Abstract: A monitoring well installation comprising metallic casing (2) running down from the surface into a borehole and a sealing material plug (6) provided downhole for blocking the interior of the casing and sealing the borehole against the egress of fluid from a zone below the plug. There is an axial spacing (2A) between adjacent casing portions (2) in the region of the plug (6) such that there is an uncased length of borehole in which the material of the plug seals against the formation. There is provided a sensing tool (3) located below the plug (6) for sensing at least one parameter below the plug (6) and a communication arrangement (3, 4, 5) for use in transmitting data from the sensing tool (3) towards the surface. The communication arrangement comprises across plug communication apparatus (5) for facilitating transmission of signals carrying data across the plug (6) towards the surface.

The coating composition can be applied to a substrate in a single-step process as a thick and durable polymeric layer. Methods for making the coating composition and related articles are also provided.

Abstract: A hydrophobic and oleophobic coating composition includes at least a polysilazane polymer and a fluoroacrylate copolymer is applied to one or more work pieces, such as solder paste stencils, via a nebulizing spray system having one or more spray applicators. Application is accomplished by controlled operation of the spray applicator along with controlled movement of a work piece relative to the applicator.

Abstract: Techniques for real-time location tagging are disclosed. A camera-enabled device presents an image of a physical space currently being captured by the camera-enabled device. Responsive to detecting user input while the image of the physical space is being captured by the camera-enabled device, the camera-enabled device tags a location in a plan of the physical space with information based at least in part on the user input.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to methods of tracking stocked inventory, such as products or other items stocked on a store shelf or other storage space. The disclosure is also directed to devices and systems that may be utilized to carry out such methods.

Abstract: Downhole electrical energy harvesting and communication in systems for well installations having metallic structure carrying electric current, for example CP current. In some instances there is a harvesting module (4) electrically connected to the metallic structure (2) at a first location and to a second location spaced from the first location, the first and second locations being chosen such that, in use, there is a potential difference therebetween due to the electric current flowing in the structure (2); and the harvesting module (4) being arranged to harvest electrical energy from the electric current. In addition or alternatively, there may be communication apparatus (4, 5, 6) for communication by modulation of the current, for example CP current, in the metallic structure (2).

Abstract: A multi-window user interface (UI) is presented in various configurations and operational uses to leverage the relatively large display canvas afforded by large screen display devices such as 4K or 8K displays. Along with the various “Multiview” aspects, content delivery techniques, content selection techniques, and level of service techniques also are presented.

Abstract: Determining a location for a non-access point device based on non-access point device emulation of an access point (AP) device is disclosed. A non-AP device can pass itself off as an actual AP device to piggyback of location reporting by user equipment (UE). Where a UE observes an emulated AP, e.g., a non-AP device masquerading as an AP device, the observance of the emulated AP can be reported, along with UE location information captured at the time of the observance, to a network database. The UE location information can be used to determine a location of the emulated AP. The location of the emulated AP can be retrieved from the database in response to a query identifying the emulated AP. This can enable the non-AP device to query its own location as observed by the UE. This can enable other devices to receive the location of the non-AP device.

Abstract: Indicators such as visible icons or other objects are presented on a display, with each indicator being associated with a respective profile that defines interactive events for which notifications are desired. Broadcast video is presented along with the indicators, and when an interactive event signal is received, if a profile indicates that a notification for that type of event is desired, the associated indicator is altered in appearance, e.g., by changing color, or motion, or other technique. If a profile does not indicate that the type of event should be notified, the corresponding indicator is not altered in appearance, e.g., can remain grayed out yet still visible.

Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension and related diseases, like pulmonary arterial hypertension, can be treated by administering an effective dose of a CDK inhibitor, including palbociclib, 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: According to an example, an air dielectric printed circuit board (PCB) may include a first PCB layer including a first substrate and a first conductive layer formed of a first conductive material, and a second PCB layer including a second substrate and a second conductive layer formed of a second conductive material. The second conductive layer may be disposed in a directly facing configuration relative to the first conductive layer, and at a predetermined distance away from the first conductive layer to provide an air dielectric gap between the first and second conductive layers. The air dielectric PCB may further include a standoff that includes a first end and a second end that is opposite to the first end. The standoff may be attached to the first and second PCB layers respectively at the first and second ends thereof, and may include a predetermined length to maintain the predetermined distance.

Abstract: Guide apparatus for an elongate member such as a pipeline or pipe. The apparatus comprising a plurality of first elements in the form of rings with central openings through which the elongate member extends. The first elements are interconnected by link members spaced around the outside of the first elements and locating in T-shaped cross section guide formations. The link members restrict the amount of pivotal movement between the first elements, and hence bending of the elongate member.

Abstract: A bank customer's electronic debit or credit card (“e-card”) automatically reports to the customer's CE device the receipt of transaction interrogations the e-card receives from a point of sale (POS) apparatus. The e-card may simply report to the CE device and respond to the interrogation, or it may await a signal from the CE device prior to responding to the interrogation.
