Abstract: One variation of a system for detecting and responding to touch inputs with haptic feedback includes: a magnetic element rigidly coupled to a chassis; a substrate; a touch sensor interposed between the substrate and a touch sensor surface; an inductor coupled to the substrate below the touch sensor surface and configured to magnetically couple to the magnetic element; a coupler coupling the substrate to the chassis, compliant within a vibration plane approximately parallel to the touch sensor surface, and locating the inductor approximately over the magnetic element; and a controller configured to intermittently polarize the inductor responsive to detection of a touch input on the touch sensor surface to oscillate the substrate in the vibration plane relative to the chassis.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a user interface for automation workflows for controlling through-the-bit applications. For example, a method includes communicatively coupling to a memory media of a downhole tool; and providing, via a data processing system, a user interface to enable a user to manipulate data relating to downhole operations performed by the downhole tool, and to format the memory media of the downhole tool. Different views of the user interface may enable the presentation of a pre-job surface check workflow, a depth acquisition workflow, and a data quality check workflow, among other workflows.

Abstract: A door stopper device having a base securable to the floor adjacent to the door, and a stepper plate pivotally attachable to the base. A stopper plate is pivotally attached to the base and the stepper plate, with the stopper plate having a distal end portion opposite the stepper plate. The distal end portion of the stopper plate is raised upward and is engageable with the door when the door stopper device is in an engaged position, and the distal end of the stopper plate is lowered from the engaged position to assume a disengaged position, the stopper plate is not engageable with the door when the door stopper device is in the disengaged position.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing a data signal and a clock signal has been developed. The method first generates two separate intermediate data signals. The intermediate data signals lag the input data signal. The separate durations of the two lagging signals are combined to form an output data signal that is synchronized with the system clock signal.

Abstract: A method of providing insurance coverage for a producer, the method comprising: receiving producer input data, identifying an insured value for an amount of production; and defining one or more bands of coverage for the producer based on the input data and the insured value, each band of coverage including an upper limit and a non-zero lower limit.

Abstract: There is a described a cushion element a method for producing same. Specifically, the improved cushion element includes a fastener assembly for mechanical adhesion of a trim cover to the cushion element. The fastener assembly comprises laterally spaced marginal portions which extend longitudinally along the fastener assembly. These margins are embedded in or encompassed by the foam body thereby improving the mechanical “pull-out” strength of the fastener assembly in the foam body.
