Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing pad includes a surface portion of a first material. The surface portion includes a plurality of grooves. A first portion of the grooves are exposed grooves located at a surface of the chemical mechanical polishing pad. A second portion of the grooves are buried grooves embedded below the surface of the chemical mechanical polishing pad, such that, during use of the chemical mechanical polishing pad, one or more of the buried grooves are exposed at the surface.

Abstract: A system for developing multiple subterranean wellbores in a land-based field can include a first operational platform disposed over a first entry point of a first subterranean wellbore at a first time. The system can also include a second operational platform disposed over a second entry point of a second subterranean wellbore at the first time, where the first entry point and the second entry point are located proximate to each other. The system can further include first field equipment disposed on the first operational platform. The system can also include a second field equipment disposed on the second operational platform. The first field equipment can be used to develop the first subterranean wellbore, and the second field equipment can be used to develop the second subterranean wellbore.

Abstract: Systems and methods to facilitate a steep final approach phase of flight of an aircraft are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for operating an aircraft during a steep approach phase of flight of the aircraft comprises operating an engine of the aircraft at an idle speed associated with the steep approach type that is lower than an idle speed associated with a non-steep approach type capable of being executed by the aircraft. The method also comprises operating an ice protection system of the aircraft during the steep approach phase of flight of the aircraft.

Abstract: Electronic test set embodiments and related methods are provided that can include a variety of safety components and/or processes which permit expandable or scalable automated testing of different types of equipment with or without installed sensitive, dangerous, vulnerable or expendable equipment. Embodiments can programmably or interface share measuring systems using expandable programmable interface systems that can scalably test a large number of components or electrical channels or bus lines. Embodiments can include multiple circuit board slot connectors adapted to receive programmable relay circuit cards that can selectively couple individual pins on ETS interface structures (e.g., cable connectors) to selected test equipment. Programmable relay circuit cards can be added to the ETS based on how many channels or bus connections are needed to interface with a system under test.
