Abstract: A flow control tool having a body, a sliding sleeve, at least one activation member, a flapper insert, and a retaining member. The body has a first body end, a second body end, and a flowbore. The sliding sleeve is disposed or otherwise positioned within the flowbore. The sliding sleeve is (initially, such as during assembly or prior to running) releasably connected with the body. The sliding sleeve may be movable to a locked position. During production or flowback, the flow control tool is maintained open and in situ.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing Internet protocol (IP) to transaction capabilities part (TCAP) communications are described. The system may include one or more FSLEE applications, one or more Internet servers, one or more hypertext transport protocol HTTP clients, and a FSL IP gateway, in communication with the FSLEE applications, the Internet servers and the HTTP clients, that comprises instructions for operating in a HTTP mode or in a Stream mode that enable communications between the FSLEE application and the HTTP clients or Internet servers, respectively.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for dewatering rubber crumb in which a slurry of rubber crumb and fines overflowed from a feed tank onto a curved screen for dewatering is subjected to a change in direction away from the screen by a fixed baffle in the feed path upstream of the screen and is then redirected by a second, adjustable baffle onto the screen with the second, adjustable baffle also determining the spacing between the screen and the second baffle and thereby restricting flow from the curved screen onto a coated chute which delivers partially dewatered rubber crumb from the apparatus.
