  • Patent number: 11084447
    Abstract: A “universal” airbag system according to embodiments of the present disclosure provides for occupant protection in both conventional and unconventional seating orientations (rotated, reclined, and lying positions), when impacted in various directions. The universal airbag system features a seat mounted airbag which may be used with a seat-integrated seatbelt. The material may be selected, constructed, and attached such that it does not fail or tear under application-specific loading conditions, is strong enough to capture the occupant, has the elongation/expansion properties for a flexible yet stable shape with excursion limiting functionality, and is optionally inflatable.

  • Publication number: 20200140743
    Abstract: A process for reducing the permeability to water of a thief zone of a porous and permeable subterranean petroleum reservoir by injecting a dispersion of polymeric microparticles in an aqueous fluid down a well and into the thief zone, wherein the polymeric microparticles comprise crosslinked copolymer chains having structural units derived from (i) a water-soluble or water-dispersible monomer with a betaine group, (ii) a water-insoluble monomer, and, (iii) a cross-linking monomer having at least two sites of ethylenic unsaturation, and the polymeric microparticles have a transition temperature above the maximum temperature encountered in the well and at or below the maximum temperature encountered in the thief zone and, and the polymeric microparticles expand in size in the thief zone when they encounter a temperature at or greater than the transition temperature so as to reduce the permeability of the thief zone to water.

  • Publication number: 20190276729
    Abstract: A process for reducing the permeability to water of a thief zone of a porous and permeable subterranean petroleum reservoir includes injecting a composition comprising a dispersion of betainised crosslinked polymeric microparticles in an aqueous fluid down a well and into a thief zone. The betainised crosslinked polymeric microparticles have a transition temperature that is at or below the maximum temperature encountered in the thief zone and greater than the maximum temperature encountered in the well. The betainised crosslinked polymeric microparticles are solvated by water, expand in size and optionally aggregate in the thief zone when they encounter a temperature greater than the transition temperature so as to reduce the permeability of the thief zone to water.

  • Patent number: 8180659
    Abstract: An approach to identifying and measuring adherence to software development requirements is presented. A software agent provides a user with product and technical questions. In turn, the user provides product and technical answers, or attributes, which are stored in a repository. A globalization plan generator uses the product and technical attributes to generate a software development plan. In addition, a globalization verification test generator uses the globalization plan to generate a test plan and measure the success of the software product based upon the test plan.
