  • Publication number: 20180251403
    Abstract: A method for well cementing may include supplying a settable composition including a cement composition and water into a well bore, and allowing the settable composition to set to form hardened concrete. The cement composition may include a hydraulic cement and natural glass, and the hardened concrete may have a strength activity index of at least 125%. A method for making well cement may include combining hydraulic cement and natural glass to form a cement composition, and adding water to form a settable composition. The method may further include allowing the settable composition to set to form hardened concrete, wherein the hardened concrete may have a strength activity index of at least 125%. A cement composition for use in well cementing may include hydraulic cement and natural glass having a median particle size (d50) of less than 12 microns and a top particle size (dm) of less than 30 microns.

  • Patent number: 5533174
    Abstract: A font server communicates with workstations and printers, i.e., clients, on a network and provides them with font-specific information that allow them to select a licensed font and to specify how to customize the font. The font server responds to a client's printing or display requests regarding a specific font or printing or display features, such as letter height, orientation, writing mode. The font server may customize a font by remapping glyphs, rotating or scaling characters and symbols, or adding special kerning pairs or ligatures. The font server then performs all the necessary rendering calculations and manipulations using the font, and produces the bit maps or outlines required for displaying or printing the desired characters and symbols. The font server translates fonts into a format that is compatible with the client's text processing application and operating system. To minimize traffic on the network, the font server and client use name-identifiers to communicate.
