Abstract: A non-combustible aerosol provision device for generating an aerosol from an aerosol-generating material is provided. The device includes a chamber for receiving a consumable including aerosol-generating material to enable the non-combustible aerosol provision device to generate an aerosol from the aerosol-generating material. The device further includes an adjustment mechanism to allow a user to adjust a dimension of the chamber to allow the chamber to accommodate, one at a time, each of a plurality of consumables having different sizes.

Abstract: A backend data aggregation and customer experience (CX) systems and methods for processing very-large enterprise CX data. A columnar data store has a transform processor coupled thereto via a data communication network. The transform processor is configured to receive customer experience data from a plurality of data sources and to dynamically transform the received data into a columnar data schema format for storage in the columnar data store. A dynamic Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) is configured to dynamically map the transformed data to structured data based on metadata associated therewith and to store the structured data in the columnar data store.

Abstract: A method of performing a stimulation operation for a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore is provided. The method involves collecting pressure measurements of an isolated interval of the wellbore during injection of an injection fluid therein, generating a fracture closure from the pressure measurements, generating transmissibility based on the fracture closure and a mini fall off test of the isolated interval during the injection, obtaining fracture geometry from images of the subterranean formation about the isolated interval, and generating system permeability from the transmissibility and the fracture geometry. The method may also involve deploying a wireline stimulation tool into the wellbore, isolating an interval of the wellbore and injecting fluid into the interval with the wireline stimulation tool. The fracture geometry may be obtained by imaging the formation, and fracture geometry may be obtained from core sampling.

Abstract: A technique is provided to limit the number of vehicles required during a well project involving a plurality of well construction related procedures. The technique utilizes a modular unit, e.g. a vehicle, and a plurality of modules that may be interchanged on the modular unit according to the scheduled well procedure. A separate crane unit can be used to move the modules to and from the vehicle as required for specific phases of well construction.

Abstract: A method for displaying targeted advertisements to users of workflow software, based on information corresponding to the workflow, the related industry, and the user of the workflow software includes: receiving, from an identified user, a request to display a step in a workflow, the workflow corresponding to a given industry; determining, based on (i) the identified user, (ii) the step in the workflow, and (iii) the corresponding industry, an advertisement to be displayed in conjunction with the step in the workflow; and transmitting, to the identified user, the requested workflow step and the determined advertisement. Corresponding systems are also described.

Abstract: A method for using a workflow server to provide targeted advertisements recommended by users of workflow software includes: receiving, at a server from a user completing a workflow, information corresponding to a step in the workflow and an advertiser, the advertiser recommended by the user in connection with the step in the workflow; identifying, by the server, an advertisement corresponding to the recommended advertiser; and transmitting, from the server to a second client, a markup language page corresponding to the step in the workflow, the markup language page including the identified advertisement. Corresponding systems are also described.

Abstract: A printer that can be configured either as a dot matrix/impact printer or an inkjet printer. A printer frame mounts a carriage mechanism for reciprocally moving a head carrier. An adapter secures a printhead to the carrier; the adapter being configured to accept a predetermined type of printhead. A compensator/feeder assembly is pivotally movable between a printing position and a printer open position at which a slot for receiving a form is defined. The compensator/feeder assembly mounts a printer bar which is positioned in a confronting relationship with the printhead when the assembly is in the printing position. A compensator drive arrangement is fixed to a base and effects movement in the feeder assembly.

Abstract: A method and system for migrating a computing environment from a source computing platform to a destination computing platform. A script defines at least one software system or application stored on the source computing platform. The script is parsed by a scripting engine to resolve specific user-selectable settings of each source software system or application. Genetic data is generated to represent the resolved settings of the source software systems and/or applications. The genetic data is then selectively applied to corresponding software systems or applications stored on the destination computing platform to automatically provide similar settings thereon.
