Abstract: A technique facilitates the dependable, long-lasting use of a downhole component coupled into a drill string. In some applications, the downhole component comprises a stabilizer having a plurality of blades extending outwardly from a body, e.g. sleeve. Various features of the downhole component enhance the usefulness and dependability of the downhole component. Examples of such features comprise uniquely shaped surfaces; materials with a desired hardness, toughness, and impact strength; and/or wear protection elements incorporated into the downhole component.

Abstract: A locking ring may be adapted to be positioned between first and second components. The locking ring may include a body having a bore formed axially therethrough. A blade may be disposed on an outer radial surface of the body. At least a portion of a centerline through the blade may be oriented at an angle from about 1° to about 60° with respect to a centerline through the body. A recess, a protrusion, or both may be formed in an outer axial surface of the body.

Abstract: A process for preparing a beanless flavor soymilk or okara or a combination thereof, which compares the stages of containing soybeans with deaerated water under an atmosphere of carbon dioxide for a time and a temperature effective to allow said soybeans to soak and swell; washing said soaked and swollen soybeans with water to remove oligosaccharides and ripening enzymes; grinding said washed soybeans under an at atmosphere of carbon dioxide by bubbling in carbon dioxide in a sublimated state to form a slurry; and filtering the slurry to produce raw okara and soymilk.

Abstract: Methods and computer readable media are disclosed related to installing and distributing multiple software products. Computer code necessary to install multiple, related but distinct software products is stored on the storage media and includes at least some primary code that is necessary to all software products installable from a storage medium or set of media. Installation of a specific software product includes the installation of the primary code and at least some product-specific code. Installation is performed by an installer that identifies and installs the appropriate software product based on information, such as a product key, provided by the user. The installer may use a lookup table to identify the code to install and verify that the user is entitled to the software product.
