Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced pipe-bending are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, via a processor, a piping CAD model. One or more bends of the piping CAD model are identified. Relevant bending information for each bend of the one or more bends is calculated. The relevant bending information is aggregated as relevant bending information is calculated for each bend. The relevant information is formatted into a readable format and is provided to a pipe-bending manufacturer.

Abstract: Sealant compositions comprising: a wellbore treatment fluid; a set modifier; and, a polymeric component that inhibits release of the set modifier; wherein exposure to ionizing radiation causes degradation of the polymeric component resulting in release of the set modifier and an increase in the mechanical strength of the sealant composition.

Abstract: A method for trading an index based on a notional contract using a futures contract where the futures contract is marked to the value of the index on a daily basis rather than only on expiry of the future. In one aspect of the invention the futures contract can be further adapted to have no expiry date, and the mark-to-market used to tie the contract to the underlying market. This construction is particularly useful when trading interest rate products, where the interest rate sensitivity of the International Money Market Dates for expiry changes the nature of the hedge.

Abstract: Predefined exposure limits including an actual and a permitted maximum number of owned instrument units or that an entity is exposed are used to determine trade executability. A request for strips of financial instruments is received. A stepped graph is constructed for the financial instrument based on held positions, wherein one axis of the stepped graph represents a time period covering the strip of contracts and another axis represents a total exposure to the financial instrument. The received request is compared to the stepped graph to determine whether the permitted maximum number of investment units would be violated for one or more of the first units of time should the requested trade execute. The trade is then allowed to execute if no violation is determined, and blocked otherwise.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods useful for isolating a portion of a wellbore. In one embodiment, a method includes preparing a sealant composition containing a set modifier component. The sealant composition is placed into the wellbore and is subjected to ionizing radiation that alters the set modifier component, triggering the thickening of the sealant composition.

Abstract: The present invention includes compositions relating to the setting of fluids or slurries in a wellbore. In one embodiment, a sealant composition having a fluid component and a polymeric additive component can be subjected to ionizing radiation. The ionizing radiation can cause bonding between polymeric additive components and create a polymer matrix within the sealant composition that increases the mechanical strength of the sealant composition.

Abstract: A cementitious armor panel assembly including cementitious armor panel with ballistic and blast resistant properties attached to a frame structure to produce a protective structure. The cementitious armor panels have a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of an inorganic cement binder, an inorganic mineral filler having a particle size of about 150-450 microns, a pozzolanic mineral filler, a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer self-leveling agent, and water. The mixture may also contain alkanolamine, and acid or acid salt. Prior to curing, the continuous phase is reinforced with fiber uniformly distributed in the continuous phase before it is cured to form the panel. The panel may be reinforced with a skin attached to at least one surface of the panel.

Abstract: A cementitious panel with ballistic and blast resistant properties having a core layer of ultra-high compressive strength composite and at least one skin layer. The panels can also be used in walls, ceiling and flooring panels which require high compressive strength for resistance to earthquakes and surfaces resistant to surface abuse such as in prison and other institutions. The panel core layer has a continuous cementitious phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture, in the absence of silica flour, of inorganic cement binder, inorganic mineral filler having a particle size of about 150-450 microns, a pozzolanic mineral filler, polycarboxylate based superplasticizer, alkanolamine and acid or alkali metal acid salt; and water. The mixture may be uniformly reinforced with fiber added before curing. The cementitious core layer is then reinforced with the skin, such as fiber reinforced polymer, attached to at least one panel surface.
