Abstract: A method of inserting a fastener into a workpiece includes positioning the workpiece with at least two sheets of material between a die and a head of a fastening system. The workpiece has a first fastening site, a second fastening site, and a third fastening site. The second fastening site is between the first fastening site and the third fastening site. A passage of the head is aligned with the second fastening site. A bottommost surface of the head in contact with the workpiece from the first fastening site to the third fastening site. The method also includes inserting the fastener into the workpiece through the passage of the head at the second fastening site and through the sheets of material. The method also includes upsetting an end of a shank of the fastener with the die to fasten the sheets of material together.

Abstract: A thread shear based wireline adapter kit and downhole tool setting arrangement including a downhole tool having an inside diameter flow path extending therethrough after setting of the downhole tool, a wireline adapter kit disposed in the flow path, a member disposed at a downhole end of the downhole tool, the member having a threadform therein, the threadform threaded to the wireline adapter kit, the threadform shearable to release the wireline adapter kit from the downhole tool after setting leaving the flow path open. A method for setting a downhole tool including pulling a wireline adapter kit (WLAK) that is secured to a downhole tool by a threadform, loading the threadform axially to set the tool, further loading the threadform to axially shear the threadform, releasing the WLAK from the downhole tool leaving a flow path through the downhole tool.

Abstract: A method of cementing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising formulating a non-Portland base cement composition that may be suitable for long-term zonal isolation, preparing the non-Portland base cement composition, determining a density of the non-Portland base cement composition and adjusting the density as needed to within an optimized density range to form a first optimized cement composition, determining the percentage of tensile strength relative to compressive strength of the cement composition, and placing the optimized cement composition in the wellbore.

Abstract: A vehicle frame in which the transversal beams are linked to the longitudinal rails by means of a plurality of clamps joined by a high efficiency adherent substance.
