Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for remote well operation control. Methods include conducting, with a plurality of remote well operation control hosts operating on corresponding remote well logging data acquisition management systems, a well operation using a well operation system at a well, wherein the well operation system includes a carrier having disposed thereon at least one logging instrument. Methods may include establishing a first operational control relationship between the carrier and a first of the plurality of remote well operation control hosts sufficient for the first remote well operation control host to control the carrier; and establishing a second operational control relationship between a selected one of the at least one logging instrument and a second remote well operation control host different than the first, the operational control relationship sufficient for the second remote well operation control host to control the at least one logging instrument and receive logging data.

Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and method for deploying a fiber optic network. Distribution devices are used to index fibers within the system to ensure that live fibers are provided at output locations throughout the system. In an example, fibers can be indexed in multiple directions within the system. In an example, fibers can be stored and deployed form storage spools.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for reducing the concentration of extendable free and buried primers relative to amplification product in a sample. The disclosed methods and compositions can be used to reduce or eliminate index hopping in a next generation sequencing (NGS) platform.

Abstract: A gasket for placement between a base of an aircraft structure and the underside of a workpiece, such as an aircraft antenna, is disclosed. The gasket has a cured polyurethane elastomeric gel body with a multiplicity of holes therethrough. The body typically has a flat lower surface and upstanding side walls, but the top surface is non-flat. The top surface may have sloped areas or raised tabular areas or a combination. The gel body may also have a skeleton member, such as a flexible metallic screen or other woven member. When the gasket is placed between the aircraft base and the workpiece, threaded on fasteners, and the fasteners torqued down, the non-flat upper surface will flow such that, at proper torque setting, it fully coats and fully covers the underside of the workpiece and, typically, makes contact with the screen or skeleton member, which also makes contact with the upper surface of the base.

Abstract: Applicants disclose a gasket for use between a removable workpiece and a base. The gasket has a polyurethane body, is generally tabular, and on one side has a fabric skin attached thereto. On the non-skinned side, the body, typically polyurethane, is sticky to the touch.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for trimming elastomeric gasket squeeze-out from between a removable workpiece and a static base, when there is compression between the workpiece and the base. The elastomeric gasket is deformable and compression causes squeeze-out along the edge. The method comprises using a tack release agent to remove the tackiness from the elastomeric squeeze-out and, following wetting of the squeeze-out, applying a thin blade adjacent the workpiece and trimming the excess squeeze-out by moving the blade along the workpiece.

Abstract: Applicants provide a step in the assembly of a moveable workpiece to a static base, the base bearing a sticky gasket and in which a release agent is sprayed on the sticky upper surface of the sticky gasket, which release agent will render the sticky surface temporarily unsticky.

Abstract: A fixture for final finishing flange faces of a hub of a knuckle assembly includes a mounting surface, a drive arrangement and a clamping arrangement. The drive arrangement is operative for engaging and rotating the hub of the knuckle assembly relative to the remainder of the knuckle assembly. The drive arrangement includes a drive member extending along a drive axis. The drive member is rotatable about the drive axis. The clamping arrangement is carried by the mounting surface. The clamping arrangement radially surrounds the drive arrangement and is operative for clamping the fixture relative to the mounting surface. The clamping arrangement includes a housing, a piston assembly radially positioned between the housing and the drive member, and a clamping sleeve radially disposed between the piston assembly and the clamping sleeve. The piston is movable in a first direction generally parallel to the drive axis.

Abstract: A decorative article (100) comprises a first member (110) and a second member (120). The first member comprises a conformable opaque color film (117) backed by a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (115). The second member comprises a semi-rigid sheet (124) backed by a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (127), with the semi-rigid sheet having first (162) and second (164) opposed edges and a major surface contacting the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The first member extends beyond the first and second opposed edges, and at least one of the first and second opposed edges of the semi-rigid sheet is a rounded edge.

Abstract: The loader and carrier apparatus for boat and trailer includes a support framework having two side rail members with stake pocket engaging stubs and a front lower cross member, formed to lay atop and be supported only by the side and front walls of the pickup box. A front top cross member is supported above the front lower cross member. Two rear cross members extend across the pickup box between the side rail members. A guide rail is centrally attached to the rearmost cross member, and extends upward and forward to a central attachment at the front top cross member. A forward support platform is attached to the front end of the guide rail and extends horizontally forward a limited distance to provide for transition between trailer tongue supporting rollers. A first horizontal roller assembly is mounted on, and extends downward from, the trailer tongue, to engage the guide rail and forward support platform.

Abstract: An article of manufacture is disclosed for absorbing liquids, particularly body exudates such as menstrual discharges. An apertured formed film topsheet having a layer of fibers affixed to the inner surface thereof overlays an intermediate layer having a multiplicity of tapered capillaries. The apertured formed film topsheet has a specified combination of caliper, percent open area and percent of apertures having an equivalent hydraulic diameter less than or equal to 0.025 inches (0.064 cm.) which impart a stain resistant character to the topsheet.
