Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: A single or double post sign structure that is configured to accommodate the attachment of panels to one or both sides of a vertical upright. The sign panel is provided with keyed indentations that are located at the top and bottom edges of the panel to permit capture and rigid securement of the sign panel by a pair of retaining buttons that are used to anchor the sign panel to the sign post. Each retaining button is provided with protrusions corresponding to the keyed indentations of the sign panel. As a result, when the protrusion of the retaining button is engaged and seated in the keyed indentation of the sign panel, it becomes locked in place so that there is no room for lateral movement or removal of the panel. As a result, vandals or thieves are prevented from laterally sliding the sign panel to improperly remove it.

Title: Method to determine rock properties from drilling logs
Inventor: DE REYNAL MICHEL
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2009-02-06
Granted: 2015-10-06
Abstract: A method of identifying one or more rock properties and/or one or more abnormalities occurring within a subterranean formation. The method includes obtaining a plurality of drilling parameters, which include at least the rate of penetration, the weight on bit, and the bit revolutions per minute, and then normalizing these plurality of drilling parameters by calculating a depth of cut and an intrinsic drilling impedance. Typically, the intrinsic drilling impedance is specific to the type of bit used to drill the wellbore and includes using a plurality of drill bit constants. From this intrinsic drilling impedance, the porosity and/or the rock strength may be determined which is then compared to the actual values to identify the specific type of the one or more abnormalities occurring. Additionally, the intrinsic drilling impedance may be compared to other logging parameters to also identify the specific type of the one or more abnormalities occurring.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the presence status in an instant messaging application on a mobile device is provided. An active notification profile for the mobile device which has been selected from a plurality of existing notification profiles defined for the mobile device is determined, e.g. on a periodic or dynamic basis. A set of one or more rules is then used to compare the active notification profile to the rules and determine which one of a selected presence status for the corresponding profile is appropriate. A notification is then prepared which pertains to the corresponding presence status for the active notification profile. Using the notification, the corresponding presence status can be compared to the current presence status in the instant messaging application so that the presence can be updated automatically according to changes in notification profiles to avoid the need to change both the profiles and the presence status when the environment changes.
