Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure can include a system for dispensing purified and sterilized fluid and/or solution. The delivery system can include a fluid reservoir, a sterilization and/or purification mechanism, a solution production mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a controller. The system can dispense the purified and sterilized fluid and/or solution on-demand.

Abstract: A polyester film comprising a polymeric phosphonate flame retardant in an amount of from about 1.0 to about 25.0 wt % by total weight of the film and further comprising at least one metal cation selected from the group consisting of Group I and Group II metal cations.

Abstract: A tool string disposable in a wellbore includes a plug configured to seal against an inner surface of a tubular string disposed in the wellbore, and a setting tool coupled to the plug that includes a piston slidably disposed in a setting tool housing of the setting tool and including a central passage, and a combustible assembly disposed in the passage of the piston, wherein the combustible assembly includes a housing and combustible material disposed in the combustible assembly housing, wherein, in response to a pressurization of the central passage of the piston of the setting tool, the setting tool is configured to actuate the plug to seal against the inner surface of the tubular string.

Abstract: The magnetic reversibly attached template (MRAT) are solid devices made of biocompatible material containing a magnetic material. These devices can be made in any shape using microfabrication, milling, and molding and can be positioned and secured using magnetic forces. The applications of the M RAT encompass the patterning of biological and non-biological materials including cells, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, aqueous solutions, polymers, rubbers, and other reagents on solid surfaces.

Abstract: A stability monitoring system is described that provides an accurate, automated, and remote way of monitoring small movements over a large surface area without the need to pre-place reflective targets using a mobile SAR. The stability monitoring system allows the rapid, automated identification and measurement of small surface movements over a wide field of view from a safe standoff distance without the need for personnel working in hazardous zones. Using this data, authorities can more accurately identify hazard areas and efficiently allocate mitigation resources.
