Abstract: A deviation detection method includes obtaining first and second images of first and second electrode sheets, respectively, of an electrode assembly during winding using first and second cameras. The method further includes determining whether the first and/or second camera is deviated according to a distance from a reference point in the first and/or second image to a specific position, which is a position of a same object appearing in the first image and the second image. The method also includes determining whether the electrode assembly is deviated according to a vertical distance from the reference point in the first image to a boundary of the first electrode sheet and a vertical distance from the reference point in the second image to a boundary of the second electrode sheet if the first camera and the second camera are not deviated.

Abstract: A packer assembly for an annular blowout preventer includes an annular packer, a plurality of inserts, and a support. The plurality of inserts is arranged circumferentially about the annular packer and configured to move radially inward to enable the packer assembly to move from an open position in which the packer assembly enables fluid flow through a central bore to a closed position in which the packer assembly blocks fluid flow through the central bore. The support is positioned below the plurality of inserts with respect to a height of the packer assembly and is configured to block at least a portion of the annular packer from moving into an opening extending through the annular packer in the closed position.

Abstract: Disclosed are polymeric compositions with improved breakdown strength. The polymeric compositions contain a polyolefin and a voltage stabilizing agent, which is selected from one or more of a group of three specific triazine compounds. The present polymeric compositions exhibit improved breakdown strength when applied as an insulating layer for power cable.

Abstract: A device may receive information associated with establishing a gateway connection. The gateway connection may be an ad hoc connection to a user device that permits the user device to transfer network traffic to/from a base station via another user device and without the user device directly connecting to the base station via a radio access network. The information being associated with determining that a gateway establishment condition is satisfied. The device may cause the gateway connection to be established based on the information associated with establishing the gateway connection. The device may cause the user device to utilize the gateway connection to transfer network traffic to/from the base station.

Abstract: Service life characteristics of an elastomer component used for sealing in a BOP are monitored. Measurements are made in situ on the BOP while deployed at a wellsite. The measurements can be related to contact pressure and/or sealing pressure of elastomer components in an annular BOP. The measurements are used to monitor the service life of the elastomer component.

Abstract: An annular blowout preventer includes a housing, an annular packer positioned within the housing, and an annular piston assembly positioned within the housing. An annular contacting surface of the annular piston is configured to contact the annular packer while the annular blowout preventer is in the open position. The annular blowout preventer also includes a plurality of inserts extending axially through the annular packer and arranged circumferentially within the annular packer. The annular piston is configured to drive the annular packer in an axial direction within the housing, thereby compressing the annular packer, causing the plurality of inserts to rotate radially inwardly, and moving the annular blowout preventer from the open position to a closed position.

Abstract: A blowout preventer (“BOP”) for sealing against an object includes a housing comprising a bore extending through the housing with the object being extendable through the bore. The BOP further includes a packer assembly movably positioned within the housing and configured to form a seal within the housing. The packer assembly includes a body comprising an elastomeric material and an insert at least partially positioned within the body. The insert comprises a harder material section and a softer material section with respect to the harder material section and configured to deform against the object.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a reinforced polypropylene comprising a multi-modal molecular weight distribution elastomer and a block composite.

Abstract: A device may receive, from multiple user devices associated with a shared identifier, registration information that includes a unique identifier for each user device of the multiple user devices, and capability information that identifies one or more capabilities of each user device. The device may store the registration information. The device may receive, from a service provider device, a query associated with providing a service, requiring a particular capability, to at least one of the user devices associated with the shared identifier. The query may include the shared identifier. The device may determine, based on the query and the stored registration information, a set of unique identifiers associated with the shared identifier, and may determine a set of capabilities corresponding to each unique identifier. The device may provide, to the service provider device, information that identifies the set of unique identifiers and the set of capabilities.

Abstract: A polymeric composition suitable for blown film applications comprising a) 80 to 99.5 percent by weight of a continuous polymeric phase comprising a polyolefin, and b) 0.5 to 20 percent by weight of polymeric particles having i) an average particle diameter of 0.85 to 20 ?m; ii) a refractive index from 1.46 to 1.61; iii) an average particle hardness from 1.2367E+10 N/m2 to 8.4617E+10 N/m2; and iv) at least 60% polymerized acrylic monomer units, is disclosed.

Abstract: A device receives, from an application server, a message destined for a user equipment, and reformats the message into a non-access stratum (NAS) transparent message. The device also provides, to a home subscriber server, a query for an identification of a mobility management entity serving the user equipment, and receives, from the home subscriber server, the identification of the mobility management entity serving the user equipment. The device further provides the NAS transparent message to the identified mobility management entity, where the mobility management entity forwards the NAS transparent message to the user equipment.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide an emergency call support service in which a network device of a visited network obtains user profile data of a wireless device from a home network of the wireless device, and provides the user profile data to a location server of the visited network. The emergency call support service allows an emergency call, when initiated by a roaming subscriber of the wireless device via the visited network, to include the user profile data and be provided to a public safety access point.

Abstract: A system may receive a registration request that identifies a first user device identifier. The system may determine that the first user device identifier is not registered. The system may transmit an authentication challenge. The authentication challenge may request one or more credentials associated with a subscriber profile. The first user device identifier may be associated with the subscriber profile. The system may cause the first user device identifier to be registered based on a challenge response. The first user device identifier may be registered based on a result of authenticating the registration request. The system may receive subscriber information that is associated with the first user device identifier, based on causing the first user device identifier to be registered. The system may determine that the subscriber information identifies a second user device that may be associated with the subscriber profile. The system may provide a notification.
