Abstract: An attachment plate (1)is used to attach insulation panels (57) to building substrates (59) using an internal combustion cordless nail setting tool (55) loaded with nails (77) held in collating strips (79) for feeding and holding them in a magazine. The attachment plate (1) has a washer (2) and an annular chamber (51) at a first end. A wall of the annular chamber is defined by a band of fingers. The interior of the attachment plate (1) has a recess (30). The attachment plate (1) second end has flexible tabs. The attachment plate (1) is placed on a pilot (67) and against a flange (65) of a tool adapter (63). The attachment plate (1) is pushed into the insulation panel (57) such that the tool muzzle bends and passes through the fingers (45). When the tool (55) is fired, a nail (77) and nail collating ring (79) are forced into and captured within the recess (30). The tabs (41) bend against the substrate (59) if the insulation panel (57) is of less than nominal thickness.

Abstract: A bidirectional disappearing plug member (102) and plug assembly is capable of blocking pressurized fluid flow from opposing axial directions in a flowbore (116). In one embodiment, the plug member (102), which blocks flow through the flowbore (116), may be readily and at least partially dissolved through the application of at least one pressurization and depressurization within a tubing string above the plug assembly. Construction of the plug assembly permits the plug member to be conveniently emplaced in a fluid-filled wellbore by permitting fluid flow (210) around the plug member (102) during the emplacement process. The plug member may then be secured within the plug assembly to block fluid flow from either axial direction. Operation of a plug rupture sleeve (220) or mandrel, for at least partially dissolving the plug member, may be controlled by a ratchet assembly or linear indexing apparatus requiring multiple pressurizations and depressurizations before the plug member is exposed to wellbore fluids and thereby at least partially dissolved.

Abstract: A method for compressing digital image data with greyscale values comprises making at least three predictions of the greyscale value of each pixel and comparing the predicted values with the actual value of the pixel. The difference values between the respective predicted values and the actual value of each pixel is computed, and the median difference value of the three difference values is selected for bit coding. Bit coding is carried out by using variable length bit codes, the shortest length bit code being assigned to the most frequently occurring median difference value. The coded values of the median differences are bit packed, and in the case of a pixel where the absolute median difference value exceeds a predetermined value, the actual pixel value is bit packed.
