Abstract: The present invention allows a CEC system to automatedly track the use, storage, access, and modification of sensitive information/data in the system through desktop monitoring. Further, through desktop, video, and audio monitoring of CSRs the system can automatedly determine the improper use, access, storage, and modification of sensitive information by implementing sensitive data use rules that allow a system to be specialized for the user. Finally, the system can automatedly determine and implement violation actions for the improper use, storage, access, and manipulation of sensitive information. This provides an intelligent system capable of locating all sensitive data in the system and regulating the use, access, and storage of sensitive data in the system.

Abstract: A method for drawing a freehand curve on a 2D interactive screen in a first coordinate system, the curve being represented in 3D space in a second coordinate system, the method includes selecting, for display on the interactive screen, a perspective view of a 3D drawing object, the drawing object comprising features; creating a first point in the first coordinate system on the interactive screen; capturing the first point in the second coordinate system as a start point for a curve; creating a second point in the first coordinate system on the interactive screen; capturing the second point in the second coordinate system as an end point for the curve; wherein the capturing of at least one of the start point and the end point comprises fixing the point to a position that represents a feature of known position in the second coordinate system.

Abstract: A virtual reality design tool comprises a headset (1) and a controller (12). The headset (10), worn by a user, displays three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) space (18). The VR space has tools such as a virtual controller (19) that the user can use for free-drawing of lines (300) in the VR space. Such lines can be created and edited, particularly by dragging of control points in three dimensions using the virtual controller (19).

Abstract: Storable cement slurries utilize a carrageenan suspending agent to provide stable slurries under conditions of high pH and calcium ion content. These cement slurries may be utilized for, among other things, cementing applications involving oil and gas wells.

Abstract: A drilling fluid additive for controlling solids comprising a carrageenan material, such as iota or kappa carrageenan. The drilling fluid additive may be used with other additives, such as a polyacrylate dispersant. Among other things, the drilling fluid additive may be used to drill deviated or horizontal wells, or wells having large diameter boreholes.

Abstract: In the method of the invention, a storable hydraulically-active cementitious slurry is made and used to cement within subterranean foundations for oil and gas wells. The slurry is made from hydraulically-active, cementitious material suitable for oil field purposes and can be stored until needed. During storage, the slurry remains liquid. The slurry is activated when needed for cementing. After pumping the activated slurry into the wellbore, the set cement has properties acceptable for well cementing.
