Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for cutting in a borehole or casing. A cutting device can include a first arm having a cutting blade, wherein the cutting blade has side cutting teeth and an axis of rotation that is substantially at a right angle with respect to an axis of the tool body. The cutting device can also include a second arm with a bumper. The first and second arms articulate away from the elongate body in different directions to reduce vibrations while cutting. A control device can automate the cut based on hydraulic pressure measurements. Additionally, the cutting device can also be extended or rotated on a rotary index. The cutting device can rotate around a J slot, in an example.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (1) includes a resonant circuit, a switch (Si), and a control circuit (CC). The resonant circuit includes an inductive charging coil (L1), a first capacitor and (C1?), and a second capacitor (C2?). The inductive charging coil (L1) is electrically connected to the first capacitor (C1?). The inductive charging coil (L1) is electrically connected to the second capacitor (C2?) when the switch (S1) is closed and electrically disconnected from the second capacitor (C2?) when the switch (Si) is open such that the resonant circuit comprises a first resonance frequency when the switch (S1) is open and a second resonance frequency when the switch (S1) is closed. The second resonance frequency is different from the first resonance frequency. The control circuit (CC) is configured to apply a frequency modulated control signal or a pulse width modulated control signal to the switch (S1) for controlling the switch (S1).

Abstract: A sensor system for a sub-sea oil and gas well includes a casing, a transmit coil, a receive coil, and a processor. The casing defines an interior space through which a drilling pipe string transits. The transmit coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to conduct a current pulse and induce an electromagnetic field within the interior space. The electromagnetic field corresponds with the current pulse and interacts with the drilling pipe string. The receive coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to detect the electromagnetic field, including perturbations of the electromagnetic field due to the drilling pipe string's interaction therewith. The processor is coupled to the transmit coil and the receive coil. The processor is configured to compute a diameter of the drilling pipe string based on the current pulse and the electromagnetic field detected by the receive coil.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that may be used to populate a content interface having several positions are provided. One method includes determining a first set of eligible content bids by comparing a performance characteristic of each content bid with a first threshold value. The method further includes conducting a first auction process on the first set of one or more eligible content bids to determine one or more first content items to be displayed in at least one position of a content interface. The method further includes determining a second set of eligible content bids by comparing a performance characteristic of each content bid with a second threshold value. The method further includes conducting a second auction process on the second set of one or more eligible content bids to determine content items to be displayed in at least one other position of the content interface.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that may be used to populate a content interface having several positions are provided. One method includes conducting at least one first auction process to select a first set of one or more winning content bids based in part on a first eligibility constraint. The first eligibility constraint includes a limitation on the number of winning bids that share a particular characteristic. The method further includes, when the number of winning content bids is less than a number of positions within the content interface, conducting at least one second auction process to select a second set of one or more winning content bids by either disabling the first eligibility constraint or applying a second eligibility constraint. The second eligibility constraint permits a larger number of winning content bids to share the particular characteristic than are permitted under the first eligibility constraint.
