Abstract: A riser system in the form of a pumped riser, i.e. a riser having an outlet from the riser at a depth below the surface of a body of water, where the outlet is coupled to a return pump to return fluid from the riser to the surface, and various operational methods to facilitate greater versatility when performing hydrocarbon drilling related operations. A sealing element to seal an annulus of the riser, and a by-pass around the sealing element. Various methods make it possible to switch between open mode and closed mode, and vice versa, monitoring leakage across the sealing element, as well as performing other operations exploiting the advantages of the two different modes.

Abstract: Technologies are described for managing metadata associated with external content. For example metadata can be obtained that describes content stored on external systems. The metadata can be obtained without locally storing the content items themselves. For example, the metadata can be retrieved from the external systems while the external content continues to be stored on the external systems. The metadata can also include indications of the actions that can be performed in relation to the external content. For example, actions can be obtained (e.g., locally determined and/or obtained from the external systems) and added to the metadata. The metadata can be stored and used locally. For example, the metadata can be used to locally perform the actions in relation to the external content. The metadata can also be used to locally initiate actions that are then carried out in the external systems.

Abstract: A microelectronic unit may include an epitaxial silicon layer having a source and a drain, a buried oxide layer beneath the epitaxial silicon layer, an ohmic contact extending through the buried oxide layer, a dielectric layer beneath the buried oxide layer, and a conductive element extending through the dielectric layer. The source and the drain may be doped portions of the epitaxial silicon layer. The ohmic contact may be coupled to a lower surface of one of the source or the drain. The conductive element may be coupled to a lower surface of the ohmic contact. A portion of the conductive element may be exposed at the second dielectric surface of the dielectric layer. The second dielectric surface may be directly bonded to an external component to form a microelectronic assembly.

Abstract: Technologies are described for managing multi-tenant identifiers (e.g., multi-tenant keys or multi-tenant database keys). Creating multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a source system identifier from a source system, determining a source identity provider of the source system, creating a multi-tenant identifier representing a combination of the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and storing the created multi-tenant identifier. Using multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a request to lookup a source system identifier, associated with a source system, in a multi-tenant identifier mapping table, determining a source identity provider of the source system, identifying an entry in the table with the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and returning a multi-tenant identifier associated with the identified entry in the table.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to methods of cross layer rate selection and related controllers and systems. A media access control scheduler can select a rate for transmitting data for a wireless terminal based on a queue stability metric and a predicted transmission rate associated with the wireless terminal. Information identifying the rate can be sent to an application server. The rate can then be used by application server to send data for the wireless terminal to an access point via an access point controller, in which the access point can wirelessly serve the wireless terminal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking location history via access control devices. Information identifying a location of the access control device is received by a user client from an access control device. An identifier of the location of the access control device, as well as a timestamp referencing a current time, are stored on the user device. A request of a user of the user device, for a list of locations visited within a specified time window, is received at the user device. Responsive to determining that the timestamp belongs to the specified time window, the identifier of the location is visually represented via a graphical user interface rendered on the user device.

Abstract: A method for restricting comment access for a document is described. A request for comment permissions to be applied to a comment within the document is received. The comment permissions exclude a target user from an access type for the comment. The comment permissions are applied to the comment, where the comment permissions are distinct from document permissions for the document. Content data of the document is generated for display on a user interface for the target user according to the document permissions. Content data of the comment is generated for display on the user interface for the target user according to the comment permissions, including restricting the target user from the access type for the comment.

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument for applying radiofrequency or microwave frequency energy to biological tissue. The instrument includes a tip with a planar body separating two conductive elements on opposite surfaces. It also includes a coaxial feed cable with an inner and outer conductor, separated by a dielectric material, for conveying a working signal. The inner conductor connects to the first conductive element, and the outer to the second, enabling the tip to receive the signal. The first conductive element has a pattern to set its electrical length greater than a reference instrument tip. The reference tip has a planar body of the same shape and dimensions, separating two conductive elements covering opposite surfaces.

Abstract: A reel for storing a backwash hose used in backwash cleanout of a filter. The reel has a hub for wound for storage of the hose, and radiating front and rear flanges for capture of the hose therebetween. A combined support and intake coupler that protrudes axially rearward from the hub, and relative to which the hub is rotatable, terminates in a pipe thread by which the combined coupler is couplable to the waste port of the filter to both fluidly connect the reel and hose thereto, and also mechanically support the reel on the filter. A built-in relief valve resides at a location of fluidically exposed relationship both to the combined coupler and to a hose coupler, such that in the event of flow blockage somewhere along the backwash hose, pressure buildup upstream of the backwash hose is operable to open said relief valve and relieve the hose pressure buildup.
