20090006619Directory Snapshot Browser - Embodiments of the systems and methods expose a form of backup data, referred to as snapshot data, to an online server. The snapshot data is copy of the directory system at a time in the past. The snapshot data, in embodiments, is exposed as an LDAP server database, which can be manipulated by one or more tools. Thus, the snapshot data is available to online servers to view, to compare, to restore, or to accomplish other actions on the data within the snapshot without server downtime.01-01-2009

20110220710Virtual Reader for Processing Applications - A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for the automated processing and scoring of applications. Application reader resources are selected to read and score individual categories of the application. The difference between the respective reader scores and an average delta value for each category of each application that the selected readers have previously score is calculated. The standard deviation of the average delta value for each category is calculated. If the selected reader's score for that category is not within one standard deviation of the average delta value, then the selected reader's score is adjusted the least amount necessary to be so. An additional application reader is selected to read and score the application. Reading and scoring operations are continued until at least two reader scores are within one standard deviation of the average of the adjusted scores. Final scoring of all applications is performed and the scored applications are ranked in descending order.09-15-2011

20090264321COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR RECOVERING HYDROCARBON FLUIDS FROM A SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR - This invention is directed to a composition comprising encapsulated expandable polymeric microparticles including expandable base microparticles encapsulated in a shell of at least one layer of a labile or degradable encapsulation material. The encapsulated microparticles have an unexpanded volume average particle size diameter of from about 0.05 to about 5,000 microns. The invention is further directed to the use of the composition for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations.10-22-2009
20090264324COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR RECOVERING HYDROCARBON FLUIDS FROM A SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR - This invention is directed to a composition comprising crosslinked expandable polymeric microparticles comprising structured polymers having labile crosslinks or having a labile core and non-labile crosslinks. The starting configuration of the structured polymers constrains the microparticle to an unexpanded volume average particle size diameter of from about 0.05 to about 5,000 microns. Labile crosslinks or the labile core of the structured polymers are subject to degradation which results expansion of the microparticle. The invention is further directed to the use of the composition for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations.10-22-2009

20090260819COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIVERTING INJECTED FLUIDS TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED HYDROCARBON FLUID RECOVERY - The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods that may be used for enhanced oil recovery, for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and for increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations. The compositions may include, for example, expandable cross linked polymeric microparticles having an unexpanded volume average particle size diameter of from about 0.05 to about 5,000 microns and a cross linking agent content of from about 100 to about 200,000 ppm of hydrolytically labile silyl ester or silyl ether crosslinkers and from 0 to about 300 ppm of non-labile crosslinkers.10-22-2009
20090260820BLOCK COPOLYMERS FOR RECOVERING HYDROCARBON FLUIDS FROM A SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR - The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods that may be used for enhanced oil recovery, for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations and for increasing the mobilization and/or recovery rate of hydrocarbon fluids present in the formations. The compositions may include, for example, expandable cross-linked polymeric microparticles having unexpanded volume average particle size diameters of from about 0.05 to about 5,000 microns and cross linking agent contents of from about 100 to about 200,000 ppm of labile cross linkers and from 0 to about 300 ppm of non-labile cross linkers, wherein the expandable polymeric monomers have a block copolymer structure comprising at least two different monomers having different chemical structures.10-22-2009

20100204361NOVEL MULTIFUNCTIONAL AZO INITIATORS FOR FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATIONS: METHODS OF PREPARATION - The invention provides compositions of matter, methods of their synthesis, and methods of their use in polymerization reactions. The compositions include polyfunctional initiators used to make star polymers when polymerized with monomers. The polyfunctional initiators are synthesized out of a multifunctional core with at least two functional groups and two or more initiator units bonded to the functional groups. The initiator units have two electron-withdrawing groups bonded to a central carbon atom and an azo group between the central carbon atom and the functional group. The polyfunctional initiators are particularly effective because when they decompose to form the radical core of a star polymer, the electron-withdrawing groups prevent the corresponding radical from forming any linear polymer contamination and only desired star polymers result.08-12-2010

20100149732Non-reciprocal device having grounding arrangement and method of installation thereof - A structure of a high frequency non-reciprocal passive device, such as circulator/isolator and method of installation. The structure includes a substantially rigid lip with cutouts for hot leads to go through. The walls of the cutout are situated in close proximity and symmetrically to the leads. The structure also having mounting holes. The installation process includes a step of putting the structure into a pocket in a carrier wherein a defined amount of a low heat transfer/electrical resistance substance, for example a grease, is located. The size of the lip is larger than the size of the pocket. Therefore the structure is supported on the rim of the pocket, while its portion which is under the lip and having smaller size is located in the pocket. Mounting screws can provide a predetermined pressure to the carrier by the device housing. By this, the lip is provided a reliable grounding in close proximity to the hot leads of the device, while the gap between the bottom of the pocket and the housing of the device is also defined and kept.06-17-2010
