Abstract: Techniques for using additive manufacturing (AM) to fabricate creep resistant ferritic/martensitic steel with improved high temperature strength are described. AM processing may be performed on Grade 91 steel powder. Beam powers from about 221 W to about 270 W may be used. Traverse rates from about 675 mm/s to about 825 mm/s may be used. Heat inputs ranging from about 55.7 J/mm3 to about 83.2 J/mm3 may be produced. Creep resistant ferritic/martensitic steel, produced according to the present disclosure, has improved strain yield strength and ductility as compared to wrought steel.

Abstract: A shell egg pasteurization system uses radio frequency electromagnetic wave energy to heat the yolk. The radio frequency energy is applied in two stages as the shell egg is rotated and moved through the electric field. The system also has a preheating oven and a downstream albumen heating oven. The combination of heat from the ovens and the radio frequency is sufficient to achieve a 5 log kill of Salmonella Enteritidis throughout the eggs.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for detecting molecules and/or substances within a sample based on the use of a microcantilever system. The method comprises the variation of a certain condition such as humidity so as the mechanical feature analyzed varies with a characteristic pattern while the target molecule is bound to the detector. The invention also refers to the system used to carry out such method.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of printing books based on digital data, comprises accepting a plurality of orders, each order including a request for at least one copy of each of a plurality of titles. The plurality of orders form a streamlined cover set. The streamlined cover set is scanned, the detecting of each cover in the cover set causing digital printing of a book block corresponding to the detected title associated with the cover.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing enhanced proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for Virtual Internet protocol (IP) addresses. A Virtual Internet protocol (IP) interface requiring proxy ARP is identified and a proxy agent for the Virtual Internet protocol (IP) interface is dynamically selected. An IP address for the Virtual Internet protocol (IP) interface is added to an address list of a physical adapter for the selected proxy agent. Utilizing the physical adapter for the selected proxy agent, the added IP address for the Virtual Internet protocol (IP) interface is broadcast with a media access control (MAC) address of the physical adapter for the selected proxy agent.

Abstract: A system for capturing displaced fluid or pumping fluid through tubulars being run into or out of the wellbore is described. Embodiments are supported by a traveling block and top drive unit with telescoping features to rapidly seal over a tubular to connect the tubular to a mud system.

Abstract: A mudsaver valve having a large flow capacity is described to keep fluid from spilling when the apparatus is removed from the tubular. This mudsaver valve also provides for pumping of fluid into the tubular or flow of fluid from the tubular to the mud system prior to removing the apparatus from the tubular. In these embodiments, the apparatus can be placed in threaded sealing contact with the tubular and can incorporate a safety valve that can be manually closed in the event of a well kick.

Abstract: A system for capturing displaced fluid or pumping fluid through tubulars being run into or out of the wellbore is described. Embodiments are supported by a traveling block and top drive unit with telescoping features to rapidly seal over a tubular to connect the tubular to a mud system. Alternative sealing arrangements for sealing inside the tubular connection are also disclosed. These alternate sealing arrangements also provide flow areas larger than the tubular body since no portion of these arrangements enter the tubular body. All of the sealing arrangements provide a biased area whereby any internal pressure in the invention forces the seals into more intimate contact with their mating seal surfaces. A mudsaver valve having a large flow capacity is described to keep fluid from spilling when the apparatus is removed from the tubular. This mudsaver valve also provides for pumping of fluid into the tubular or flow of fluid from the tubular to the mud system prior to removing the apparatus from the tubular.

Abstract: An occupant safety apparatus comprising: a gimbaled web guide (80, 80') having a first member (90, 130) defining a belt exit slit (92) and a gimbaled support structure (94, 96, 100, 102, 130) for permitting the first member to rotate about at least two generally perpendicular axes. This support structure also permits the first member to rotate about a third axis.
