Abstract: A method comprises storing first transaction data for a first transaction producing a first version of a first dataset, second transaction data for a second transaction transforming a first version of the first dataset to a second version of the first dataset, and third transaction data for a third transaction transforming the second version of the first dataset to a third version of the first dataset; storing dependency information indicating a first dependency of the third transaction on the second transaction and a second dependency of the second transaction on the first transaction; receiving a first instruction to revoke a first permission of a first user to access the second version of the first dataset; automatically revoking a certain permission of the first user to access the third version of the first dataset based on the dependency information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is used for pumping fluid at a wellhead. The apparatus has a support structure that supports a pumping assembly and removes liquid from the well site through a small diameter pipeline as a continuous flow at a constant flow rate.

Abstract: A method for pumping fluid at a wellhead is provided. The invented method will improve liquid removal by eliminating the need to transport liquid produced from a well to containment facilities using trucks or large diameter pipelines capable of accommodating periodic surges of a high volume of fluid. The danger that the liquid will freeze in cold weather is also addressed. The invention removes liquid from the well site through a small diameter pipeline as a continuous flow at a constant flow rate. An apparatus for removing liquid from the well site is also provided.

Abstract: Using constant pressure to maintain the quality of gas produced from a gathering system. In a gas gathering system where multiple producing wells are feeding a closed system, a change in flow rate/producing pressure at any single well location will have an effect on the producing quality of the other wells on the closed system if the blower/compressor is not adjusted accordingly to compensate for the change. This method automatically adjusts a control unit so that constant pressure is maintained to maintain the quality of the gas.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a gas in a group of gases produced from a reservoir and specifically relates to controlling the amount of methane gas in a group of gases produced from a reservoir

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making bowl-shaped snack food products, e.g. tortilla chips. The method features placing chip preforms in open bowl-shaped cavities and partially frying the chip preforms by filling them with hot oil from above. Additionally, the preforms are partially fried from below by immersing the lower portions of the preforms in a vat of hot oil and transporting them through the hot oil. After cooking the preforms to a desired moisture content, at which point the preforms retain their bowl shapes outside of or independent of the mold cavities, the preforms are removed from the mold cavities and subsequently cooked to completion in a secondary frying operation. The invention also features an apparatus to carry out the method.

Abstract: A unitary frame structure is disclosed as well as a method of manufacturing the same. The unitary frame structure typically includes a first beam, a second beam adjoining the first beam, and a cross member adjoining the first beam and the second beam. Significantly, each of the first beam, second beam and cross beams have a Z shaped cross-sectional structure formed by a first flange that is adjacent a substantially vertical portion further shaped with a second lip adjacent an opposite end of the first lip. This Z cross section is formed by machining a unitary pallet in a first vertical direction to form the first lip, flipping the pallet and then machining in a substantially vertical portion in the opposite second vertical direction to form the second lip on an opposite side of the substantially web section only. Placed periodically along the rib sections are stiffening elements formed during the machining operation.
