20150324074 | Digital Book Graphical Navigator - This touch-screen computer graphical user interface navigation mechanism consists of a horizontally oriented list of miniature images representing pages in a digital book. From any page, the user can quickly navigate to any other page in the book by performing a two-finger tap, swiping the list left or right, and selecting an image to go to that page. When the book contains chapters, a secondary list is used to navigate through the book chapters. The miniature images in the lists are displayed in the same order as the pages and chapters in the book, from beginning to end. The user swipes left or right, swiftly or slowly, forward or backward, to the desired page. The user selects the miniature image to navigate to the page. With the two-finger tap and these sliding lists, the user can quickly and easily navigate through the chapters and pages of a digital book. | 11-12-2015 |

20100094414 | System and method to reduce surface contact between optic and haptic areas - Embodiments of the present invention provide an intraocular lens with an optic zone having a first surface topology and a haptic zone having a second surface topology. The surface roughness of the haptic zone may be greater than the surface roughness of the optic zone. The surface topology of the optic zone may have a first surface geometry and the surface topology of the haptic zone may have a second surface geometry. The first and second surface geometries may retain lubrication fluid in a space formed therein. The haptics formed by the manufacturing process may have a reduced ability to adhere to the optic zone, such as when the lens is folded or advanced through a cannula. | 04-15-2010 |

20100319906 | Shear Seal Blowout Preventer - A shear/seal ram provides a knife edge at the shearing edge and the knife edge is inclined to minimize the cutting force required and to leave a clean cut edge. The knife edge is presented in an opening of the ram, thus the opening is positioned at the axis of the BOP, and consequently the coiled tubing, before the coiled tubing is run through the BOP. A biasing means, such as for example a Bellville spring, forces a sealing sleeve against the underside of the ram to prevent leakage of pressure from below the BOP. Similarly, a plurality of biasing means, referred to herein as “skates”, forces the ram down against the sealing sleeve to seal pressure from above the BOP. | 12-23-2010 |
20120055679 | System and Method for Rescuing a Malfunctioning Subsea Blowout Preventer - A pair of rescue vehicles are deployed on deployment cables to force the shear ram of a sub-sea BOP to shut if it should malfunction. The rescue vehicles may be provided with a camera for remote operation from the surface. The rescue vehicles include securing arms to mate with receiving means on the BOP or its enclosure. The securing arms actuate hydraulic means to release the BOP shear ram piston from hydraulic lock. The rescue vehicles carry their own hydraulic fluid under pressure, or hydraulic fluid pressure may be supplied from the surface or from an ROV, in order to actuate a rod which strikes the accessible BOP shear ram tail rod, forcing the shear ram shut. The rescue vehicles also carry their own securing wedges to slide down behind the vehicle rod, securely holding the BOP shear ram shut. | 03-08-2012 |
20120125622 | WELLSITE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING SAME - A system and method for replacing equipment at a wellsite is provided. The wellsite has a subsea stripper installed proximate a subsea borehole. The system has a conveyance for delivering a BHA into the subsea borehole. The system has a subsea stripper having a central bore for passing the conveyance and the BHA therethrough, and at least one actuator connected to the subsea stripper for actuating a packer whereby the wellbore is sealed. The system has at least one replaceable seal assembly for installation within the stripper. The replaceable seal assembly has at least one packer extendable within the subsea stripper to form a seal thereabout and at least one locator sleeve for positioning the seal assembly in an install position within the subsea stripper. The replaceable seal assembly has a frangible member for connecting the seal assembly to the conveyance prior to deployment in the subsea stripper. | 05-24-2012 |

20120203760 | AUTOMATICALLY OBTAINING REAL-TIME, GEOGRAPHICALLY-RELEVANT PRODUCT INFORMATION FROM HETEROGENEUS SOURCES - Techniques for obtaining geographically-relevant product inventory information, in real-time, from heterogeneous data sources are described. Product inventory information, including the volume of available products in specific geographical locations, is obtained from at least three different sources. First, one or more data feeds may be received. Second, a data obtaining module uses one or more APIs to obtain product inventory information from one or more third-party inventory management systems. Finally, a structured data mining module uses a web crawler, at the direction of a crawler configuration, to systematically obtain product inventory information from various third-party websites. Accordingly, a user's search query is processed to provide geographically relevant product inventory information in near real time. | 08-09-2012 |
20140067786 | ENHANCING PRODUCT SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS USING USER CLICK HISTORY - In an example embodiment, previous search queries and clicked-on results are retrieved. This results in one or more pairs, each pair containing a query from the search term database and a first set of search engine results from the click database. Then a score is calculated for each feature within the one or more pairs, and a second set of search queries is boosted using the scores for the features. | 03-06-2014 |
