Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include an interposer. In an embodiment, the interposer comprises a substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite from the first surface. In an embodiment, a via is provided through the substrate, where a portion of the via extends past the second surface. In an embodiment, a first layer is over the substrate, where the first layer is an electrically insulating material. In an embodiment, a second layer is over the first layer and over the portion of the via that extends past the second surface.

Abstract: A magnetic debris level measuring device for a magnetic filter is disclosed. The magnetic debris level measuring device includes a magnetometer and a temperature sensor. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor is used to calculate a corrected magnetometer reading, which in turn can be used to determine the amount of captured magnetic debris held within the filter. The device has a stored threshold for the corrected magnetometer reading, and when the corrected magnetometer reading crosses the stored threshold a notification is issued that the filter is full. If it is detected that debris continues to be captured after the ‘full’ notification has been issued, the stored threshold will be updated accordingly.

Abstract: A magazine for rimmed cartridges includes a magazine tube having first left and right ribs on an inside of the magazine tube extend inward from a forward portion of opposite sidewalls and are laterally spaced by a first spacing. Second left and right ribs on an inside of the magazine tube extend inward from a rear portion of opposite sidewalls and are laterally spaced by a second spacing that is greater than the first spacing. When the magazine is filled to capacity with rimmed cartridges, cartridges in the magazine are arranged in two offset columns with projectiles of the rimmed cartridges laterally spaced from a median plane by a first distance and rims of the rimmed cartridges laterally spaced from the median plane by a second distance that is greater than the first distance. Also disclosed is a baseplate that attaches to a magazine tube using a snap fit.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and lubricant blends for increasing lubricity of a brine-based drilling fluid having an alkaline pH and a threshold divalent cation concentration. An embodiment of the methods herein comprise providing a produced water or a brine having a threshold divalent cation concentration and an alkaline pH; adding to the produced water or brine at least one source of free fatty acids; and optionally further adding a dispersant. Also provided are brine-based drilling fluids produced by the methods and lubricant blends disclosed herein. Also, provided are methods for improving lubricity in a wellbore during drilling operations, which comprise, combining in a modulated manner, a quantity of a produced water or brine and a quantity of a lubricant blend comprising at least one source of free fatty acids and a dispersant, to target formation of a semi-solid lubricant that adheres to downhole surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for minting, aging, storing, grading, and trading NFT-based trading cards in a way that mimics that of “real” tangible trading cards. Embodiments of the solution may comprise generation of an NFT-based trading card asset by minting a nonfungible token (NFT) representative of an initial digital content operable to be visually displayed on a computing device. The minted NFT-based trading card asset is recorded on a blockchain and comprises a smart contract that includes a degradation algorithm, the degradation algorithm operable when executed to modify the initial digital content into a derivative digital content.

Second left and right ribs on an inside of the magazine tube extend inward from a rear portion of opposite sidewalls and are laterally spaced by a second spacing that is greater than the first spacing. When the magazine is filled to capacity with rimmed cartridges, cartridges in the magazine are arranged in two offset columns with projectiles of the rimmed cartridges laterally spaced from a median plane by a first distance and rims of the rimmed cartridges laterally spaced from the median plane by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.

Abstract: An in-line fitment for connection of a filter to a pipe includes first and second fluid-carrying portions and a non-fluid-carrying spacer. Each fluid-carrying portion includes a socket for receiving an open end of a pipe and a connector for connection of the filter. A screw compression fitting is provided on each of the sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions for forming a sealed connection with the open ends of the pipe. The socket of the first fluid-carrying portion has a pipe receiving depth greater than that of the socket of the second fluid-carrying portion for enabling movement of the fitment parallel to the pipe when engaged with one of the open ends of the pipe. The sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions are positioned on a common axis and facing away from each other when the fluid-carrying portions are linked by the spacer.

Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for price list determination from free-form text data are provided. The system obtains a text description of an item, such as an item that is the subject of an insurance loss claim and processes the text description using a first machine learning model to identify an item being described by the text description. The system then processes the text description using a second machine learning model to identify one or more candidate matching items from a database. The system then automatically populates one or more user interface screens of a claims processing software application using the output of the first machine learning model and the output of the second machine learning model.

Abstract: A borehole isolation device. The borehole isolation device may include a body having an outer diameter and an expandable ring. The expandable ring may be configured to expand from a first outer diameter that is approximately equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the body to a second outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the body when a fluid is flowed past the expandable ring in the borehole.
