Abstract: Bacillus strains useful for preventing and/or controlling Clostridium perfringens infections and necrotic enteritis in monogastric animals, such as swine and poultry, and for improving the overall health, feed conversion rates and body weight gain of such animals, as well as compositions comprising the Bacillus strains and various methods of using the Bacillus strains in animal feed and animal feed additives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Bacillus strains which improves health and performance of production animals. The invention further relates to compositions comprising the Bacillus strains.

Abstract: The present application relates to novel subspecies of Bacillus. The novel subspecies can improve health and performance of production animals. In one embodiment the Bacillus subtilis subspecies has activity against Clostridium perfringens and/or E. coli. The present application further relates to compositions comprising one or more strains of the Bacillus subtilis subspecies and to use of the strain(s) of the Bacillus subtilis subspecies in an animal feed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for imaging and characterizing materials when performing subterranean operations are disclosed. A method for analyzing gaseous emissions from a subterranean formation comprises positioning a hyperspectral image capturing mechanism to monitor an area of interest and detecting presence of one or more materials of interest in the area of interest using the hyperspectral image. The amount of the one or more materials of interest in the area of interest is then quantified.

Abstract: A method for treatment of a cellulosic material is disclosed. More particularly, the treatment increases the digestibility of cellulosic material following microbial or biological processes.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for composite and symmetrical hybrid electronic connectors. Embodiments may include a composite electronic connector 1702 having a set of signals 2402, being divisible into multiple subconnectors 1802, each having a subset of the signals 2404/2408, a harness 204 that combines the subconnectors 1802, distribution 2508 of the set of signals 2402 to the subsets of the signals 2404/2408, a symmetrical electronic connector 208, being connectable in more than one orientation, a tongue 210 within the symmetrical connector 208 having more than one contacting surface 902/1002, each having a set of contacts 404/408, mapping 2512 of the signals 2402 to the contacts 404/408 so as to achieve a correct connection independent of the orientation of the symmetrical connector 208, a cable 106 between the composite connector 1702 and the symmetrical connector 208, and switching 2518 of a power signal 2402-5 on and off.

Abstract: Equipment and methods which may be used in conjunction with an underbalanced well completion. In a described embodiment, a valve for use in a subterranean well in conjunction with a tool conveyed through the valve in a container is provided. The valve includes a passage formed longitudinally through the valve, a closure assembly which selectively permits and prevents flow through the passage, and an engagement device which engages the container as the tool is conveyed through the passage. The closure assembly permits flow through the passage when the container is conveyed into the passage, and the closure assembly prevents flow through the passage when the container is removed from the passage. Engagement between the container and the engagement device separates the tool from the container.
