Abstract: A filling method and process for a flower cartridge for use with a portable electronic heating device for the smokeless delivery of active ingredients and volatile compounds released from heating natural consumables such as plant matter is disclosed. Through grinding, vibration, and tamping, a number of cartridges are filled with natural consumables. Compressive forces applied via tamping, coupled with a constriction or obstruction within the cartridge, form a porous plug to which air flows freely but the consumables remain in place. The filling process minimizes oxidation and preserves the shelf life of the flower cartridge.

Abstract: A system and method for surface steerable drilling are provided. In one example, the method includes monitoring operating parameters for drilling rig equipment and bottom hole assembly (BHA) equipment for a BHA, where the operating parameters control the drilling rig equipment and BHA equipment. The method includes receiving current inputs corresponding to performance data of the drilling rig equipment and BHA equipment during a drilling operation and determining that an amount of change between the current inputs and corresponding previously received inputs exceeds a defined threshold. The method further includes determining whether a modification to the operating parameters has occurred that would result in the amount of change exceeding the defined threshold and identifying that a problem exists in at least one of the drilling rig equipment and BA equipment if no modification has occurred to the operating parameters. The method includes performing a defined action if a problem exists.

Abstract: Methods of operating a heating oven for use with a heat-not-burn portable heating device for the delivery of vaporized natural consumables are disclosed. The oven operates according to one or more temperature profiles for the duration of a heating session. The oven heats a flower stick filled with natural consumables to vaporize volatile compounds for the inhalation and enjoyment of the user. The oven operates by both conduction and convection via knitted wire filters that have high surface area and thermal mass to enable rapid heat transfer and stabilization of temperatures.

Abstract: A flower cartridge for use with a portable electronic heating device for the smokeless delivery of active ingredients and volatile compounds released from heating natural consumables such as plant matter is disclosed. The cartridge contains a quantity of natural consumables and a constriction or obstruction, which together form a porous plug to which air flows freely but the consumables remain in place. The contents of the cartridge are liberated via hot air and active ingredients are delivered to the user via heating and not burning. The cartridge is made of disposable and/or biodegradable materials to reduce ecological impact.

Abstract: A rolling knee support device is attached to each knee of the user for support thereof when the user is in a kneeling position. The device has four swivel caster type wheels with a threaded stem for being releasably mounted into one of eight holes defined in a double-curved lower surface of a base of the support. The four wheels can be moved and arranged such on the double-curved lower surface so that the supporting feature of the knee supporting device can be modified and customized according to the needs of the worker and/or the particular job whereby the worker is supported in the most comfortable, balanced, and efficient position and orientation for any particular job. Straps with fasteners are used to secure each rolling knee support device to each knee of the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein facilitate draft reminders. In at least one implementation, a primary view of an information management application is rendered. In various scenarios the primary view may include primary items, such as emails, events, tasks, or other types of items. When a reminder view is invoked, draft items are identified to include in the reminder view. The reminder view is then rendered in an overlaid manner with respect to the primary view and includes the draft items.

Abstract: Parsed attachments from email communications may be sorted. In some examples, an application, such as an email processing application, may display email summaries associated with emails within an email summary view of the email application interface. A selected email associated with a selected email summary may be displayed in an email view. The email processing application may identify one or more attachments within the emails. Attachment summaries associated with the one or more attachments may be displayed within an attachment summary view of the email application interface.
