Abstract: An apparatus includes a first connector and a member. The first connector connects a first tubing section and a second tubing section together. The member is adapted to be moved from a retracted to an extended position to form a sealed connection between a first tubular member that is connected to the first tubing section and a second tubular member that is connected to the second tubing section. In another embodiment of the invention, an apparatus includes a first connector and a member. The first connector forms a connection between a first tubing section and the second tubing section and leaves a gap between a first end of a first tubular member that is connected to the first tubing section and a second end of a second tubular member that is connected to the second tubing section. The member is inserted into the gap to seal the first tubular member and the second tubular member together.

Abstract: A storage router having an internet protocol (IP) port for coupling to a network supporting IP packets, a fibre channel port for coupling to a fibre channel network to a plurality of storage devices, and a SCSI router having an iSCSI interface that extracts SCSI command and data information from packets received through the IP port, wherein the SCSI router passes the extracted SCSI command and data information to the fiber channel port. Some embodiments further include a session to an information-handling system. The session supports a target-only mapping (wherein a source-specified target value is replaced by a mapped target value that is then passed by the SCSI router toward a first storage device and its LUNs), or target-and-LUN mapping (wherein source-specified target and LUN information is replaced by mapped target-and LUN information such as a loop-ID and LUN combination, a WWPN and LUN combination, or a WWNN).

Abstract: A window sash is formed from a pair of one-piece injection molded sash body members having substantially the same mechanical configuration. Each sash body member has an inner, facing surface and a non-facing surface. The facing surface of each sash body member is provided with a plurality of locators of two different types, arranged about axis of anti-symmetry. The two different types of locators are complementary to one another, and so are configured to engage each other. This allows a window sash to be formed of substantially identical components that are mated together. Each sash member may be provided, on its facing surface, with a weld wall that is set back from the outer sash member edges. The window sash may be assembled after heating the weld walls and joining the two substantially identical sash members.

Abstract: An expandable device comprising a plurality of expandable cells. The cells may be bistable cells or other types of cells that are expanded from a contracted position towards an expanded position. Additionally, the cells may be combined with locking mechanisms to hold the structure in an expanded position.

Abstract: An apparatus suitable for use in a wellbore comprises an expandable bistable device. An exemplary device has a plurality of bistable cells formed into a tubular shape. Each bistable cell comprises at least two elongated members that are connected to each other at their ends. The device is stable in a first configuration and a second configuration.

Abstract: The present system and method comprises an expandable device for use in wellbores. In one embodiment, the present device comprises a plurality of slots disposed within the device. The slots define expansion compensation portions, wherein the compensation portions facilitate radial expansion of the device while concurrently maintaining essentially constant the axial length of the device. The present technique also comprises a method of forming the device in accordance therewith.

Abstract: A system that is usable with a subterranean well includes an assembly and a telemetry tool. The system includes an assembly that performs a downhole measurement. The system also includes a downhole telemetry tool to modulate a carrier stimulus that is communicated through a downhole fluid to communicate the downhole measurement uphole.

Abstract: Several embodiments of a hermetic terminal assembly are disclosed and an associated method. The terminal assembly includes a metallic body that has body a bottom portion. The bottom portion includes an interior surface, an exterior surface and at least one opening. The terminal assembly also includes a current-conducting pin extending longitudinally through the opening, and a prefabricated dielectric retainer receiving the pin and covering at least a portion of the interior surface and surrounding at least a portion of the opening. The terminal assembly includes a dielectric epoxy bonding to the body, the retainer and the pin, and providing a seal between the pin and the opening in the bottom portion through which the pin is extending. In another embodiment, the prefabricated retainer may be omitted entirely.

Abstract: This invention relates to processes for production of alkylamino glucosaminide phosphate compounds, and of disaccharide compounds, including various novel intermediates and intermediate processes. In one aspect, glycosyl halides are produced by reaction of an O-silyl glycoside with a dihalomethyl alkyl ether.
