Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method for controlling a coiled tubing unit at a well site is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processing device, wellbore data. The method further includes generating, by the processing device, an automated coiled tubing control plan for the coiled tubing unit based at least in part on the wellbore data. The method further includes controlling, by the processing device, the coiled tubing unit using the automated coiled tubing control plan to cause coiled tubing to run into a wellbore at the well site to a target depth, wait a waiting period of time, and cause the coiled tubing to run out of the wellbore.

Abstract: An injector control system for a coiled tubing unit includes a programmable logic controller arranged to receive a signal related to sensed parameters of a coiled tubing injection operation; a traction pressure control hydraulic circuit operable to adjust hydraulic pressure provided to at least one traction cylinder in a coiled tubing injection head; a motor pressure control hydraulic circuit operable to adjust hydraulic pressure provided to at least one motor of the coiled tubing injection head; and at least one of the traction pressure control hydraulic circuit and the motor pressure control hydraulic circuit including a proportional control valve in receipt of a variable electrical signal from the programmable logic controller. The programmable logic controller adjusts the signal delivered to the proportional control valve throughout the coiled tubing injection operation as dictated by the sensed parameters.

Abstract: Electrical harnesses and methods of manufacturing electrical harnesses are disclosed. The electrical harnesses may comprise an electrically conductive wire, an electrical connector in electrical communication with the conductive wire, a metal clad fiber (“MCF”) braided shield surrounding a portion of the electrically conductive wire, and an overbraid surrounding a portion of the MCF braided shield, wherein the electrical connector comprises an integrated backshell. Methods of making electrical harnesses may comprise connecting an electrical connector with a conductive wire, disposing a metal clad fiber (“MCF”) braided shield to at least partially surround the conductive wire; and disposing an overbraid to at least partially surround the MCF braided shield, wherein the electrical connector comprises an integrated backshell.

Abstract: A system includes cash dispensing automated banking machines (10). Each of the automated banking machines includes a cash dispenser (24) and at least one computer (28) in which a plurality of software products are operated. Entities responsible for operating the automated banking machines may receive messages that include information or update code items for software or firmware usable in the banking machines for which they have operational responsibility. Such messages may be provided by the banking machine manufacturer directly from a system operated by the manufacturer, or from sources that supply the manufacturer.

Abstract: A method and system for creating and modifying computer applications using an application description language based on a markup language is provided. An engine creates, connects, and initializes objects corresponding to entities, and specified by entity tags. A factory may be specified by an entity tag and used to create a plurality of entities. Applications are specified in a plaintext descriptive language using a markup language such as XML, enabling applications to be easily developed using object oriented techniques and abstraction. Altering preexisting applications is also simplified. Finally, an application may be dynamically reconfigured when the application's data changes. Type checking and conditional creation of entities is supported.

Abstract: A compiler architecture uses a question and answer methodology between a reduction engine and nodes of a graph representing the program being compiled to provide for easy expandability of the compiler. By using the question and answer methodology, additional functionality can be added to the compiler by users, whether they be part of the original design team of the compiler or be a subsequent user.

Abstract: A stand-alone toll-barring device powered by the telephone line voltage or from an external supply. The device recognizes a user's personal identification number (PIN) as it is dialed in from a telephone or similar peripheral device, and has device to recall rights (if any) corresponding to that PIN from a memory table, and a device to assess whether a number being dial just after entry of the PIN is permitted under those rights. Emergency numbers and incoming calls are not barred. If the number is not permitted, the call is immediately interrupted. Reprogramming of the data is provided by a further PIN. The device may be installed within a telephone or across fixed telecommunications wiring installations within a building. Should a larger range of permitted or denied numbers be required, multiple devices can be used in series.

Abstract: A guitar-like electronic musical instrument for use with a synthesizer has six pitch strings on the neck which the player depresses onto conductive frets to determine the selected semitone. A transducer senses if the player forces the string laterally on the fret and if the string is so laterally forced (bent) beyond a threshold, further pitch detection is inhibited. The fret construction can be much simplified and there is no danger of spurious notes being caused by contact with adjacent strings.

Abstract: A guitar-like electronic musical instrument for use with a synthesizer (18) has a body (20) and a neck (22). The neck carries six pitch strings (40) which the player depresses onto conductive frets to determine the selected note. The body carries six trigger strings (50) which can be plucked or strummed to initiate or trigger the desired notes. Alternatively they can be triggered by six keys (70). The trigger strings (50) and pitch strings (40) are at an angle to each other. The three lower strings and the three higher strings can be triggered together by group trigger keys (300,302) and all six strings triggered by a master trigger key (204). If either of switches (200,202) are actuated, notes will be triggered automatically as soon as the pitch string is depressed onto the fret. Touching of the string is detected by an a.c. waveform superposed on a d.c. potential. Hall effect devices are used to sense triggering by the trigger strings (50) or keys (70).
