20130279831 | BAG CLOSURE CONSTRUCTION - A bag construction has a sheet of material in the form of a flattened tube having front and back panels defining sides and where the tube has an open end. There is a line of weakness proceeding from the open end of the bag through the front and back panels. The line of weakness is located substantially centrally with respect to the sides of the bag and sized so that when the line of weakness is torn, two opposing lengths of material are formed. The lengths sized to allow the tying of a knot thereby, so as to substantially seal the open end of the bag. | 10-24-2013 |

20130327519 | TUBING TEST SYSTEM - A technique facilitates preparation of a tubing string, such as a tubing string located in a well. For example, a ball seat member may be mounted in a tubular of a tubing string. A system is coupled to the ball seat member to enable rotation of the ball seat member between cycles. Additionally, a cycle control system is employed in cooperation with the system coupled to the ball seat member to provide control over the number of cycles. Multiple tubing integrity tests may be performed while the system ball seat member is run in hole. Additionally, the system may be used to set a hydraulic packer. | 12-12-2013 |
