  • Patent number: 10829682
    Abstract: A method for enhanced or improved oil recovery includes injecting a miscible injection fluid comprising an unfractionated hydrocarbon mixture through an injection well into a hydrocarbon bearing reservoir at a structurally higher position to initiate gravity-stable displacement and gas cap expansion processes. Residual hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir are mobilized and displaced by the miscible injection fluid to a structurally lower position within the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir adjacent a production well through which they are produced to the surface.

  • Patent number: 10699017
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to assessing dynamic security scans using runtime analysis and static code analysis. In example embodiments, a system performs static code analysis of a web application to identify reachable code and/or data entry points, where the data entry points are used to determine an attack surface size for the web application. At this stage, the system may initiate runtime monitoring for a dynamic security scan of the web application, where the runtime monitoring detects invocation of a statement at one of the data entry points. The invocation is logged as an invocation entry that comprises invocation parameters and/or code units that were executed in response to the invocation. The system may then determine an attack surface coverage of the dynamic security scan using the invocation entry and the attack surface size and/or a reachable code coverage using the invocation entry and the reachable code.

  • Publication number: 20200200297
    Abstract: A prong is configured for use with a concrete reinforcement element and includes first and second legs positioned opposite first and second sides of the prong and a bridge portion connecting distal ends the legs, where the bridge portion forms a first end of the prong. The legs extend from the bridge portion to a second end of the prong opposite the first end, and each of the legs has a proximal end at the second end of the prong. The proximal end of the first leg is bent toward the second leg, and the proximal end of the second leg is bent toward the first leg, such that the proximal ends of the legs overlap each other. Inner surfaces of the proximal ends of the legs define engagement surfaces configured to engage a tie wire, enabling the proximal ends to be connected to the tie wire.
