20130248209 | HIGH PRESSURE TIE BACK RECEPTACLE AND SEAL ASSEMBLY - A tie back assembly and method of use is presented. In one method, a tie back seal mandrel is inserted into a tie back receptacle. Both the inner surface of the tie back receptacle and the outer surface of the seal mandrel are tapered to cooperate when mated.

20130192830 | Limited Depth Abrasive Jet Cutter - Tools and methods for abrasively cutting downhole pipes and casing. The tools and methods are ideally suited for situations where the pipe to be cut or perforated is positioned partly or wholly inside another pipe and damage to the outer pipe must be avoided. The jet nozzles are positioned at a non-normal angle to the target surface to reduce the jets' effective cutting distance. While pumping the abrasive fluid, the jets are supported at a selected radial distance from the target surface so that within a predetermined operating time the jets will cut or perforate the inner pipe but leave the outer pipe substantially intact. The tool may be rotated with a motor to perform cutoff operations or held in a fixed position for perforating. | 08-01-2013 |
20140048247 | HYDRAULIC JAR WITH LOW RESET FORCE - A hydraulic jar for delivering impacts downhole. The jarring mechanism includes a cup-type piston that moves through a seal bore. The cup is deformable in response to fluid pressure so that it expands each time it moves through the seal bore to compensate for wear on the lip. Since only minimum interference is required between the piston and seal bore, less material may be used. This reduces the force required to reset the tool, which is particularly advantageous in horizontal wells. The seal bore may be slightly wider at the exit; the cup expands to this exit diameter, ensuring an interference fit as the cup travels back through the smaller diameter entry section. The entry end of the seal bore may include longitudinal grooves. This prevents the piston cup from rupturing by preventing a fluid seal around the lip until the most of cup is inside the seal bore. | 02-20-2014 |

The chemical attractant induces the target insect to lay eggs on the non-host plant. The resulting offspring die of starvation from refusing to feed on the non-host plant. The non-host plant and plant of interest contain at least one common chemical. The methods, kits, and products for controlling a target insect population using an extract from a non-host plant are also disclosed. The non-host plant extract is applied to the plant of interest, and when ingested or applied directly to the target insect, kills the target insect or causes it to develop with deformities. | 06-12-2014 |

20140287065 | Oral Administration of Electrolyzed Water for Treatment and Prevention of PEDv in Swine, Swine Herds and Swine Confinements - Pigs infected with PEDv often die due to dehydration caused by diarrhea. Those that survive do not reach market weight as scheduled resulting in costs to the producer. The invention includes providing electrolyzed water either as treatment for infected animals or as a prophylactic against symptom severity in uninfected animals. The electrolyzed water is used as a substitute for or as a solution with regular drinking water. Duration of symptoms for infected pigs is markedly lessened; severity of symptoms is also reduced providing a much higher survival rate. Time to market is less negatively affected for surviving pigs than those untreated, and weight at scheduled time for sale is also less effected translating into positive financial results over those expected for untreated herds. | 09-25-2014 |

20140277755 | CONTROL OF A MACHINE - A method and apparatus for actuating a machine is provided in which a relaxed abduction problem is determined in order to explain the greatest possible part of the observations with the fewest possible assumptions. Based upon two preference orders over a subset of observations and a subset of assumptions, tuples are determined so that the theory together with the subset of assumptions explains the subset of observations. On the basis of the formal validity of the approach certain characteristics of the set of results (such as correctness, completeness, etc.) are checked. By the choice of underlying representational language and the preference relations, the complexity of the problem-solving process is influenced and thus flexibly adapted with regard to domain requirements. The invention may be used for any machines, e.g. gas turbines or steam turbines. | 09-18-2014 |
20140297578 | PROCESSING A TECHNICAL SYSTEM - A method for processing a technical system is provided to predict a technical system's state and/or to provide a diagnosis of the technical system or at least one of its components. The prediction is determined based on a model-based complex event processing (CEP) approach using declarative models. This facilitates considering complex information sources as input data and allows providing a diagnosis based on diagnostic models, wherein the models can be interpreted and/or changed even by users who are not programmers. In addition, time and/or temporal relations can be modeled and considered and an open world assumption can be incorporated to allow more valuable assessments of diagnoses. The invention is applicable for all kinds of technical systems, e.g., industry and automation systems comprising in particular rotating devices and/or generators. | 10-02-2014 |

20140308694 | ENDODONTIC IMAGING - A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of the viable cells in an endodontic sample in or taken from an endodontic cavity in the tooth, such as the root canal, enables the rapid and low cost identification of the presence or absence of bacteria or other viable cell tissue in the endodontic space by first incubating a viable cell indicator with an endodontic sample for a pre-determined period suitable for chair-side test and then measuring and/or detecting a change in a parameter (e.g. fluorescence) associated with the viable cell indicator. Thereby, the required level of root canal treatment can be reached which minimizes the risk of re-infection without the time, cost and potentially harm of over-preparation and over treatment by the dental surgeon or of a re-treatment. | 10-16-2014 |
