Abstract: A technique facilitates improved sealing with respect to safety valve pistons so as to improve reliable safety valve operation. According to an embodiment, a safety valve piston seal assembly is positioned about a safety valve piston and comprises components which divert a load path to the safety valve piston rather than to susceptible components of the seal assembly. For example, the seal assembly may comprise a load ring and spacers to energize a V-ring when pressure is applied to a metal spring energized (MSE) seal. However, the components are arranged so the load path is diverted to the safety valve piston when pressure occurs behind the V-ring instead of allowing the loading to act against the MSE seal.

Abstract: An ear tip device for padding an in-ear headphone includes a cylinder, which comprises silicone and viscoelastic polyurethane foam so that the cylinder is resiliently compressible. A channel is axially positioned in and extends through the cylinder. The channel is configured to expand to allow insertion of a headphone and to contract to couple the cylinder to the headphone. The cylinder is configured to be compressed between digits of a hand of a user, positioning the user to at least partially insert the cylinder into an ear canal of the user. The cylinder is positioned to expand to conform to the ear canal and to couple the cylinder to the ear. The cylinder is configured to attenuate ambient noise and to direct a sound transmitted by the headphone to an eardrum of the user.

Abstract: The subject technology is in the technical field of immediate crisis management for patients who are under physical, mental, or emotional distress, and who are in remote or difficult-to-access-locations. In particular, the subject technology serves such patients who recognize during “moments of clarity” that they need and want immediate help. Yet, they may be reluctant to seek help under normal circumstances because of a need to conceal the problem from others. The subject technology is a system and methods using cellular, Internet, geo-location, and other technology that make assistance available upon a simple action (clicking an icon), and deliverable through mobile or desktop devices. The system accommodates patients who remain anonymous, with information continuity across anonymous session, and those who choose to identify themselves in order to seek more extensive assistance.

Abstract: An oxidative breaker system for use in reducing the viscosity of a polysaccharide-based or derivatized polysaccharide-based suspension includes a silicone carrier fluid, an oxidizer, and a suspension aid. The suspension aid is preferably fumed silica. The oxidizer may be selected from the group consisting of alkali metal peroxide, transition metal peroxide, persulfate compound, bromide compound, and bromate compound. In highly preferred embodiments, the oxidizer is magnesium peroxide or calcium peroxide. Alternative carrier fluids and suspension agents are also included in the art. Also disclosed is a method for breaking a polysaccharide-based suspension with the inventive oxidative breaker system.

Abstract: A wearable harness system manually configurable as a belt and a climbing harness includes an elongated flexible belt body portion having a first end and a second end defining a front belt surface and a rear belt surface, a buckle attached to the first end, a pair of elongated leg straps attached to the rear belt surface, each of which configured to form a loop around each leg of a user, and an opening provided on the rear belt surface to form a pocket along a length of the elongated flexible belt body portion to store a portion of the pair of elongated leg straps. The wearable harness system may enable the users to conceal a portion of the pair of elongated leg straps inside the pocket prior to using the wearable harness system as the belt for fastening around a clothing item worn over a waist of the user.

Abstract: An overlay network is enhanced to provide traffic delivery using anycast and end user mapping. An anycast IP address is associated with sets of forwarding machines positioned in the overlay network. These locations correspond with IP addresses for zero rated billing traffic. In response to receipt at a forwarding machine of a packet, the machine issues an end user mapping request to the mapping mechanism. The mapping request has an IP address associated with the client from which the end user request originates. The mapping mechanism resolves the request and provides a response to the request. The response is an IP address associated with a set of server machines distinct from the forwarding machine. The forwarding machine encapsulates the packet and proxies the connection to the identified server. The server receives the connection, decapsulates the request, and processes the packet. The server machine responds to the requesting client directly.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for determining the range of an RFID tag from an origin using radio-frequency identification (“RFID”) tags. An RFID tag with a unique numerical identifier is secured to an object. The RFID tag transmits its unique numerical identifier using RF signals, wherein the numerical identifier further comprises an array of extensions. The strength of each of the RF signals corresponds to an extension of the array of extensions. A receiver reads the RF signals and determines the unique numerical identifier and extensions being transmitted. An information processor interconnected with the receiver analyzes the unique numerical identifier and extensions from a predetermined index, and the information processor determines the range of the identity and range of the RFID tag from an origin.
