Abstract: A method of making a reconfigurable article is disclosed. The method includes providing a powder comprising a plurality of base material particles. The method also includes providing a powder comprising a plurality of removable material particles; and forming a base article from the base material comprising a plurality of removable material particles. A method of using a reconfigurable article is also disclosed. The method includes forming a base article, the base article comprising a base material and a removable material, wherein the base article comprises a downhole tool or component. The method also includes inserting the base article into a wellbore. The method further includes performing a first operation utilizing the base article; exposing the removable material of the base article to a wellbore condition that is configured to remove the removable material and form a modified article; and performing a second operation using the article.

Abstract: A reconfigurable downhole article is disclosed. The article comprises a base material. The article also comprises a removable material disposed on or within the base material that is configured for removal from the base material in response to a wellbore condition, wherein the base material and the removable material define a base article that is configured to perform a first function, and wherein upon removal of the removable material, the base material defines a modified article that is configured to perform a second function that is different than the first function.

Abstract: Input to a transformation engine is produced, responsive to a client computer providing a data access service (DAS) computer with XML data for transformation, by creating a graph shell and XML store for the XML data, determining if the graph has a store; and, if so, requesting an empty TrAX result; requesting to fill the empty TrAX result using TrAX source, and requesting a store parser for events related to the XML store; while avoiding wrapping by the TrAX DAS of a graph shell with TrAX source, requesting by a TrAX source of a graph for one or more nodes, requesting by a graph from a store for one or more nodes, parsing of a buffer by a store, returning events from a store to a graph, building of a graph by the same graph, returning nodes from a graph to a TrAX source; and building events by a TrAX source.
