between the second die wire bonding site and the second substrate wire bonding site. The first and second bondwires lie in adjacent, substantially parallel bondwire planes. The second bondwire is substantially skewed with respect to said first bondwire.

Abstract: A user is allocated a first period of limited free access to content; the user's activity during the first period is monitored; and the user is assigned to a particular cohort based on the user's activity during the first period. Each cohort prescribes one or more conditions governing additional free access by users assigned to that cohort. The user is allocated a usage allowance based on the conditions prescribed in the cohort to which the user was assigned; and the user's actual usage is enforced according to the conditions prescribed in that cohort. After a time period prescribed by that cohort, the user is given an opportunity to become a subscriber to the system. If the user does not become a subscriber then the user's usage allowance is adjusted based on conditions prescribed in that cohort.

Abstract: A quick connector assembly for quickly connecting and establishing fluid communication between a male end form having a bead and a hose or any other type of tube. The quick connector assembly includes a housing having a stem portion for receiving the hose and a female receiving portion for receiving the male end form. A plunger is disposed within the housing, and the plunger is biased in a first direction by a spring. The quick connector further includes a locker which is held in a non-engaged position until the male end form has been inserted into the housing until the bead moves the plunger in a second direction opposite of the first direction. Once the bead of the male end form clears the locker, the locker can be moved into an engaged position with the bead of the male end form being trapped between the locker and the plunger.
