  • Patent number: 9719329
    Abstract: A buoyancy apparatus operable for connecting to a downhole tool string conveyable within a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation. The buoyancy apparatus comprises a mandrel having an axially extending bore, a first connector disposed at a first end of the mandrel and operable for connecting the buoyancy apparatus to a first portion of the downhole tool string, and a second connector disposed at a second end of the mandrel and operable for connecting the buoyancy apparatus to a second portion of the downhole tool string. A shell extends around the mandrel to define an annular space between the shell and the mandrel. A buoyant material is retained within in the annular space.

  • Publication number: 20170208133
    Abstract: The system and method described herein may identify one or more virtual desktop extensions available in a cloud computing environment and launch virtual machine instances to host the available virtual desktop extensions in the cloud. For example, a virtual desktop extension manager may receive a virtual desktop extension request from a client desktop and determine whether authentication credentials for the client desktop indicate that the client desktop has access to the requested virtual desktop extension. In response to authenticating the client desktop, the virtual desktop extension manager may then launch a virtual machine instance to host the virtual desktop extension in the cloud and provide the client desktop with information for locally controlling the virtual desktop extension remotely hosted in the cloud.

  • Patent number: 9674188
    Abstract: Techniques for authentication via a mobile device are provided. A mobile device is pre-registered for website authentication services. A user encounters a website displaying an embedded code as an image alongside a normal login process for that website. The image is identified by the mobile device, encrypted and signed by the mobile device and sent to a proxy. The proxy authenticates the code and associates it with the website. Credentials for the user are provided to the website to automatically authenticate the user for access to the website bypassing the normal login process associated with the website.

  • Patent number: 9672588
    Abstract: A computing device can present a map of a geographic region. The computing device can determine that a user operating the computing device has performed a particular action. The particular action can be, for example, a particular gesture. The computing device can determine that a distance between the user's face and the display screen of the computing device is within a threshold distance. If the user's face is within a threshold distance of the display screen, the map can be displayed in a dynamic view mode. While in the dynamic view mode, the map for the geographic region includes at least one additional map label for a feature that is located in the geographic region and navigation of the rendered map is disabled.

  • Patent number: 9644441
    Abstract: A hydraulic jar coupled between opposing first and second portions of a downhole tool string. The hydraulic jar includes a housing comprising a shoulder protruding radially inward from an internal surface of the housing, a shaft disposed within the housing, a piston fixedly positioned about the shaft and fluidly sealed against the shoulder, and a pressure relief device. The housing and the shaft move axially relative to each other and the shoulder axially interposes first and second portions of an annulus formed between the shaft and the housing. The pressure relief device controls fluid flow from the first annulus portion to the second annulus portion based on a pressure of the fluid in the first annulus portion relative to a set pressure of the pressure relief device.

  • Patent number: 9631446
    Abstract: A jarring tool operable for coupling within and generating an impact imparted to a downhole tool string. The jarring tool includes an upper housing, a lower housing, and a shaft coupled with the lower housing and extending into the upper housing. The upper housing moves axially relative to the lower housing along the shaft. The jarring tool also includes an accelerometer for detecting acceleration caused by an impact generated by movement of the upper housing away from the lower housing until corresponding impact features of the upper and lower housings collide.

  • Patent number: 9606710
    Abstract: Movement of a user interface (UI) element may be controlled through a magnet based physics model that controls movement of the UI element as if it were under a magnetic force. The magnet based physical model and other parameter settings may be configured through an evolution theory algorithm based on training data representing various device operating conditions. Runtime data may also be collected to refine the model and parameter settings.

  • Patent number: 9595665
    Abstract: In forming a top electrode for a magnetoresistive device, photoresist used in patterning the electrode is stripped using a non-reactive stripping process. Such a non-reactive stripping process uses water vapor or some other non-oxidizing gas that also passivates exposed portions the magnetoresistive device. In such magnetoresistive devices, a non-reactive spacer layer is included that helps prevent diffusion between layers in the magnetoresistive device, where the non-reactive nature of the spacer layer prevents sidewall roughness that can interfere with accurate formation of the lower portions of the magnetoresistive device.

  • Publication number: 20170063733
    Abstract: A method for performing packet reorder processing is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, at a packet receive buffer, a data packet, the packet receive buffer comprising a plurality of N-sized pages. The method also comprises storing the received data packet across a plurality of pages of the packet receive buffer. The method further comprises writing, at storage of each of the plurality of pages, a pointer to a next page in which a subsequent portion of the data packet is stored. The method also comprises transmitting the pointer to a ring buffer. The method further comprises calculating an offset to the ring based on a sequence number of the corresponding packet, and storing the pointer to a first page in the calculate offset of the ring buffer.
