Abstract: The present invention provides a compound having the structure: wherein R1 is H or a protecting group; R2 and R3 are each independently H, halo, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, C2-C6 alkynyl, C1-C6 alkyl-C(O)NHR6, C1-C6 alkyl-C(O)OR6, wherein R6 is H, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl or C2-C6 alkynyl, or R2 and R3 combine to form a 3-7 membered cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl ring; and R4 and R5 are each independently halo.

Abstract: A spring nut for attaching a threaded object to a structure with reentrant lips. The spring nut can include a base, a first arm and a second arm extending from the base in a first direction, and legs extending laterally from the base. The arms can include a support portion, a structure-engagement portion, and a thread-engagement portion that can be configured to secure the threaded object against axial loading in a second direction opposite the first direction. Crumple zones in the support portions can deform upon loading of the threaded object in the second direction to cause the structure-engagement portion to be urged into the reentrant lips. Each of the legs can extend at a first angle from the base, toward the structure-engagement portions, to be disposed to contact an exterior surface of the reentrant lips of the structure when the first and second arms are received in the channel.

Abstract: A grease-retaining frac valve insert to mitigate grease loss during operation of a frac valve, a frac valve assembly using one or more of the grease-retaining frac valve insert, and a wellhead including one or more frac valve assemblies using one or more of the grease-retaining frac valve inserts. The frac valve assembly includes a valve gate defining a valve aperture movable from an wellhead operating position to the valve open position. The grease-retaining frac valve insert includes a seal plate defining a cuff receptacle. A valve sealing cuff is removably received in the cuff receptacle. The valve sealing cuff carries a face sealing groove for sealing against the valve aperture as the valve gate is moved between the wellhead operating position to the valve open position.

Abstract: A spring nut for attaching a threaded object to a structure with reentrant lips. The spring nut can include a base, a first arm and a second arm extending from the base in a first direction, and legs extending laterally from the base.

Crumple zones in the support portions can deform upon loading of the threaded object in the second direction to cause the structure-engagement portion to be urged into the reentrant lips. Each of the legs can extend at a first angle from the base, toward the structure-engagement portions, to be disposed to contact an exterior surface of the reentrant lips of the structure when the first and second arms are received in the channel.

Abstract: A spring nut for attaching a threaded object to a structure can include first and second arms extending from the base, and a wedge element. The wedge element can be configured to selectively operatively urge the first and second arms apart to release the threaded object from between the first and second arms.

Abstract: A cable tray clip can couple sections of a wire mesh cable tray. The cable tray clip can include a base and a retainer rotatably coupled to the base. The retainer can be rotated to a closed position to retain one or more wires within one or more pockets on the base.

Abstract: A support clip can be configured to support objects relative to a cable support system having wire members. A support system engagement portion can have first, second, and third attachments, which can be removably attachable to the wire members of the cable support system. The first attachment can define a first partly cylindrical pocket with a first entrance, the second attachment can define a second partly cylindrical pocket with a second entrance, and the third attachment can define a hook that defines a third elongate pocket and a third entrance. The first and second attachments can be configured to receive respective wire members to attach the support clip to the cable support system in a first orientation and the second and third attachments can be configured to receive respective wire members to attach the support clip to the cable support system in a second orientation.

Abstract: An attachment can secure an electrical box to a support structure without the use of fasteners. An attachment body can be configured to be secured to the support structure. One or more engagement arrangements can include first and second arms that are configured to engage first and second mounting openings of an electrical box without use of a separate fastener.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using a communication system in a spectrum are provided. For example, a random access or RACH procedure may be performed where the random access or RACH procedure may be configured to reduce secondary interference and/or to be used in a pixel-based environment. The random access or RACH procedure may include selecting a RACH preamble; sending a RACH preamble and/or format information; determining a transmission power of the RACH preamble and/or the format information; determining a random access radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI) and preamble ID associated with the RACH preamble; and/or selecting a physical RACH (PRACH).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spectrum coordination are described. A method of spectrum coordination includes a spectrum coordinator receiving a request for shared spectrum from a CRS that the spectrum coordinator supports. The request includes at least one minimum protection requirement. The spectrum coordinator determines protection criteria for the CRS based on the at least one minimum protection requirement received from the CRS. The spectrum coordinator sends the protection criteria for the CRS to a geo-location database for use in assigning shared spectrum to other CRSs that the spectrum coordinator does not support.
