Abstract: A cleaner assembly for an apparatus for making pouch products includes a cleaner roller and a poker roller. The cleaner roller may counter rotate with a rotatable drum of the apparatus, in contact with an upper surface of a first elastic layer on the rotatable drum, and at a greater tangential speed than at least one surface of an outer circumferential surface of the rotatable drum or an upper surface of the first elastic layer. The poker roller includes projections that are each configured to extend into one or more divots of the rotatable drum. The poker roller may counter rotate with the rotatable drum and at a same tangential speed as the at least one surface such that the projections extend into and out of separate, respective divots of the rotatable drum based on the counter rotation of the poker roller and the rotatable drum.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable a guest operating system (OS) to access and use a media processing component configured on a host OS. The guest OS provides, via an API, a request to create an instance of the media processing component (e.g., a codec, an encryption/decryption component, a DRM component). In association with the request, the guest OS allocates space in memory for media data that is to be processed by the instance of the media processing component configured on the host OS. The guest OS stores the input media data in the allocated memory and provides, via the API, reference(s) to locations of the allocated memory. The reference(s) to the locations of the allocated memory enable the host OS to retrieve the input media data and process the input media data using the instance of the media processing component configured on the host OS.

Abstract: A downhole sensor apparatus may include a first surface at a first end of the downhole sensor apparatus, a sensor coupled to the downhole sensor apparatus, and an exterior surface at a second, opposite end of the downhole sensor apparatus. The downhole sensor apparatus is configured to be inserted into a recess of a drill string component such that the first surface is adjacent an interior surface within the recess. The exterior surface of the downhole sensor apparatus is configured to receive external pressure that results in a force that transfers through the downhole sensor apparatus to an interface defined by a contact area between the first surface and the interior surface. The contact area of the interface is smaller than the exterior surface. Drill string components, such as earth-boring and downhole tools, incorporating such a downhole sensor apparatus and methods of using same are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling higher-level metrics from graph data derived from already-collected but not yet connected data are disclosed. A method includes extracting a first set of actor-related data, a second set of object-related data, and a third set of temporal data from the set of the already-collected but not yet connected data representative of a unit-level contribution to the target activity. The method further includes generating graph data for a graph using the set of the already-collected but not yet connected data, where each of the plurality of nodes of the graph corresponds to the actor or the object, and where an attribute associated with each of the plurality of edges of the graph corresponds to a measurement associated with the target activity. The method further includes modeling a relationship between graph attributes associated with the graph data and a higher-level metric associated with the target activity.

Abstract: A running tool sets and cements a liner in a borehole. While the tool's bypass section is closed, a plug deployed to the tool diverts hydraulic pressure to set a liner hanger in the borehole. The setting plug is unseated, and the bypass section is switched opened by deploying another plug to an opening seat and shifting a control sleeve open relative to a bypass port. While the tool's packoff remains sealed in the hanger, cement pumped out the bypass port is bullheaded into a lap of the liner and borehole. When cementing is complete, the bypass section is switched closed by deploying another plug to a closing seat and shifting the control sleeve closed relative to the bypass port. The bypass section is then placed in a flow-through condition where fluid communication is reestablished through the tool to the liner by allowing fluid to flow past the plugs in the tool.
