Patent number: 11788388Abstract: A casing patch system comprising a base tubular with two anchor/seals coupled to the base tubular and an expansion tool comprising two expansion devices positioned such that upon expansion of the first anchor/seal, the second expansion device engages the second anchor/seal. In another embodiment, the expansion device comprises two swages coupled to a shaft at a distance between them approximately equal to the length of the anchor/seal. The swage diameters are selected such that the expansion forces of the anchor/seal by front and back swages are approximately equal.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: CORETRAX AMERICAS LIMITEDInventors: Andrei G.

Patent number: 8239842Abstract: Modified compilers and other development tools provide implied line continuation within a sequence of syntax tokens of a programming language grammar which includes multiple semantic contexts and which uses line termination as presumptive statement termination. When source code parsing encounters a line terminator adjacent a context-dependent implicit line continuation token in an associated semantic context, an explicit decision is made whether to imply line continuation. Line continuation may also be implied in response to other specified tokens.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2009Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Avner Aharoni, Timothy Yat Tim Ng, David N. Schach, Paul Allen Vick, Jr., Lisa Feigenbaum, Sophia Salim, Henricus Johannes Maria Meijer, Jonathan Paul Aneja, Joseph Tyler Whitney

Patent number: 7383531Abstract: Architecture for developing an application. The architecture provides an entry point to commonly used classes of an application development framework. A developer begins a project which predefines a set of collection classes. An exposer component includes an identifier component and a compiler for generating accessors to the collected classes. The identifier uses an attribute on a collection class which a compiler dynamically extracts in order to generate accessors to the desired collected classes and compiles the generated collection classes for use in the namespace.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Allan Brigham, II, Shamez Rajan, Joseph Tyler Whitney, Paul Stanley Kuklinski, Jr., John J.
