Abstract: A wellbore isolation device, comprising: a mandrel 24 having a cylindrical body, a sealing element 38 disposed about the mandrel 24 and radially expandable from a first run-in diameter to sealing engagement with the an inner surface 50 of the wellbore 6; a metal backup ring 60 disposed on the mandrel 24 contacting one side of the sealing element system 38 with an initial height H and radially expandable and axially deformable to abut the inner surface 50 of the wellbore 6; wherein the metal backup ring 60 is a concave cross-section about the mandrel 24 with an uphole leg and a downhole leg; and wherein an applied compressive force expands the sealing element system 38 into sealing engagement with the wellbore 6 and the metal backup ring 60 radially expands while axially deforming to abut the inner surface 50 of the wellbore 6 with no contact pressure.

Abstract: A device for checking gap tolerance between an adjustable portion of a brake switch and a brake pedal includes a handle and one or more probes extending from the handle. Each of the one or more probes include jaw portions defining multiple stepped regions of increasing thickness with decreasing distance from the handle and a slot extending through the multiple stepped regions. The slot is configured to be inserted between the adjustable portion of the brake switch and the brake pedal. A dimensional tolerance of the slot in at least one of the stepped regions equals a preset gap tolerance between the adjustable portion of the brake switch and the brake pedal.

Abstract: A photovoltaic cell module, a method of forming the module, a bi-layer backsheet, and a method of generating electricity are provided. The module includes a first outermost layer and a photovoltaic cell disposed on the first outermost layer. The module also includes a second outermost layer disposed on the photovoltaic cell sandwiching the photovoltaic cell between the second outermost layer and the first outermost layer. The second outermost layer is present in a coating weight of from 3 to 75 g/m2. The backsheet and the second outermost layer each independently consist essentially of a silicone. The photovoltaic cell module passes the Wet Leakage Current Test at a voltage of at least 1000 Volts using IEC 61215 after humidity cycling for 1,000 hours. The method of forming the module includes the step of assembling the first outermost layer, the photovoltaic cell, the backsheet, and the second outermost layer.
