Abstract: In aspects, the present disclosure provides a perforating gun that includes a carrier tube, and a charge tube assembly. The carrier tube includes a bore and a groove formed along an inner surface. The charge tube assembly is disposed in the bore of the carrier tube and includes a charge tube, an alignment end plate, an insertion end plate, a retention member, shaped charges, and a detonating cord. The charge tube has a plurality of shaped charge openings, a plurality of post openings, a first end, and a second end. The alignment end plate is connected to the first end of the charge tube. The insertion end plate is connected to the second end of the charge tube. The shaped charges are disposed in each of the shaped charge openings. Each shaped charge has a post projecting out of one post opening. The detonating cord is connected to each of the projecting posts.

Abstract: A well tool (60) includes a perforating gun (108), a sealing element (130), at least one pressure sensor (150), a detector (132), a controller (152), and an anchor (134). The perforating gun (108) perforates the wellbore tubular in response to a firing signal. The sealing element (130) is connected to the perforating gun (108) and generates a pressure differential thereacross. The at least one pressure sensor (150) is associated with the sealing element (130) and detects a surface transmitted pressure signal. The detector (132) detects at least one marker (70) positioned along the wellbore (12) and which includes a perforating marker (70) associated with a perforating depth.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an automated waste collection system, the automated waste collection system in communication with a client device and a payment processor, including a vehicle device onboard a waste collection vehicle and comprising a vehicle transceiver, a first processor, and a first memory, a bin computing device mounted to a waste collection bin and comprising a bin transceiver, a second processor, and a second memory, and a geofence defined by location data. The vehicle device and said bin computing device are configured to communicate wirelessly with one another to verify, based on the geofence location data, a user account associated with a user that has requested a waste collection service.

Abstract: An apparatus for activating a wellbore tool may include a first sub, gas transfer sub, and a second sub. The first sub has an igniter that generates a flame output that ignites a power charge. The power charge generates a high pressure gas when ignited by the flame output. The gas transfer sub has a first end receiving a portion of the power charge, a longitudinal bore, and a plurality of flow passages radiating from the longitudinal bore. The flow passages provide fluid communication between the longitudinal bore and the first sub. The second sub includes a shaft having a first end connectable with the gas transfer sub.

Abstract: A perforating gun includes a charge tube disposed inside a carrier and a plurality of sets of shaped charges axially distributed along the charge tube and the initiation tube. Each shaped charge of the plurality of shaped charges is supported at an opening in the charge tube. The perforating gun also includes a plurality of detonator cords. Each detonator cord of the plurality of detonator cords connects to one shaped charge in each set of shaped charges.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for optimizing page output by performing run-time reordering of the content of a page. A request for a content page is received from a client application. A page layout corresponding to the requested content page is transmitted to the client application. The page layout contains a number of placeholder elements corresponding to the content sections of the content page arranged in a particular layout. Upon receiving the page layout, the client application renders the content page to the display with the placeholder elements occupying the positions of the content sections. The content sections corresponding to the placeholder elements are generated and transmitted to the client application in an order independent of the order of rendering of the content sections. As the client application receives each content section, the corresponding placeholder element in the page layout is replaced with the content section.
