20110296612 | BED SHEET FOR SECURE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD - The present invention relates more specifically to a bed sheet for secure placement of a child which provides breathable elements and/or a truss for preventing the child from being crushed or suffocated when a parent occupies a bed with the child. The bed sheet comprises at least one bumper extending upwardly from the top surface of the sheet. The bumpers form a substantially continuous closed wall that defines a secure area for the child to be placed. In one aspect of the invention, the bumper has an air flow passage that prevents suffocation of the child if the child's mouth and nose are forced against the bumper. In another aspect of the invention, a truss is disposed across and above at least a portion of the secure area when inserted into the bumpers. | 12-08-2011 |

20160055169 | CREATING A UNIVERSALLY DEDUPLICATABLE ARCHIVE VOLUME - A method for creating a volume that contains data from an original stream of multiple files, and which can be optimally deduplicated by an underlying deduplication storage system. The method comprises receiving data records representing metadata and file data, at least a part of which are already separated, separating the metadata and the file data into a first file and a second file, the first file and the second file being paired, the first file called Metadata Volume containing metadata, header data and references to the file data, and the second file called Aligned Volume containing file data only. A further part of the records which contain both metadata and file data are separated into metadata and file data and then subjected to the step of separating the metadata and the file data into the first file and the second file. | 02-25-2016 |

20110048803 | DRILLING CUTTINGS MOBILIZER - A rotating drill string sub redistributes wellbore drill cuttings into the drilling fluid flowstream to improve the efficiency of the drilling operation. Standoff elements are located on each side of an agitator, all configured on a relatively short section of drill pipe. The agitator comprises a plurality of alternating blades standing radially outward from and arranged helically about the axis of the sub, and grooves located between pairs of adjacent blades, each groove comprising a flow channel that is open at both ends of the agitator. The standoff elements contain abutment surfaces having an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of the agitator, so that the agitator is prevented from contacting the wall of the wellbore and therefore does not experience the forces that the standoff elements experience. | 03-03-2011 |
