Abstract: Any container, but especially a nursing bottle formed of a container, incorporating a unique nipple, where the flow can be infinitely adjusted by turning the bottle on it's longitudinal axis, and which flows freely, without any negative pressure within the container, at all times, simulating normal physiological feeding pressures, without leaking. The nursing bottle may have a cylindrical shape or other configuration. The nipple uniquely utilizes a venting mechanism that provides a pathway for air entrained from the threads of the bottle to proceed to the interior of the container without liquid leaking from the bottle. No additional parts are needed, and any existing traditional container may be utilized, which reduces cost, cleaning steps, and the time needed to feed and clean up.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for sealing perforations or cracks found in an oil well casing. The apparatus includes a hydraulic cylinder with an oil supply section at one end and a rod at another end, a cylindrical liner at least a portion of which is a malleable metal and a receiver; and a frusto-conical wedge being disposed at a lower end of the liner and fixedly connected to the rod. The method includes lowering the apparatus into the well casing and increasing hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic cylinder sufficient to pull the frusto-conical shaped wedge into the liner providing sufficient lateral force to force sufficient liner material into the perforations or cracks of the well casing to seal the well casing wall.

Abstract: A method of sealing a well having a casing wall comprises transporting a camera into the casing wall making a visual recording by visually recording perforations, microfractures or other breach type damages of the wall and vertical location thereof on the wall. Selecting a vertical location for sealing the well, the vertical location being determined from the visual recording. Transporting an expandable sealing device being made of an expandable metal and a hydraulic cylinder attached to the sealing device by a shear pin into the well. Expanding the sealing device to engage the casing wall such that a gas seal is made between the sealing device and the casing wall, the sealing device being expanded through engagement by the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: Provided herein are media, systems, and methods that identify the address of a rental property from public sources (e.g., rental listings, maps, and county property records). A data mining task process may be performed, by each of a plurality of first data ingestion interfaces to a unique external property data source, to determine at least one property record depiction, each property record depiction associated with a property record. A first machine learning algorithm may be applied to the at least one rental property depiction and the at least one property record depiction from each data source to identify one or more common property records, wherein each common property record comprises a property record that refers to the rental property. A data mining task process may be performed, by a second data ingestion interface to the one or more common property records to determine the street address of the rental property.
