Abstract: A device for storing and dispensing line for mooring a boat to a dock includes a user interface, an auto-retracting reel assembly, and optionally, a conduit connecting the user interface to the reel assembly. The user interface comprises a canister mounted on a gunwale, or the like, for storing the distal, looped end of a mooring line, a top lid that slides horizontally between an open and closed position, a rail support engaged by the top lid, and a bottom lid having a hole defined therein. The extended mooring line may be locked into place by frictional engagement between the spring loaded top lid and the rail support. To retract the mooring line, a user may open the top lid of the user interface for automated retraction, winding around the reel, until the stopping collar prevents the distal, looped end of the mooring line from passing therethrough.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of evaluating electromagnetic energy reflection data of security scans. In embodiments, a method to evaluate electromagnetic energy reflection data determines whether electronic information of a security scan contains an anomaly, and identifies an anomaly location in the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly. The method determines a subset of the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly location, determines anomaly attributes using the subset of the electronic information, and evaluates the anomaly attributes using a database of reference items by comparing anomaly attributes to respective reference characteristics of reference items or identity information. When a comparison meets the respective match criterion for the given reference item, the method assigns to the anomaly the respective identifier as an anomaly identifier.

Abstract: A gas lift system may be installed within a well to allow gas lift operations where gas may be injected into the annular area of the well while producing fluids through the interior of the production tubular or upon demand may be reversed so that gas may be injected into the interior of the production tubular while producing fluids to the annular region of the well. In order to allow bidirectional production on demand two types of gas lift mandrels are installed as part of the production tubular. Both types of gas lift mandrels are configured such that gas lift valves are mounted to the exterior of the mandrels. In order to facilitate the desired direction of gas flow through the two types of gas lift mandrels a plug and packer system with or with out one way valves may be utilized to direct and contain the pressurized gas flow within the well.

Abstract: Gas is injected into the interior of the production string. The gas eventually reaches a gas lift mandrel that provides access from the interior of the gas lift mandrel to a chamber on the exterior of the gas lift mandrel. The chamber includes a cap that provides gas access between the interior of the chamber and the annulus. However, the cap is fitted with a gas lift valve and a check valve that regulates the gas flow into the fluid.
