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: A non-slip sandal for attaching over a shoe or boot to provide traction on slippery surfaces is described. The sandal has a soleplate, upstanding sidewalls circumscribing the periphery of the soleplate, and straps attached to the sidewalls for securing the sandal over the shoe or boot. The sandal may be equipped with replaceable studs protruding from the bottom surface of the sandal for resisting slippage on the surface underneath the sandal. The replaceable studs have threaded shafts that are received by threaded nuts, which are molded into the bottom surface of the soleplate. Alternatively, the sandal may be equipped with a replaceable layer of a synthetic foam material on the bottom of the soleplate.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for preparing a thickened cleaning composition containing sulphamic acid, according to which an aqueous suspension of a particulate smectite clay suspension is formed, which is mixed with the sulphamic acid to form a thickened aqueous solution of the acid.

Abstract: A rail and latching system for cooperation with a sliding door associated with an animal stall includes an inverted U-shaped rail on the door bottom engageable with a U-shaped door guide on the animal stall and a latch slidably and releasably engageable with the door and animal stall.

Abstract: An organophillic clay gellant which is readily dispersible in unsaturated polyester resin compositions without requiring first being dispersed in styrene to form a pregel, and the process of preparation thereof, are described.
