  • Publication number: 20180323587
    Abstract: A splice connects a lower coiled tubing segment containing a lower power cable segment to an upper coiled tubing segment containing an upper power cable segment. The splice has a lower terminal electrically connecting together upper ends of lower power conductors. An upper terminal electrically connects together lower ends of upper power conductors. An electrical intermediate connector has an upper end that stabs into engagement with the upper electrical terminal and a lower end that stabs into engagement with the lower electrical terminal. A load supporting member surrounds the intermediate connector and joins to upper and lower ends, respectively, of the lower coiled tubing segment and the upper coiled tubing segment.

  • Publication number: 20180318184
    Abstract: A method and composition for inhibiting aged skin by topically applying to human skin a topical anti-aging composition. The method involves applying the human skin of afflicted area with an effective amount of the anti-aging composition containing chromium chloride, thiamine mononitrate, magnesium sulfate, and dmae bitartrate for a period of time sufficient to impart the appearance of aged skin. The topical composition is formulated into a pharmaceutically acceptable medium to optimize glucose uptake into the skin cells to properly replace iron production of skin cells, thereby inhibiting the appearance of aged skin.

  • Publication number: 20180202242
    Abstract: A string of coiled tubing for an electrical submersible well pump has insulated power conductors encased in an elastomeric jacket within the coiled tubing. A textured interface between the jacket and the inner side wall of the coiled tubing enhances frictional engagement between the jacket and the coiled tubing. The textured interface may be formed on the inner side wall of the coiled tubing and consist of a roughened or knurled surface. A tape may be wrapped helically around the jacket, the tape having an outer side with a textured surface in contact with the inner side wall of the coiled tubing. The textured interface may extend continuously for the length of the coiled tubing.

  • Publication number: 20180048696
    Abstract: A client device provides to a user, in an application associated with a social-networking service provided by a server system, a link to a page associated with a third-party service provider. The third-party service provider is distinct from the social-networking service. In response to user selection of the link, the page is loaded within the application. The page includes script for calling one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) of the server system. The client device calls the one or more APIs to obtain information associated with the user from the server system. The client device displays the page within the application, and uses the information associated with the user to conduct a transaction with the third-party service provider through the page.

  • Patent number: 9870713
    Abstract: Detection and prevention of unauthorized exchange of information between users of user devices is disclosed. Monitoring data associated with respective information received by the user devices from respective users may be received. Position information indicating proximity or relative positions of the devices may also be received. The monitoring data and/or the position information may be analyzed to determining whether unauthorized information exchange between users may be occurring. One or more metrics indicating a likelihood that unauthorized information exchange is occurring may be generated based on the analysis of the monitoring data and/or the position information. A generated metric may be compared to an associated threshold and preventive measures for deterring unauthorized information exchange may be identified based on a result of the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20170283460
    Abstract: The invention is directed to biological response modifiers (BRM) which may contain one or more compounds, and to methods for enhancement of an immune system with BRMs of the invention including augmenting a specific immune response either prophylactically or for treatment, as an adjuvant or vaccine when coupled with a pathogenic antigen, and for boosting an immune system generally. The invention is also directed to the reduction of an unrestrained or improper inflammatory response and/or an immune response such as to treat or prevent autoimmune diseases and disorders, and associated symptoms. Further, the invention is directed to the manufacture of BRM compounds comprising isolated serum from a mammal, and subjecting that serum to tangential flow chromatography and molecular weight cut-off dialysis to obtain one or more purified BRM compounds suitable for administration to a patient in need.
