Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, and methods for presenting feed items in an information feed. In various implementations, at least one feed parameter is determined, where the at least one feed parameter identifies a characteristic of at least one feed item to be included in the information feed. In some implementations, at least one feed search strategy is determined based on the determined at least one feed parameter, where the at least one feed search strategy identifies a feed query to be issued to a database system storing the feed items. In various implementations, the at least one feed item is identified based on the determined at least one feed parameter and the at least one feed search strategy. In various implementations, a first result object is generated, where the first result object includes the identified at least one feed item.

Abstract: An improved reference current generator is provided. A voltage difference generator generates two voltages that are separated by a relatively small electrical potential. The two closely separated voltages are applied across a resistive element with relatively large impedance value resulting in a small and stable reference current. The result is a power efficient, temperature compensated reference current generator.

Abstract: A tire chain includes a side member. An attachment bracket is secured at a first end region to the side member. The attachment bracket is formed at a second end region with a slot and with a channel. A crosslink member has an endless link at one end. The endless link defines an opening and is located in the slot so that the opening intersects the channel. A rod extends through the channel and the opening of the endless link and is secured against removal from the channel, whereby the crosslink member is secured to the attachment bracket.

Abstract: A system and method for determining fluid distribution in subterranean reservoirs including determining a water saturation in macroporosity from the capillary pressure data representative of the macroporosity using a saturation height function, correcting capillary pressure data representative of microporosity to have an entry pore value equivalent to a pore size defining the microporosity, determining a water saturation in the microporosity from the corrected capillary pressure data representative of the microporosity, and using the macroporosity water saturation and the microporosity water saturation to estimate fluid distribution within the subterranean reservoir. The system and method may also include the estimation of hydrocarbon reserves.

Abstract: A method of characterizing formation fluid present in a subsurface earth formation during drilling using methods for correcting the measured concentrations of gas components in drilling mud. Gas trap values for the gas components of interest, light hydrocarbons, are measured during mud logging and are corrected using relative response factors, determined from laboratory fluid analysis values and relative extraction efficiency values. The relative response factors for each gas component of interest can be used for correcting additional gas trap values measured in the same well or for correcting gas trap values measured in surrounding wells utilizing a similar drilling fluid. The corrected gas trap values for each of the gas components of interest can be utilized to calculate gas/oil ratios for characterizing the formation fluid from the volume of drilling mud.
