Abstract: A plug for delivering to a bottom end of a tubular in a wellbore and method of use. The plug includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end engageable to a landing member in an interior of the tubular uphole of the bottom end. A bore extends through the body from the first end to the second end. A rupture disk that breaks above a rupture threshold pressure is on an outer diameter of the body. The plug is run into the tubular and engaged to the landing member. A hydraulic pressure is applied in the tubular to rupture the rupture disk to form an inlet to the plug. Fluid is delivered to the bottom end of the tubular via the inlet of the plug.

Abstract: A container for the transport and/or the storage of objects is described. A container of this type features a detection device for determining information on the occupancy status and/or the filling status of the container. The detection device is capable of detecting different light intensities in the region of the inner container wall and of generating corresponding sensor signals. Furthermore, an interface is provided for producing a connection with a signal processing unit, in which image information on the filling status and/or occupancy status of the container can be generated based on the sensor signals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining contents of a conduit containing at least one fluid is described. The conduit may be at least partially defined by at least one wall portion. The wall portion may be cooled. After cooling said, the temperature at least one temperature sensor located adjacent to the wall portion may be measured. A characteristic of said contents is determined based on said measured temperature at the or each temperature sensor.

Abstract: A method and system for event publication and subscription with an event channel from user level and kernel level are disclosed. The system comprises an event channel. The event channel includes an event queue for an event sent by a publisher. Additionally, the event channel has a plurality of subscriber-based queues each corresponding to a subscriber. If the corresponding subscriber has subscribed to receive delivery of the event, the subscriber-based queue includes the event. Moreover, the event channel further comprises a dispatcher for dispatching based on filtering criteria the event to the subscriber-based queue if the corresponding subscriber has subscribed to receive delivery of the event, and a delivery mechanism for delivering the event from the subscriber-based queue to the corresponding subscriber. The publisher can be a user level publisher or a kernel level publisher. The subscriber can be a user level subscriber or a kernel level subscriber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new primer for pretreating glass in readiness for waterproof bonding to other substrates. The primer contains resins, functional silanes, solvents, and organosilazanes and, if desired, polyfunctional isocyanates and other additives. Compared with conventional primers, the resistance of the bond to hydrolysis is significantly improved.

Abstract: An embroidery machine having a plurality of embroidery bars, particularly needle and piercer bars, which are mounted for axial displacement independently of each other and arranged in at least one row alongside of each other, which bars can be coupled individually with a reciprocating drive element in accordance with a program determined by a control. In order to be able to couple each individual embroidery bar with the drive element in accordance with any desired unlimited number of programs without having to stop the drive in order to change the program, each individual embroidery bar can be coupled with the drive element by the force of at least one magnet.
