Abstract: A submersible mixing and sampling apparatus with submersible supply systems (12, 14) for first and second liquid components such as a thermoset resin and a curing agent is disclosed. Each supply system has a respective submersible tank (24) for holding a respective one of the liquid components. Submersible mixers (46, 48, 50) downstream of the supply systems mix the liquid components underwater to form a curable mixture for injection into a subsea chamber such as a tee (102). Submersible sampling devices downstream of the mixers take samples (94) of the mixture underwater before, during and after injection, and optionally also at the surface. The samples may be cured and tested underwater or may be lifted to the surface for testing. The apparatus may be mounted on a subsea skid (100) or basket.

Abstract: An enclosure for a range hood. The enclosure has side curtains depending from the sides of the range hood and a front curtain depending from the front of the range hood, all of which extend downward to the range. A first horizontal row of permanent magnets is formed at a lower edge of the front curtain, the front curtain being coupled to the front side of the range hood by a T shaped member having a hook portion for attaching to the front side of the range hood and a second horizontal row of permanent magnets oriented away from the range hood. The two horizontal rows of magnets are configured to couple together to support the front curtain in an elevated position. The curtains of the enclosure are configured to fully enclose the range and range hood.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses can operate to provide user directed third party video content. In some implementations, a first segment of third party video content is provided to a user device for display to the user, and a request is received from the user to skip the first segment of third party video content. A second segment of third party video content is retrieved and provided to the user device for display to the user.

Abstract: Various methods, systems, and apparatuses can be used to perform metered and conditional access control. In some implementations, a metered and conditional access control system can operate to approve, deny, or meter a request from a requesting user device for transactions such as, for example, approval of purchases, requests for bandwidth, access to restricted content, among many others. Once prompted, a granting user device can grant, deny, or meter directly with the requesting user device or another network element. A metered and conditional access control system can also coordinate with a metered conditional access control coordinating device to facilitate conditional access and/or metering.

Abstract: A method and system for the management of deletion requests for related documents in a content management system. When a user requests to delete a related document associated with a record in the content management system, the request determines whether there are other documents associated with the record, collects the documents and determines if any of the collected documents are parent documents, removes the association between each collected document and the record, and initiates a deletion process to delete the parent documents.

Abstract: A method for securing a branch assembly to a “live” pipeline. An upper part of the assembly incorporating the branch is positioned on the pipeline over a containment ring located on the pipeline and within which is an annular seal surrounding an area from which the branch is to extend. A lower part of the assembly is positioned on the pipeline beneath the upper part and the two parts are secured together so that the seal is compressed and an annular space is left between the two parts and the external surface of the pipeline. Grout is injected into the annular space and cures to bond the two parts forming the branch assembly in position on the pipeline. The use of grout avoids having to use welding techniques on a “live” pipeline. A coupon can be cut out of the pipeline, via the access through the branch.

Abstract: One or more logical domains may be utilized for partitioning and reorganizing a single physical domain or a search space constituted by a plurality of physical domains. Logical domains include at least one page selected from the plurality of pages in the physical domain. Responsive to a request for information, each logical domain may be ranked according to subject matter relevance to the information requested. Definition and relevance ranking of logical domains enables Web site mapping which supports multi-granularity and content-sensitivity in response to a request for information. A multi-granular site map presents users with differing levels of detail, from a general overview of site topology to detailed views of specific areas of the map. A topic-focused site map presents users with a general view of site topology with a detailed view of an area of the site which contains information of interest.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hypermedia database for managing bookmarks, which allows a user to organize hypertext documents for querying, navigating, sharing and viewing. In addition, the hypermedia database also provides access control to the information in the database. The hypermedia database of the present invention parses meta-data from bookmarked documents and indexes and classifies the documents. The present invention supports advanced query and navigation of a collection of bookmarks, especially providing various personalized bookmark services. In one embodiment, the present invention utilizes a proxy server to observe a user's access patterns to provide useful personalized services, such as automated URL bookmarking, document refresh, and bookmark expiration. In addition, a user may also specify various preference in bookmark management, e.g., ranking schemes (i.e. by referral, access frequency, or popularity) and navigation tree fan-out.

Abstract: A method for securing a shell assembly to a pipeline. A two part shell assembly is secured to the pipeline and holds in position an annular sealing arrangement located about a predetermined area of the outer surface of the pipeline. The sealing arrangement includes a containment ring surrounding an annular seal. The containment ring is provided with connected through passages so that sealant can be introduced by a hole in the assembly into the passages to provide sealing between the containment ring and the pipeline, and between the containment ring and the shell assembly. Thus, should the annular seal fail during service the introduced sealant provides a seal.
