Abstract: An interactive system for use in connection with recreational vehicle usage includes a server system, including an off-road trail database containing trail data, trail condition information, and points-of-interest information, as well as a trip mapping system accessible by any of a plurality of riders, allowing a rider to create a route based on the data in the off-road trip database. The server system further includes a trail maintenance interface accessible by users affiliated with an authorized group to edit the trail data, trail condition information, and points-of-interest information associated with the authorized group. The server system includes a location data management system configured to receive location data, allowing a rider to publish location information to one or more other riders, and a user feedback interface configured to receive trip data from riders for publication, including information describing an actual route and user data associated with that route.

Abstract: A method for connecting drill pipe to a drillstring in a wellbore includes positioning a lower section of drill pipe within a rotary slips and setting the rotary slips. The method includes positioning an upper section of drill pipe over a lower section of drill pipe and signaling an iron roughneck to extend toward a joint of the lower section of drill pipe and upper section of drill pipe. The method includes raising the iron roughneck to a height such that opposing tongs are positioned above and below the joint between the upper section of drill pipe and the lower section of drill pipe, spinning the upper section of drill pipe into the lower section of drill pipe, clamping onto the lower section of drill pipe with the tongs of the iron roughneck, and spinning the upper section of drill pipe into the lower section of drill pipe.

Abstract: A combination beverage brewer with cold water supply is embodied within a housing, to furnish a beverage brewing segment, at one or more locations within a housing, and a water chilling or cooling supply disposed in association therewith, to supply cold water as required. The beverage brewer incorporates a hot water tank, a heating element therein, which hot water is delivered to a spray head for deposit onto a basket of grounds for brewing of a beverage. In addition, hot water may be tapped from the tank and delivered to a faucet for direct dispensing. The cold water segment of the apparatus includes a cold water tank, a cooling rod therein, cooling module for operating as a heat pump for extracting warmth from the water to heat it, and delivery of the extracted heat to a heat sink, for dissipation.

Abstract: A modularized fabricated custom formed beverage brewer of the type incorporating a component housing containing a hot water heating tank regulated by controls, with the heated water from the tank being further transferred to a spray head assembly, for discharge onto a basket of beverage grounds for dripping of a brewed beverage into a decanter for its consumption, the housing receiving its water from a cold water inlet or by a pour-in deliver of water, the housing being convertible for multiple usage through replacement and relocation of select of its components, the housing incorporating a base member, an upright column, and an upper cantilevered portion, the housing being formed for disposition either as front, left, or right side delivery form of brewer, legs may be provided for supporting the housing, and additional or multiple warming units may be coupled with the housing to facilitate its convenient usage.

Abstract: A modular fabricated custom formed beverage brewer of the type incorporating a component housing form containing a hot water heating tank regulated by controls, for heating water delivered to the tank by one of an automatic cold water inlet supply or by a pour-in type of delivery, with the heated from the tank being further transferred to a spray head assembly for discharge onto a basket of beverage grounds for dripping of a brewed beverage into a decanter for its consumption, the housing being convertible for multiple usage through replacement and relocating of select of its components during assembly of the brewer housing, the brewer housing incorporation a base member, an upright column, and an upper cantilevered portion, mounting upon and extending forwardly of the upright column, the combined housing disposing front, left and right sides for the brewer, and the brewer being adaptable for providing one of a front, left or right side delivery of the decanter to and from the brewer during usage, with the ho
