Abstract: A facility safety and compliance information system is provided as a Web-based application for managing information about deficiencies and repairs to facilities, that are subject to health and safety codes, security measures, and production and maintenance standards. The facility safety and compliance information system can maintain facility quality and keep maintenance costs in line, while also reducing liability and satisfying other regulatory constraints. The facility safety and compliance information system leverages computer information system, network, and communication technologies for automating the collection of data and the generation of regulatory and compliance documentation, while also improving the timeliness and accuracy of a facilities reporting, preparedness, and adherence to safety and compliance codes.

Abstract: A system for integrating and administering multi-organizational compliance monitoring of entities passing between the organizations. The system is configured to allow each organization to be individually responsible for and administer information related to the compliance status of an entity. The system increases an entity's mobility by allowing an organization other than the entity's home organization to determine the compliance status of the entity without additional compliance testing.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing multiple funding sources for health insurance and other approved healthcare expenses to full-time, hourly, part-time, seasonal, and temporary employees. Healthcare contributions for a single employee or for multiple workers in a family from more than one employer are placed in trust accounts established under separate Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) by each employer for use in paying qualified medical expenses of the employee and/or the employees' family. Each employer agrees to create HRAs for eligible employees and sends eligible employee data to a financial administrator. A trust account is created to hold the employer contributed HRA funds for the eligible employees. The eligible employees select a healthcare insurance policy, the premiums for which are paid out of each employee's HRA. The employee retains the HRA even if the employee's employment with the funding employer is terminated.

Abstract: A system for ensuring access management of a given site by providing integrated and comprehensive assessment of persons, livestock or objects that are given access to the site. The system includes a database of information about the site and potential accessors, a communication and scanning device to collect, retrieve and facilitate communication between the site as well as an administrator console. This system is flexible enough to maintain current information about the persons, livestock or objects requesting access to the site and communicating those results to the device user in real time. The system is further enabled through the Internet and the World Wide Web.

Abstract: A process of digital electronic lien management is provided. Form data is stored in a first electronic database. A user adds lien input data in a second electronic database related to a specific construction lien project. A user then generates at least one lien form through insertion of the lien input data into the form data. The resultant form is transmitted to a recipient, who digitally modifies the form to create a modified version and electronically reconveys the modified version to the user.

Abstract: A tubing rotator 10 rotatably suspending a tubing string TS in a well having a wellhead W includes a tubing hanger 12 for supporting the tubing string, and a mandrel 14 having a bore therein and connected to the tubing string. A coupling sleeve 30 rotatably connects the mandrel to the rotator drive shaft 16, and transfers rotational energy from the drive shaft to the mandrel while allowing for the disengagement of the coupling sleeve from the mandrel in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the mandrel. The coupling sleeve has interior surfaces 70 for mating with an exterior surfaces 72 on the mandrel, with each surface having a substantially curvilinear configuration about its circumference defining a plurality of curved radially outward extending peaks and curved radially inward extending valleys.

Abstract: A rod guide fixedly molded around the shank of a sucker rod string with the rod guide including a radially inner non-erodible zone and a radially outer erodible zone. The non-erodible zone includes a radially inner substantially sleeve-shaped portion having an inner cylindrical surface for gripping engagement with the rod. A plurality of flow through channels are spaced outward of the substantially sleeve-shaped portion. Each flow through channel extends axially along the rod guide and has a maximum circumferential width greater than any gap in the radially outer surface of the erodible zone circumferentially aligned with and radially outward of the respective flow through channel. The radially outer surface of the erodible zone may have a cylindrical outer configuration, such that a radially outward substantially sleeve-shaped portion is provided for engagement with the tubing.
