Abstract: Foldable wireless electronic devices that communicate wirelessly are provided that can attenuate the cavity modes created when the devices are folded. The electronic devices may utilize prescribed housing dimensions, ohmic contacts, and capacitive coupling to attenuate the cavity modes. There may be minimal impact on the industrial design of the devices. The radiation efficiency and VSWR of the antennas of the electronic devices may not be degraded. Also, the frequency of the cavity modes may be controlled such that the cavity modes are resonated out of frequencies of interest, and the severity and occurrence of RF energy absorption may be attenuated or eliminated. Users of the foldable wireless electronic devices may have increased satisfaction as the devices may perform better while still having desirable aesthetics and appearance.

Abstract: A fuel filter system that does not require the periodic draining of a water sump. The system includes a fuel tank for storing fuel and a fuel filter fluidly coupled to the fuel tank for separating water from the fuel. A fuel pump has a suction side and a high pressure side. The high pressure side of the fuel pump is fluidly coupled to the fuel filter for pumping fuel to the fuel filter. A water emulsifier, such as an orifice, is fluidly coupled to the fuel filter to receive water and fuel from the fuel filter and form a water-fuel emulsion. The water-fuel emulsion is supplied to any point in the system on the suction side of the fuel pump, such that the water-fuel emulsion passes through the fuel pump and fuel filter.

Abstract: A method for searching for images similar to a query image in a collection of images, using a representation of the query image in a form of a vector of characteristics allocating a weight to each of the characteristics, and including querying an inverted index matching each of the characteristics with images from the collection. The querying the inverted index includes integrating, into a list, one or more images from the collection that are matched in the inverted index with a first characteristic selected depending on the weight allocated to same in the vector representing the query image. The integrating into the list is repeated for another characteristic selected depending on the weight allocated to same in the vector representing the query image until the number of images of the collection integrated into the list reaches a target number.

Abstract: A unified document retention management system exposes a retention policy management portal to enable a user to selectively prescribe a unified retention policy to multiple productivity platforms to deploy the unified retention policy across the user selected productivity platforms. Data retention rules of the unified retention policy may define actions to be performed with respect to files that satisfy certain predefined conditions. An exemplary data retention rule prescribes a retention age threshold to files that have been tagged with a particular label. Files may be manually labeled by users and/or may be automatically labeled by the system in accordance with one or more smart label rules. The retention age threshold may be enforced for such tagged files by preventing the files from being deleted and/or modified prior to them reaching the retention age threshold. Then the files may automatically be purged from system storage upon reaching the retention age threshold.

Abstract: A method and logging tool for evaluating leakage within a wellbore. In an embodiment, a percussive hammer assembly is selectively actuated to strike the interior wall of a casing, thereby propagating a sound wave along the casing. An array of acoustic detectors are selectively recorded during short time windows based on sound propagation times from the percussive hammer assembly to each acoustic detector, thereby avoiding the need to continuously sample acoustic detectors and collecting voluminous data. A self-tuning mode may be provided to determine sound propagation times.

Abstract: Enhanced administrative tools for a unified file retention management system to enable selective activation of a data retention policy with respect to subsets of files across multiple productivity platforms. The system enables a user to selectively activate file management labels and/or file retention rules of a unified retention policy with respect to files that correspond to user defined filter parameters indicating subsets of files across user selected productivity platforms. Exemplary file management labels may prescribe a file retention period and a file purge age to files that have been tagged with a label. Files may be manually labeled by users and/or automatically labeled in accordance with smart label rules. The retention age threshold may be enforced for such tagged files by preventing the files from being deleted and/or modified during the file retention period. The files may automatically be purged from system storage upon reaching the file purge age.
