20140353919 | SURFACE POSITIONING FOR COMPRESSIBLE SEAL ARRANGEMENT - An apparatus is disclosed, which may include a first member having a first planar surface, and a first displacing structure. The first displacing structure may have a displacing surface and a latching surface. The apparatus may also include a second member having a second planar surface and a second displacing structure. The second displacing structure may have a displacing surface and a latching surface. A compressible seal may be affixed to the second planar surface. Contact between the displacing surfaces during parallel movement of the first planar surface relative to the second planar surface may create a separation between the planar surfaces greater than the compressible seal height. Positioning of the displacing surfaces past each other during parallel movement of the first planar surface relative to the second planar surface may initiate the compression of the compressible seal between the planar surfaces. | 12-04-2014 |
20150076839 | COMPONENT AND LOW PROFILE FLEXIBLE LATCH ASSEMBLY - Latch assembly including a latch arm, having first and second length edges and first and second width edges. The latch arm includes a latch pawl, a pivot connector, and a stabilizing member, positioned in a plane. The latch pawl connected to the first width edge and providing spring force resisting deflection non-parallel to the plane. The pivot connector and stabilizing member formed within an area of the latch arm. The stabilizing member extending distally relative to the second width edge to the pivot connector, and providing spring force resisting deflection parallel to the plane. The component and latch assembly including a component having first and second faces being adjacent and perpendicular. The latch arm rotatably mounted on the second face between latched and unlatched positions. Assembly including an embossment positioned to deflect the latch pawl during latching so the latch arm sits raised upon the embossment in the latched position. | 03-19-2015 |
20150127671 | MANAGING A TEMPLATE IN AN OPERATOR GRAPH - Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, system, and computer program product for managing a template on an operator graph. The method for managing a template on an operator graph can include receiving the template for processing a stream of tuples. The template can have a plurality of template elements operating on one or more computer processors. The method can include calculating a resource requirement of a template element from the template. The method can include calculating a resource availability of a virtual machine. The method can include allocating the template onto the operator graph. The operator graph can have a plurality of processing elements operating on one or more computer processors. The method can also include mapping the template element from the template onto the virtual machine as a function of the resource requirement of the template element and the resource availability of the virtual machine. | 05-07-2015 |
20150128131 | MANAGING VIRTUAL MACHINE PATTERNS - Managing virtual machine patterns, including: identifying resource utilization of each virtual machine within a first virtual machine pattern having a first group of resources; determining resource requirements of one or more applications executing on one or more virtual machines within the first virtual machine pattern; based on the resource utilization and the determined resource requirements, identifying a second virtual machine pattern having a second group of resources; and deploying at least one of the one or more applications executing on the one or more virtual machines within the first virtual machine pattern onto one or more virtual machines of the second virtual machine pattern. | 05-07-2015 |
20150128135 | MANAGING A TEMPLATE IN AN OPERATOR GRAPH - Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, system, and computer program product for managing a template on an operator graph.

20130292183 | CENTRALIZER - A centralizer includes a centralizer body to be situated at the outer surface of a pipe string in the form of casing, liner, or the like used while drilling, the centralizer body being formed with a plurality of outer centralizer blades arranged in an inclined manner to the longitudinal axis thereof, wherein the centralizer body has an separate split inner tube secured to the pipe string by means of a press fit, and low friction inner surface of the centralizer body and separate center tube facing each other are made from low friction material. | 11-07-2013 |
20140034391 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRILLING AND LINING A WELLBORE - Apparatus for drilling and lining a wellbore is described herein. A method of drilling and lining a wellbore is also described herein. A liner hanger is provided, secured in use on a liner. The liner hanger is operable selectively to be set and unset. The liner hanger is adapted to support the liner within an existing casing when set and to release the liner from the casing when unset. A liner hanger setting tool is provided, secured in use on a drill string. The liner hanger setting tool is actuatable selectively to set and unset the liner hanger. The liner hanger setting tool is operable selectively to be activated and deactivated. The liner hanger setting tool is adapted to attach to the liner and/or liner hanger when activated, to support the liner, and to release from the liner and/or liner hanger when deactivated. The method comprises the following steps: (a) setting the liner hanger by actuating the liner hanger setting tool; (b) deactivating the liner hanger setting tool; (c) extending the borehole using the drill string; (d) returning the drill string to its position at the setting step or the deactivating step; (e) activating the liner hanger setting tool; (f) unsetting the liner hanger by actuating the liner hanger setting tool; and (g) lowering the liner down the extended borehole on the drill string. | 02-06-2014 |
20140054036 | Apparatus and Method for Drilling a Wellbore, Setting a Liner and Cementing the Wellbore During a Single Trip - A method of forming a wellbore is provided that in one embodiment includes conveying an inner string and an outer string downhole; attaching the inner string to the outer string at a first location and forming the wellbore; and attaching the inner string to the outer string at a second location uphole of the first location and cementing an annulus between the outer string and the wellbore, without retrieving the inner string from the wellbore. | 02-27-2014 |
