Abstract: Various implementations include a safety valve for mounting in a landing nipple in a wellbore. The safety valve includes a composite housing having a central passage, a shutoff element and a control mechanism. The shutoff element includes a collet and a movable mandrel having stops located in the upper part. When the shutoff element moves axially, the stops extend through the composite housing to interact with a landing nipple stop surface. The control mechanism includes a spring-loaded tubular plunger having a ring piston on its upper outer surface and longitudinal openings in its lower part, the openings being configured to align with openings in the composite housing. The movable mandrel is connected to the safety valve head at the mandrel top and rests against the plunger at the mandrel bottom. The movable mandrel has grooves and shoulders on its outer surface, which allow for taking one of the fixed positions.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards implementing a video monetization service into a social networking platform to form an information marketplace, enabling users to monetize information and digital content. A creator of a monetized video session can configure the monetized video session to his/her user preference and invite as many participants, e.g., all associations, a limited group of associations, including just one association, or other social media users in general. The associations may be followers, circles, friends, connections, or any other form of association.

Abstract: A method and system are contemplated for determining a final speed and position of a motor used in an electric vehicle. The final speed and position is calculated as a function of a sensed position when a resolver of a position system is available and as a function of a sensorless position when the resolver is unavailable.

Abstract: This invention controls stimulation levels and cycling cadence on an FES ergometer to minimize or prevent the occurrence of spasm in spinal cord injured or other neurologically impaired patients.

Abstract: A computer-implemented repair diagnostic method is provided that comprises receiving first image data representing an object with a fault that a user wishes to report, recognising the object by comparing information of the first image data with information in an object datastore comprising information on a plurality of objects, and storing information on the recognised object in a fault diagnostic report.

Abstract: With respect to an input data set which contains observation records of a time series, a statistical model which utilizes a likelihood function comprising a latent function is generated. The latent function comprises a combination of a deterministic component and a random process. Parameters of the model are fitted using approximate Bayesian inference, and the model is used to generate probabilistic forecasts corresponding to the input data set.

Abstract: A printing press for printing a heat seal film for packaging comprises at least two receivers, a first printer and a laminator, wherein, in use, a first receiver is capable of receiving a sealing layer and a second receiver is capable of receiving a printing layer, wherein the printer prints onto the sealing layer to provide a printed sealing layer and simultaneously the laminator laminates the printed sealing layer together with the printing layer.

Abstract: Corresponding to each forecasting model of a family of related models for a time series sequence, a respective state space representation is generated. One or more cross-validation iterations are then executed for each model of the family. In a given iteration, a training variant of the time series sequence is generated, with a subset of the time series sequence entries replaced by representations of missing values. Predictions for the missing values are obtained using the state space representation and the training variant, and a model quality metric is obtained based on prediction errors. The optimal model of the family is selected using the model quality metrics obtained from the cross validation iterations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to air-flow in a nebulizer head. In order to provide a nebulizer head with an improved air-flow guidance, a nebulizer head (10) comprises a housing structure (12) providing an air-flow path (16) with two opposite air-flow openings (18a, 18b), and a fluid reservoir (14) provided to accommodate a liquid from which small droplets are to be generated in order to form an aerosol, and an aerosol generator (20) with an aperture member (22) that comprises an aperture surface (24) with a plurality of apertures to provide the small droplets from the liquid. The fluid reservoir is arranged adjacent the aerosol generator such that the aperture member is in contact with the fluid. The aerosol generator is arranged within the air-flow path. At least one by-pass flow path (26) is provided between the aerosol generator and the housing structure. The air-flow path is a bidirectional path that provides a first air-flow direction (28) for inhaling, and a second air-flow direction (38) for exhaling.

Abstract: The present invention is a tourniquet comprising: a strap; a pelvic pad included in the strap having a pocket defined in the pelvic pad for receiving a semi-rigid stiffening member; base plates slidably attached to the strap allowing the base plates to be positioned along the strap; a threaded shaft received in each of the base plates; a pressure pad removable attached to a distal end of each of the shafts; a handle attached to a proximal end of each of the shafts having openings defined in each end of the handle; and, a rotational arresting strap attached to each base plate having a securing tab that can be received in one of the handle openings thereby preventing the shaft from rotating when the securing tab is received in sand handle opening.

Abstract: A method for analyzing inputs from a user to modify a financial plan with a computer system is disclosed. The method may also include displaying a plurality of images to the user, where each of the plurality of images is associated with a different query, and receiving an instruction to randomly select a subset of the plurality of images. The method may additionally include selecting, randomly, a subset of the plurality of images for presentation to the user and displaying the subset of the plurality of images in a different manner from a remainder of the plurality of images. The method may moreover include repeating, for every image of the subset: receiving a selection of one of the images; displaying to the user a query; and receiving an answer. The method may also include determining from the answers, a classification of the user's attitude toward financial resources and storing the classification.
