During production, the new-generation Cyclone vortex separation system, positioned below the ESP, uses centrifugal force to separate sand, with the now-clean fluids diverted through the discharge ports and into the pump intake. Consequently, a cleaner production stream is produced through the pump, while the separated sand and other solids fall through, or are captured, in the tailpipe tubing. Depending on the well configuration, the captured solids are either flushed down the rat hole or delivered to surface for disposal.

FROM THE EDITOR: Pelz’s data eventually led to the PGA Tour’s decision to establish and execute its ShotLink program, the extensive and accurate system of measuring Tour player performance—in real time—for the benefit of both fans tracking at home and for the players themselves as part of their own self-assessments.

When using a tripod in loose sand, in snow, or on the beach, you can have an unstable surface. Especially at the beach when the surf is displacing the sand constantly, the tripod will loose its stability with every wave. By enlarging the surface of the legs you can avoid that. Some tripods have special disks for that, but you can also use CDs or DVDs, or better still, drinking cups. Just place every leg into a cup and you have more stability.

Systems and methods for automated determination of network device transiting data attributes Patent No. 10,348,607A system for determining network device transiting data attributes includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to run a first script on all static ports of a network and run a second script on all known ports of the network. The system may parse the parameters returned from the first and second scripts to identify one or more identified ports of the known ports. The system may run a third script on the one or more identified ports to force one or more denials at the identified ports. Based on the one or more denials, the system may determine network device transiting data attributes including but not limited to allowed protocols and directionality for each of the one or more identified ports.Inventors: Eric Barnum (Midlothian, Va.), Terence Banks (Culpeper, Va.)Assignee: Capital One Services (McLean, Va.)July 9, 2019

The audible level alarm is great for the times when you can’t see the display and/or when you need complete precision. It’s almost a European level of tolerance at 0.0005-inch. Nothing in the US is measured to that tight of a tolerance. Acceptable tolerance is within 1/8-inch, but we build within 1/32 when possible.
