Abstract: A first fracturing fluid is pumped through a first wellbore at a first pressure. The first wellbore includes a first vertical section and horizontal section having a first end, intersecting from the first vertical section, and a distal end. A second fracturing fluid is pumped through a second wellbore at a second pressure simultaneously while the first fracturing fluid is pumped through the first wellbore. The second wellbore includes a second vertical section that intersects with the distal end of the horizontal section. The first pressure and the second pressure result in the first fracturing fluid and the second fracturing fluid intersecting at a fracture point within the horizontal section at a third pressure. The first fracturing fluid and the second fracturing fluid each experience a respective pressure drop traveling through their respective wellbores to the fracture point/. The respective pressure drops result in the third pressure.

Abstract: Technology to provide improved quality-of-experience-aware multimedia streaming is disclosed. Several types of communications that can be made between clients and servers are described. These communications enable improvements to current approaches that are used to achieve hyper-text transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming. These messages can be used in conjunction with computer circuitry configured to: determine a bandwidth available to the server for transmitting HTTP adaptive streaming content to a plurality of clients; receive HTTP requests from the plurality of clients for representations offered by the server in a manifest file for the HTTP adaptive streaming; and calculate an availability of each representation that is offered in the manifest file for the server. The availability can be calculated, at least in part, based on the determined bandwidth. The availability of each representation can be communicated from the server to the plurality of clients.

Abstract: A pressure testing system for analyzing a rock formation includes a tubular support member sized to pass into a wellbore of the rock formation and an adjustable loading device configured to exert a radial load against the wall of the wellbore. The adjustable loading device includes multiple expandable members distributed around a circumference of the tubular support member and configured to expand to respectively exert multiple radial pressures against the wall of the wellbore that together provide the radial load. The pressure testing system further includes a control module configured to selectively control expansion of each expandable member of the multiple expandable members to vary the radial load exerted by the adjustable loading device as a function of an angle around the circumference of the tubular support member.

Abstract: A promotion price adjustment system of the present application utilizes improved data definitions, caching, and a combination of online and offline processing to increase the efficiency and speed of applying promotional discounts in electronic retail systems. The system performs an offline batch process on a product catalog to generate a predetermined mapping between products in the catalog and candidate promotions. When checkout of a product in a virtual shopping cart is initiated, the product's candidate promotions are obtained from the predetermined mapping. Each of those candidate promotions is then evaluated against the properties of the virtual shopping cart to determine which of those candidate promotions are eligible for application. Any eligible promotions may serve as a basis for applying price discounts to the virtual shopping cart.

Abstract: Provided is a diagnostic wellbore testing method that includes forming a diagnostic wellbore in a subterranean zone including one or more formations. The wellbore extends through a portion of a formation having a maximum horizontal stress extending in a first direction and a minimum horizontal stress extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The method also includes forming a pair of notches on a circumference of the wellbore. The pair of notches are formed diametrically opposite each other. The method also includes applying fluidic pressure to the wellbore at the pair of notches in the second direction while avoiding applying fluidic pressure in the first direction. Fractures propagate from the pair of notches responsive to the fluidic pressure. The method also includes measuring a closure pressure of the wellbore, and providing the closure pressure as the maximum horizontal stress of the formation.
