Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media geologic modeling are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving an identification of a type of architectural element in association with a first well in a subterranean domain, based at least partially on data collected from the first well, and determining one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element. The method may also include defining, using a processor, an architectural element of the type of architectural element, in a representation of the subterranean domain and in association with the first well, based on the one or more characteristics, and displaying, using the processor and a display device in communication therewith, the architectural element intersecting the first well in a model.

Abstract: A fluid ejection assembly includes a fluid slot formed in a first substrate and a channel formed in a chamber layer disposed on top of a second substrate. The bottom surface of the second substrate is adhered to the top surface of the first substrate and fluid feed holes are formed between the fluid slot and the channel. A fluid ejection element is at a first end of the channel and a pump element is at a second end of the channel to circulate fluid horizontally through the channel and vertically through the fluid feed holes.

Abstract: Manufacturing method for an inkjet print head, comprising forming a nozzle layer onto a substrate, depositing an LSE (low surface energy) coating onto the nozzle layer, depositing a sacrificial film onto the LSE coating, post processing the substrate, and removing the sacrificial film from the LSE coating, the LSE coating having a water contact angle of at least 50° after removal of the sacrificial film.

Abstract: A method for providing feedback to a user of a breathing gas delivery system includes collecting usage data during use of the breathing gas delivery system, comparing the usage data to a therapeutic target, generating feedback based on the comparison of the usage data to the therapeutic target; and communicating the feedback to the user. An apparatus for providing feedback includes a user interface in communication with the air flow source and configured to be coupled to a user to provide air from the air flow source to the user, a controller having memory for storing a therapeutic target, one or more usage data inputs. The controller is configured to compare usage data to the therapeutic target to determine feedback for the user. A feedback communicator presents the feedback to the user.

Abstract: A micromechanical device may include one or more piezoresistive elements whose electrical resistance changes in response to externally or internally induced strain. The present invention leverages the piezoresistive properties of such devices to sense the positional state of the device. A sensing circuit may be integrated into the device that senses an electrical resistance of at least a portion of the micromechanical device and provides information regarding the positional state of the micromechanical device. The micromechanical device may be a compliant device that includes relatively flexible members such as mechanical beams or ribbons. The positional states may be continuous positional states (such as the position of an actuator) or discreet positional states (such as the positional state of a bistable memory device). In certain embodiments, the micromechanical device is a threshold detector that latches to a particular stable configuration when an applied force exceeds a selected value.

Abstract: A process for the recovery of nickel and/or cobalt from an impure nickel, cobalt or mixed nickel/cobalt material including the steps of: a) providing a nickel, cobalt or mixed nickel/cobalt material; and b) contacting the nickel, cobalt or mixed nickel/cobalt material with a feed ammoniacal ammonium carbonate solution and a reductant in a leach step.
