  • Patent number: 10030470
    Abstract: A secondary cementing apparatus includes a drill string, a coupling coupled to a distal end of the drill string, and a tool coupled to a distal end of the coupling, the tool having a distal portion offset from a central axis of the drill string, and the coupling configured to allow selective rotation of the tool with respect to the drill string. A method for plugging a hole includes rotating a drill string about a central axis of the drill string, wherein a distal end of the drill string is coupled to a tool, the tool having an offset distal portion from a central axis of the drill string; and flowing a fluid down the drill string and out of the offset distal portion of the tool as the drill string is rotated.

  • Publication number: 20120005291
    Abstract: A system that allows senders to manage electronic messaging content at the point of origin integrates with the client application being used to prepare the message for sending. A send request is intercepted inside the client and a series of message analysis steps is performed that analyze the sender, recipient, message, any attachments to the message, and/or related content and information. The output of the message analysis steps is made available for use with rules that specify the performance of a number of actions. The content analysis steps and the actions taken may be determined by the sender or may be centrally managed and determined by an organization.

  • Publication number: 20080159585
    Abstract: A system for categorizing electronic messages is based on analysis of images within them. Information is extracted about potential text areas in an image and represented as a series of bounding polygons that circumscribe the text-containing regions of the image. Descriptive information and statistics are extracted from the set of bounding polygons and a set of textual representations suitable for pattern matching or Bayesian analysis is produced. The derived categorization may be used to drive classification-based engines. In an electronic message classifier, the classifier derives information from at least one textual token for use in making a probabilistic classification of the electronic message.

  • Patent number: 5311952
    Abstract: A downhole adjustable orienting sub is included in a directional drilling tool string that is run into the borehole on coiled tubing. The bent housing of the tool string defines a bend angle and a bend point, and the bend point is oriented about the center of the bore by operating the orienting sub. The level of the reactive torque applied to the bent housing as the bit drills on bottom is controlled by selecting the amount of the weight of the coiled tubing that is applied to the bit. The orienting sub can be indexed downhole to provide different orientations of the bend point by temporarily reducing and then increasing the mud flow rate.
