Further, the cable that employs the bundle may be coupled in nature and gas proof thereby rendering the fiber optics mechanically responsive for improved accuracy in detections during use in a well application.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, a first audio segment and a first video segment each associated with a media item. Whether the first audio segment is ahead or behind the first video segment is determined based on a second audio segment and a second video segment. Responsive to determining that the first audio segment is ahead of the first video segment, one or more audio frames are added to a third audio segment. A fourth audio segment and a fourth video segment are received, each associated with the media item. Whether the fourth audio segment is ahead or behind the fourth video segment is determined. Responsive to determining that the fourth audio segment is behind the fourth video segment, one or more audio frames are removed from a fifth audio segment.

Abstract: A slickline that includes both electrically conductive and fiber optic capacity. The slickline includes a fiber optic thread or bundle of threads that may be surrounded by an electrically conductive member such as split half shells of copper elements. Further, these features may be disposed in a filler matrix so as to provide a cohesiveness the core of the slickline. So, for example, the line may be more effectively utilized in downhole applications such as coiled tubing operations, without undue concern over collapse or pinhole issues emerging in the line.

Abstract: A fiber optic thread assembly configured with a cumulative gap for mechanical responsiveness and protection from micro-bend damage. The assembly may be incorporated into a wireline or slickline cable for obtaining fiber optic readings of enhanced accuracy during an application in a well. The gap is uniquely tailored to allow for a natural reduction during deployment of the cable into the well, thereby providing the enhanced accuracy. However, the gap is also sufficient to help avoid micro-bend damage from the resulting mechanical responsiveness, which is attained upon deployment of the cable into the well.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions composed of a radiopaque agent and a cyanoacrylate monomer. These compositions cure in situ when administered to a subject and, thus, have numerous biomedical applications. The presence of the radiopaque agent allows the practitioner to visualize the compositions during and immediately after administration to the subject. The compositions are non-toxic and shelf-stable, and can be sterilized to prevent microbial growth. The compositions can be pre-mixed prior to sale and distribution, reducing the need for special training in their use.
