Abstract: A folding knife and related method include actuating elements for locking or unlocking the blade of the knife. The actuating elements are permanently illuminated or backlit so that the actuating elements are more clearly visible in low light conditions and can therefore be safely operated. Such features for knife applications may provide advantages for particular activities where knives are commonly used, such as for law enforcement and hunting.

Abstract: Methods of performing a stimulation operation at a wellsite are disclosed. The wellsite is positioned about a subterranean formation having a wellbore therethrough and zones thereabout. The method involves establishing at least one objective for stimulating production of reservoir fluid from the subterranean formation and into the wellbore. The stimulating involves placing a stimulating fluid along the zones of the wellbore. The objective is based on wellsite data. The method also involves identifying at least one constraint for the stimulating, determining target distributions of the stimulation fluid based on the objective(s) and the constraint(s), and selecting operational parameters for the stimulating based on the constraint(s) and the target distributions. The method may also involve stimulating the subterranean formation using the target distributions and the operational parameters, monitoring the wellsite during the stimulating, and adjusting the stimulating based on the monitoring.

Abstract: The present invention provides coating systems that use polycyclic polyester resins in combination with phenolic resins. The combination of these resin materials provides a coating composition that provides cured coatings with excellent adhesion, blush resistance, stain resistance, and corrosion resistance in a single coating composition. This makes the coating compositions well suited for use to form coatings on closures used in the packaging industry for food and beverages. In many embodiments, even though PVC and BPA materials are excluded, the coating compositions provide monocoats whose performance substantially matches and even exceeds the performance of monocoats formed from PVC and BPA containing materials.
