", "However, the eclipse phase of the faustovirus is longer than the mimivirus, taking place from 4 to 6 hours post infection. ", "Characterized by a loss of its spherical shape and a decrease in surface area, the amoeba host cell undergoes reorganization, such that at 8 to 10 hours post infection there are new particles in a region forming a donut shape. ", "This region is the viral factory; it is distinct from the nucleus and is surrounded by mitochondria.

[ "(1) Field of the Invention\nThis invention relates in general to earth boring drill pipe and to hardsurfacing of tool joints or connection members relative to the drill pipe.", "\n(2) Description of the Prior Art\nThe most common drill pipe used in earth boring operations have connection members or tool joints on each end that are larger in diameter than the drill pipe. ", "Annular bands of hardfacing are commonly deposited on each tool joint. ", "One type of hardfacing has macroscopic sintered tungsten carbide granules within an alloy steel matrix. ", "Sintered tungsten carbide granules, as explained in U.S. Pat. ", "No. ", "3,800,891, comprise microscopic grains of tungsten carbide held together by a binder of an iron group metal, usually cobalt. ", "Sintered tungsten carbide hardfacing is normally applied on tool joints by rotating the tool joint, providing an arc with a consumable steel wire, discharging an inert gas around the wire, and gravity feeding sintered tungsten carbide granules into the weld puddle behind the wire.", "\nOne disadvantage of the resulting sintered tungsten carbide hardfacing is that many of the granules remain only partially embedded in the matrix, giving a rough, abrasive exterior. ", "In deep wells, intermediate strings of casing are set as the well is drilled. ", "While drilling deeper through a string of intermediate casing, the rough surface of the hardfacing can abrade and damage the casing. ", "Consequently, it is advantageous to have a hardfacing surface free of protruding tungsten carbide granules. ", "In U.S. Pat. ", "No. ", "4,243,727, entitled \"SURFACE SMOOTHED TOOL JOINT HARDFACING\", a method and apparatus is shown for hardfacing tool joints using tungsten carbide granules that results in a smooth exterior. ", "The granules are dropped directly into the arc, rather than behind the arc. ", "This concentrates the granules toward the bottom of the hardfacing deposit and results in a harder matrix near the bottom, as well.", "\nIn U.S. Pat. ", "No. ", "4,228,339, an improved method for hardsurfacing the tool joints is provided in which annular bands of hardfacing are applied using tungsten carbide granules in a steel matrix applied by means of an electrode to the welding puddle.", "\nIt has been discovered that it is extremely difficult to machine down the hardfacing containing the tungsten carbide granules, because of their extreme hardness. ", "The removal of the outer layer of tungsten carbide granules in hardfacing is necessary so that the hardfacing itself will not cut into or wear a surface of the casing through which the tool joint typically will be inserted. ", "In instances in which tungsten carbide granules are within the matrix forming the hardfacing, considerable time is required to machine down the tungsten carbide granules, thus contributing significantly to the total cost of the hardfacing operation. ", "The present invention is an improvement upon the process and product of the '339 patent, cited above, in that the puddle containing the steel matrix and the tungsten carbide granules therein is deposited in the grooves by the electrode to a given depth and thereafter the feed of granules into the weld puddle is discontinued with a continuation of the application of the puddle by the electrode to the groove to provide a protruding substantially tungsten carbide free hardfacing surface above the outer diameter of the tool joint. ", "The protruding substantially tungsten carbide free hardfacing may then be machined down to substantially the outer diameter of the tool joint. ", "Because the protruding hardfacing surface does not contain tungsten carbide granules, the machining operation may be effected with considerable savings of time and equipment.", "\nThe present invention provides a method of applying grooved bands of hardfacing on a tool joint for earth boring drill pipe, the hardfacing having tungsten carbide granules in an alloy steel matrix. ", "The method includes the steps of rotating the tool joint, providing an arc between an electrode and the tool joint to create a weld puddle. ", "The electrode is reciprocated parallel to the tool joint axis and granules are fed into the weld puddle. ", "The weld puddle with the granules is applied within the grooved bands around the exterior of the tool joint to a grooved depth of from between about 0.75 inches to about 0.150 inches. ", "Thereafter, the feed of the granules into the weld puddle is discontinued. ", "The weld puddle is continued to be applied around the tool joint and in the grooved bands to provide a protruding substantially tungsten carbide free hardfacing surface above the outer diameter of the tool joint of from between about 0.050 inches to about 0.175 inches.

[ "Those who track and follow developments in the Indian smartphone market know it’s a jungle out there, with wafer-thin margins, cutthroat rivalries, and a spec-obsessed user base that can get quite finicky. ", "91mobiles’ Great Indian Smartphone Survey 2019 is an attempt to get inside the mind of smartphone users and to figure out whether these folks are satisfied with their brand of smartphone, the issues they face on a daily basis, the features they covet and the brands they want to migrate to next. ", "With over 15,000 entries, this survey represents the true voice of the user. ", "We already gave you a sneak peek at some of the insights we gained during this massive exercise, and now it’s time for the full lowdown.", "\n\n\n\n\n\nTrends in smartphone ownership\n\nBreakup of smartphone brands people own currently\n\nLooking at the split of smartphone brands used by respondents currently, we see that Xiaomi leads with a share of 23.6 percent, followed by Samsung with a share of 21.4 percent. ", "This is indicative of the respective market share of these brands, and doesn’t really come as a surprise. ", "The real insights however, appeared when we compared this data with the set of numbers we collected during the survey we conducted last year. ", "By comparing the data, we were able to ascertain brands that have improved in popularity this year, and those that have fallen out of favour.", "\n\n\n\nSmartphone brands with the highest gain in ownership share (from 2018 to 2019)\n\nThe numbers speak for themselves and there are no two ways about this – Realme is the brand that has defined convention when it comes to increase in popularity. ", "From a measly 0.30 percent share in 2018, Realme now has a very impressive 10 percent representation among survey respondents, and that shows how quickly this brand has grown, and to what extent. ", "Catering to the spec obsession of users in the affordable segment with devices featuring loaded configurations, attractive designs and even more attractive price tags, the brand is riding the popularity wave.", "\n\nThen there’s Samsung, which might have lost its market leader crown to Xiaomi in India, but is far from being down and out. ", "The Korean giant has fought back hard, especially this year, marginally increasing its share from 19 percent last year to 21.4 percent in 2019 (based on survey data). ", "Taking on the Chinese insurgents with its new M series that includes smartphones high on value and style, Samsung is taking the fight back to its rivals. ", "It has also launched quite a few noteworthy devices in the mid range (with its A series) and made the right moves with its 2019 flagships in the S series and Note range as well.", "\n\nVivo is another brand that has shown increase in popularity. ", "This mid-range brand played on aspects like design, cameras and specs and has been very aggressive this year in terms of launching new devices, following the latest smartphone trends and pricing the handsets well. ", "The efforts seem to have paid off, with Vivo’s share among our respondents growing from 5 percent to 7 percent.", "\n\nSmartphone brands with the steepest decline in ownership share (from 2018 to 2019)\n\nAmong brands that dropped in popularity, Motorola, Honor, Nokia, Huawei and OPPO are the ones that draw attention. ", "The reasons aren’t hard to fathom. ", "Honor just hasn’t shown the same level of aggressiveness this year as compared to the past, and doesn’t have many compelling new smartphones to offer. ", "Its parent company Huawei getting hit by a US trade ban has further compounded issues, which could be the reason why Huawei is also seeing a drop. ", "On the other hand, Motorola, which was once a favourite among those looking for bang for the buck, seems to have lost the plot when it comes to pricing its devices. ", "In recent months, it has been trying to bounce back though, and has launched a few smartphones (One Vision and One Action) that seem reasonably good. ", "But whether these handsets can pull users towards Motorola in swarms and hordes remains to be seen. ", "Nokia and OPPO are seeing marginal drops as well, and for these brands, the reason could just be the fact that the competition has been much more aggressive.", "\n\n\n\nThe big surprise here is Xiaomi. ", "The numero uno brand seems to be dipping in popularity, with almost 28 percent respondents owning the company’s devices in 2018 falling to 23.6 percent in 2019. ", "While Xiaomi hasn’t swayed much from its original promise of offering phones that score high on value, it seems it has been a little slow in adopting the latest trends. ", "While the competition has been quick to launch phones with features like multiple rear cameras, in-display fingerprint scanners, pop-up selfie snappers and water drop notches, Xiaomi has been late to the party. ", "Furthermore, aggressive competition from brands like Realme hasn’t helped its cause either.", "\n\nBreakup of smartphone brands people plan to buy next\n\nWe asked survey respondents about the smartphone brands they’d want to move to whenever they upgrade their handsets next, and the insights we got don’t come across as very surprising. ", "OnePlus stands out as the brand that’s likely to take top position on the podium, with the data projecting a share of over 18 percent in the months to come. ", "Clearly, the brand’s strategy of offering flagship smartphones at relatively affordable prices, and its efforts in developing a strong community of fans and users, has paid off. ", "OnePlus is followed by Samsung and Xiaomi, as expected.", "\n\n\n\nRealme appears as a surprise contended at number 4 though, but we already know how quickly it has been growing and expanding its user base.", "\n\nHow ownership trends might change in the future\n\nWhen we compared the data on current ownership with the numbers on future ownership, we saw some pretty interesting trends. ", "The comparison shows that OnePlus is the brand likely to gain the most users in the future, with the growth pegged at over 12 percent.", "\n\nApple, which has always been an iconic, aspirational brands for most, is also showing a healthy growth of over 6 percent. ", "The other brands likely to see growth are Realme and Huawei. ", "Brands like Honor, Motorola, Samsung and Xiaomi however, might see negative growth.", "\n\n\n\nIn Xiaomi’s case specifically, it seems that prospective buyers are missing a successor to last year’s POCO F1. ", "As you might recall, Xiaomi launched a new sub brand last year in the form of POCO, with its debut offering, the POCO F1 challenging OnePlus’ claim to the flagship killer crown. ", "The POCO F1 however, is still the lone ranger in the sub brand’s portfolio, with no signs of a successor so far. ", "This is probably the reason why the percentage of folks wanting to buy a Xiaomi handset has dipped significantly from 28 percent last year to 17 percent this year. ", "That figure of 28 percent from last year includes 9 percent who wanted to buy a POCO phone, so the reason for the lower number this year seems clear as night and day.", "\n\nSmartphone features that users want\n\nWe asked users about the features they miss the most in their current handsets. ", "Based on the responds, were able to draw up a list of the most coveted features, and waterproofing tops the list. ", "Waterproofing of course, is a very handy feature to have, and provides peace of mind even if you’re a careful user and unlikely to spill liquids on your phone. ", "This feature is mostly available on premium flagship smartphones, and judging by our survey, is very much in demand with users in other segments as well, given then over 20 percent users voted in favour.", "\n\n\n\nQuick charge support is also in demand, with 19.5 percent users voting in favour. ", "The quick charge feature has now trickled down from flagships to mid-range and affordable phones, and hopefully, would get ubiquitous very soon. ", "Next, over 16 percent users voted in favour of pop-up selfie cameras, so clearly, this is another feature users would like to see in their phones.", "\n\nDemographic trends in brand preferences and ownership\n\nHow smartphone ownership stacks up within different age groups\n\nAs part of the survey exercise, we were also able to draw up insights on smartphone brands split across users in various age groups. ", "In general, Xiaomi and Realme have a larger share among users in younger age groups. ", "Over 33 percent of respondents below the age of 22 own Xiaomi handsets, while the same figure for Realme stands at almost 17 percent.", "\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, Samsung and OnePlus are more popular among people in older age groups, with 31.6 percent users in the age group of 45 and above owning Samsung, and over 8 percent owning OnePlus phones.", "\n\nHow smartphone ownership compares between genders\n\nWe also split ownership data across genders to see how brand preferences are divided between men and women. ", "Among women, the two brands that definitely seem more in favour are OPPO and Vivo. ", "For OPPO, the ownership share stands at 11 percent for women, versus 6.2 percent men. ", "For Vivo, the figures are pegged at almost 12 percent women, and 8 percent men.", "\n\n\n\nMen it seems, prefer ASUS, OnePlus and Realme. ", "For ASUS, the ownership share is tilted heavily in favour of male users, with the numbers standing at 4 percent versus 2 percent of women. ", "For OnePlus, the same numbers stand at 7 percent men against 4 percent women. ", "And for Realme, it’s 12.3 percent men versus 9 percent women.", "\n\nUser satisfaction\n\nOverall user satisfaction with current smartphone\n\n\n\nUser satisfaction is of utmost importance for any brand, regardless of the product or service they might be selling. ", "This metric is even more critical for smartphone companies, just because of the competition that exists in this industry and the vast array of options available across different price segments. ", "It’s OnePlus that takes the crown, with almost 8 in 10 of the brand’s users saying they’re satisfied with their smartphone. ", "OnePlus is followed by Realme, with 65 percent users saying they’re satisfied with the handset, while Apple, with over 63 percent users voting in favour, stands at the third position.", "\n\n\n\nWe also asked users regarding satisfaction levels with specific aspects of their current phone, and derived data points to highlight. ", "Talking about satisfaction with battery for instance, it’s ASUS that has been rated at the top, with over 75 percent users saying they’re satisfied with the battery life offered by their ASUS handset. ", "ASUS is followed by OnePlus (70 percent), and Realme (67 percent).", "\n\n\n\nComing to camera capabilities, it’s Apple that has the highest number of satisfied users (72 percent), followed by OnePlus (70 percent) and Realme (63.5 percent). ", "OPPO also has a high number of users satisfied with the camera prowess of their phones, with almost 62 percent users voting in the affirmative.", "\n\n\n\nAs far as pure performance is concerned, it’s OnePlus that ranks at the top yet again, with over 88 percent users saying they’re satisfied with the performance. ", "Then there’s Apple at almost 80 percent, and Realme at 69 percent.", "\n\nComing to display capabilities, OnePlus occupies the top spot with almost 83 percent of its users saying they’re happy with their screens. ", "Apple ranks second with over 75 percent satisfied users, and Samsung follows at third spot with 71 percent.", "\n\nSoftware is a crucial aspect for a smartphone, but many tend to ignore it and look at only hardware specs instead. ", "In terms of user satisfaction based on software, thanks to 86 percent of its users voting in favour, OnePlus comes up at the top spot again. ", "Then there’s Apple with 81 percent votes, and Nokia with 67.5 percent satisfied users. ", "Surprisingly, Motorola ranks at the bottom of the list, which is strange since just like Nokia, most of Motorola’s phones run the stock Android One platform.", "\n\nService quality\n\nA whopping 55 percent survey respondents said they had to take their phone in for service at a service centre, which is a pretty high number if you ask us. ", "Clearly, smartphone brands need to do a lot more when it comes to quality control. ", "On a positive note, a large percentage of those who visited service centres rated their experience as very good or good.", "\n\n\n\nWhen the data on service quality was split by brand, it was OnePlus that took the lead with almost 79 percent users saying they are satisfied with the quality of service they received. ", "Apple follows with 78 percent votes, while OPPO appears as the best mid-range brand in the list with 64 percent votes.", "\n\nBrand loyalty among smartphone users\n\nThe most value for money brands\n\n\n\nOnePlus and Realme, unsurprisingly, rank at the top as smartphone brands delivering great value. ", "With almost 88 percent OnePlus users rating their phones 4 or higher (on a scale of 5) on value, the brand tops the chart. ", "Focussing on user experience, and offering solid specs at reasonable pricing has clearly worked in its favour. ", "Next up is Realme with 83.3 percent users rating it 4 or higher on value. ", "Its high-specced, yet affordable phones are the reason behind this.", "\n\nBrand loyalty\n\n\n\nA loyal set of users are what most brands want, since these folks not only come back as repeat customers, but also spread the word and recommend the brand to others. ", "In this all-important aspect, OnePlus leads yet again, with almost 63 percent of the brand’s users saying they’ll buy a device from the same company whenever they upgrade their phones next. ", "Apple follows closely with 62 percent votes.

Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction\n\nBecause federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 does not lie in Medicare reimbursement cases, see Shalala v. Ill.

", "In St. Joseph's Hospital of Kansas City v. Heckler, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals held that \"a provider's right to seek further review [of a fiscal intermediary's decision] is strictly limited\" and the court held that the threshold requirements of section 1395oo(a) — including the 180-day filing deadline — are jurisdictional in nature. ", "786 F.2d 848, 849-50, 853 (8th Cir.1986).", "\nSt. Joseph's distinguished cases in which a provider challenges the PRRB's determination that its appeal failed to meet the threshold requirements of section 1395oo(a) from those in which the provider blatantly failed to follow the administrative scheme, finding the former cases ripe for judicial review and the latter unripe. ", "Id. at 851. ", "Essentially, the rule is when there is no legitimate dispute that the provider's appeal was untimely or failed to establish the requisite amount-in-controversy, the PRRB does not have jurisdiction to render a final decision. ", "Because the right to judicial review attaches solely to a \"final decision\" by the PRRB and not the fiscal intermediary's determination, a district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to hear a dispute between a provider and the Secretary that was not initially heard by the PRRB. ", "Id. at 852.", "\n\nB. Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint\n\nFederal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) provides that leave to amend should be freely granted when justice so requires.

Subject Matter Jurisdiction\n\nSubject matter jurisdiction does not lie herein for SEARK's claims for fiscal years 2004, 2005, and 2007. ", "This is the case because SEARK failed to timely appeal the 2004 and 2007 NPRs to the PRRB. ", "Although SEARK did timely appeal the 2005 NPR, it did not bring suit within 60 days of the PRRB's dismissal of its appeal as required by statute. ", "Accordingly, these claims must be dismissed.", "\nThe 2009 NPR, however, was timely appealed to the PRRB, and the PRRB commenced expedited judicial review. ", "The Secretary argues, however, that because the PRRB's determination of jurisdiction below was purportedly improper, this court similarly is without jurisdiction because there is no \"final decision\" to review. ", "The rule from St. Joseph's, supra, however, strongly counsels against her position: \"[A] decision rejecting a claim for failure to fulfill a threshold requirement must be a final decision for purposes of judicial review. ", "Otherwise, the PRRB [or the Secretary] could effectively preclude any judicial review of its [or her] decisions simply by denying jurisdiction of those claims that it [or she] deems to be non-meritorious.\" ", "786 F.2d at 851.", "\nMoreover, a recent decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals casts significant doubt on the merits of CMS's December 6, 2010, administrative decision. ", "In Los Angeles Haven Hospice v. Sebelius, the Secretary argued that in order have Article III standing to challenge a regulation, a hospice-care provider \"must prove that it suffered a `net' increase in its liability for overpayments from the operation of the hospice cap regulation in [a given fiscal year], over and above the amount it would have been required to pay for the same period under the hospice cap statute or a hypothetical regulation drawn in conformity with the statute.\" ", "638 F.3d 644, 656 (9th Cir.2011). ", "The Ninth Circuit strongly rejected this position by noting that \"such an alternative calculation under a nonexistent regulation would necessarily be hypothetical and speculative in nature\" and that \"so long as [a hospice-care provider] can point to some concrete harm logically produced by 42 C.F.R. § 418.309(b), it has standing to challenge the hospice cap regulation even though in a prior, current, or subsequent fiscal year it may also have enjoyed some offsetting benefits from the operation of the current regulation.\" ", "Id.\n*1108 Another issue, not explicitly raised by the Secretary, is whether SEARK may be permitted to file suit first and then exhaust its administrative remedies second. ", "This is obviously neither the prescribed method under section 1395oo nor is it accepted under general principles of law. ", "If, however, it were held that this procedural anachronism mandates dismissal, it would be without prejudice and SEARK would be free to refile because SEARK timely exhausted its administrative remedies. ", "Therefore, in the interests of judicial economy and common sense, it is held that SEARK's claim as to fiscal year 2009 was exhausted below and that there is subject matter jurisdiction herein.", "\n\nB. SEARK's Motion for Leave to Amend\n\nSEARK requests leave to amend its complaint. ", "The proposed amendments include an additional claim for an NPR issued for fiscal year 2005, this one from its Helena location, and a statement that the PRRB recently rejected its belated appeals — made in September 2010 — for fiscal years ending 2004, 2005 (Pine Bluff location), and 2007. ", "Furthermore, the amended complaint requests application of equitable tolling to any claim barred by section 1395oo.", "\nLeave to amend need not be granted if the proposed amendments will not affect the outcome. ", "Here, SEARK's proposed amended complaint appears to do two things to invoke subject matter jurisdiction for fiscal years ending 2004, 2005, and 2007: (1) obtain a \"final decision\" from the PRRB denying its appeals for those years; and (2) argue that equitable tolling cures any failure to exhaust administrative remedies.", "\nThe first approach is too little, too late. ", "As discussed above at length, 42 U.S.C. § 1395oo is the provider's only key to the courthouse door. ", "That statute plainly requires a provider to appeal an NPR to the PRRB within 180-days of receipt. ", "Doing this many years later in order to obtain a \"final decision\" from which to appeal is insufficient.", "\nThe second equity-based approach asks for an application of equitable tolling. ", "SEARK's argument here is that because other district courts have almost uniformly invalidated the Secretary's regulation, she should not be able to apply it even if SEARK failed to challenge its application through the administrative process. ", "SEARK has not demonstrated, however, that either the Secretary, Palmetto, or the PRRB in some way thwarted its ability to exhaust its administrative remedies. ", "Indeed, each NPR contained clear instructions regarding the a provider's right to appeal the intermediary's determination of overpayment. ", "It appears that SEARK simply failed to do so.
