Further, the first monitor device comprises a first human-readable identifier and the second monitor device comprises a second human-readable identifier that is different from the first human-readable identifier.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide apparatus and techniques for providing a seal for a polished rod. One example apparatus is a stuffing box. The stuffing box generally includes: a first flange configured to surround a polished rod; a second flange configured to surround the polished rod; a seal package disposed between the first flange and the second flang, the seal package being configured to surround and connect to the polished rod; and a flexible membrane surrounding the seal package, the flexible membrane being connected to at least a portion of the seal package.

Abstract: A drill string system includes a drill bit disposed at a distal end of a drill string. A clutch is coupled with the drill bit. A mud motor is coupled to the clutch, and the mud motor is operable to receive a drilling fluid therein and transfer torque to the drill bit through the clutch. The clutch disengages upon application of a torque exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A data structure defining a presence protocol, a device, a server, a system and method to provide management of presence information as a standalone service as well as part of the instant messaging service of a communication system.

Abstract: A mobile telephone terminal provides a user with a selectable option to transfer a telephone call to an instant messaging session and to transfer an instant messaging session to a telephone call. A presence attribute indicator for a first party is displayed with an entry associated with the telephone number of the first party. A user has a selectable option for initiating instant messaging with the party. The mobile telephone provides a customized menu of selectable options for initiating communication. The menu is dependent upon received presence attribute information. A calendar application can store the content of an instant messaging dialog in an appointment record. When an application accesses a stored telephone number of a party the stored instant messaging address of that party is automatically accessed and when the application accesses a stored instant messaging address of a party, the stored telephone number of that party is automatically accessed.

Abstract: The use of ethyl gallate methyl gallate or 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate for treatment of septic shock Said compounds may also prophylactically treat septic shock via administration to a subject before the development of a fall in blood pressure.
