Abstract: A mobile device management system includes a mobile device, a locator unit, and an operation unit. The locator unit includes a transmitter and is disposed on or in the mobile device. The operation unit is configured to receive the wireless signal. The units are configured to determine a distance between the locator unit and the operation unit and to cause a notification device to perform a notification when the distance is greater than a threshold signal strength value. The mobile device can also be configured to send a wireless signal to the locator unit when the mobile device receives a call or a message. The operation unit can be used to control the mobile device. A method using the system can help a person remember to retrieve the mobile device, to know to pick up a phone call, or to control a mobile device remotely.

Abstract: An annular blowout preventer device includes a body and a static head removably connected to the body, A piston is disposed inside an opening chamber to squeeze a packer. An opening chamber head has a rib extending upward from an upper surface. The rib is received within a recess in the lower surface of the static head.

Abstract: A ram blowout preventer for sealing a well, the ram blowout preventer including a body having a cavity with a recess; a ram block configured to move inside the cavity; a top seat disposed in the recess and configured to seal the well when in contact with the ram block; a movable lock ring extending inside a groove of the body and a corresponding groove of the top seat and configured to move inside the groove of the body, along a direction substantially parallel to the well; a first seal extending inside a groove of the top seat and configured to contact the body and the top seat; and a second seal extending inside a groove of the ram block and configured to contact the ram block and the top seat. A width of the groove of the body is larger than a width of the lock ring by a predetermined value, which is larger than normal tolerances, and a distance from a centerline of the well to the first seal is larger than a distance from the centerline of the well to the second seal.

Abstract: An annular blowout preventer device includes a body having a first cavity extending from a first end to a second end, the first cavity being configured to accommodate a drill line; a static head removably connected to the first end of the body and having a second cavity that is aligned with the first cavity of the body to accommodate the drill line; a piston disposed inside the first and second cavities to define an opening chamber and a closing chamber together with the static head and the body, the piston being configured to move inside the first and second cavities to squeeze a packer for sealing the first cavity from the second cavity; and an opening chamber head disposed in the opening chamber next to the static head, the body, and the piston, the opening chamber head being configured to protect a hydraulic fluid in the opening chamber from external contamination.

Abstract: A fan docking collar for sealing between a fan housing of a fan and an enclosure wall to improve fan performance by preventing flow recirculation. The docking collar includes a pliable body that defines an opening for air flow. The body has a seal for mating with the fan housing and a rim for sealing against the enclosure wall.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for automatically positioning an interface module in a rack system are disclosed. An exemplary method includes biasing the interface module in a predetermined position. The method also includes automatically moving the interface module from the predetermined position when accessing removable blade enclosures in the rack system. The method also includes automatically returning the interface module to the predetermined position after accessing the removable blade enclosures in the rack system.

Abstract: A device that may include a server chassis and a user interface module moveably coupled to the server chassis. In some embodiments, the user interface module is configured to move to a first position that allows access to a first server component and to a second position that allows access to a second server component that is different from the first server component.
