Abstract: In one embodiment, a software system automatically generates a fully functional user interface (UI) based upon any underlying schema within a relational database management system (RDBMS). The UI derives from an automated interrogation of the schema, and comprises all mode displays (e.g., browse, search, edit, add) for all tables, along with integrated mechanisms for representing, navigating and managing relationships across tables. It utilizes a hierarchical “context stack” for suspending the working state of a particular table while “drilling down” to work with related-table information and (potentially) return relevant changes to the base table. The UI presentation resolves cross-table relationships so as to supplant internal key fields from the primary table with corresponding descriptive fields derived from the related tables.

Abstract: An energy monitoring system includes a memory storing instructions to execute an energy modeling technique and processing circuitry for executing the instructions to operate the energy modeling technique. The energy modeling technique includes receiving energy data from a plurality of segments representative of one or more logical subgroups. The energy modeling technique includes categorizing the energy data of the logical subgroups into a plurality of segments. The energy modeling technique includes organizing the plurality of segments into a plurality of state-based hierarchical levels. The energy modeling technique includes calculating energy usage and factors associated with the plurality of state-based hierarchical levels via an energy model. The energy modeling technique includes outputting a visualization representative of the energy data corresponding to each of the segments to a monitoring and control system, resulting in a graphical representation accessible by a user-viewable screen.

Abstract: A receptacle has an outer housing with an aperture and an internal frame sized and configured to fit within the outer housing. A telescoping assembly is configured to associate with the aperture such that the receptacle may be placed in a first position or a second position, the internal volume of the receptacle being greater in the second position than the first. A second receptacle is formed from an inner portion and an outer portion offset by a stepped portion. The stepped portion forms a collar rest edge at a first height and a collar rest platform at a second height greater than the first height. A collar has a base and is adapted to fit over the inner portion such that the base may rest on the collar rest edge in a first position or the collar rest platform in a second position increasing the internal volume.

Abstract: A software system automatically and dynamically generates a fully functional user interface (UI) based upon, and connected directly to, an underlying data model (as instantiated within a relational database management system (RDBMS)). The UI derives from an automated interrogation of the RDBMS, and comprises all mode displays (e.g., browse, search, edit, add) for all tables, and a full complement of mechanisms—integrated directly into the mode displays—for representing, navigating, and managing relationships across tables, regardless of the complexity of the underlying RDBMS schema. It utilizes a hierarchical “context stack” for suspending the working state of a particular table while “drilling down” to work with related-table information and return relevant changes to the base table.

Abstract: Composites containing a hydrocarbon-soluble well treatment agent may be supplied to a well using a porous particulate. Such well treatment agents may for example inhibit the formation of paraffins, salts, gas hydrates, asphaltenes and/or other deleterious processes such as emulsification (both water-in-oil and oil-in-water). Further, other well treatment agents include foaming agents, oxygen scavengers, biocides and surfactants as well as other agents wherein slow release into the production well is desired.

Abstract: A software system automatically and dynamically generates a fully functional user interface (UI) based upon, and connected directly to, an underlying data model (as instantiated within a relational database management system (RDBMS)). The UI is built according to an automated interrogation of the RDBMS, either as needed (on-the-fly) or by building an in-memory representation of the data model. The generated UI comprises all mode displays (e.g.
