20150161732 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIVE VOLATILITY OF ASSET CLASSES - The disclosed technology relates generally to a method and system for evaluating asset classes and investment categories. Financial advisors, for example, may use the disclosed technology to talk to investors about diversification. The disclosed technology allows users to explore and visualize the concept of diversification. The disclosed technology may also be used to help explain and reinforce the importance of diversification by highlighting the relative volatility of the asset classes. The disclosed technology, in certain embodiments, lets users explore performance of asset classes in several investment categories (e.g., equity, fixed-income, and alternatives) and shows how a diversified portfolio would have performed over the same time period. | 06-11-2015 |

20120216899 | Piggable Static Mixer Apparatus and System for Generating a Hydrate Slurry - Provided are piggable static mixers, apparatus for generating a non-plugging hydrate slurry, systems incorporating the same, and methods of using the same. Piggable static mixers include an inlet orifice, an outlet orifice in fluid communication with the inlet orifice, and a mechanism fluidly coupled between the inlet and outlet orifices. The mechanism is configurable between a first state and a second state. Fluid flow between the inlet and outlet orifices is substantially unimpeded when the mechanism is in the first state. A static mixer element impinges upon the fluid flow when the mechanism is in the second state. The system further includes a production facility and a production line. The system and methods provided are useful for production of wellstream hydrocarbons from subsea and arctic environments. | 08-30-2012 |

20150260348 | System and Method for Inhibiting Hydrate Film Growth On Tubular Walls - Methods and systems are provided for inhibiting the formation and/or growth of clathrate hydrates in a mixed phase fluid at or near the walls of a tubular through use of a chemical or physical coating on the tubular wall. An exemplary embodiment provides a method for producing a flowable mixed phase fluid having the potential to create clathrate hydrates. The method includes inhibiting hydrate formation in a tubular by injecting an additive into a fluid stream in the tubular, and the additive adheres, at least in part, to the walls of the tubular and inhibits hydrate growth proximate to the wall. When sufficient additive is injected into the tubular system, the hydrate film growth on the tubular walls is inhibited, at least to some extent, and a continuous flow rate is maintained. | 09-17-2015 |
20150323441 | High Pressure Utilization of Quartz Crystal Microbalance - A QCM sensor apparatus comprising a QCM mounting insert having a first opening, a second opening, and a barrier fluid chamber disposed between the first opening and the second opening, and a QCM wafer sealably coupled to the second opening, wherein the QCM wafer has an electrode contact exposed to the barrier fluid chamber and a sensitive layer that is not exposed to the barrier fluid chamber. | 11-12-2015 |
20150324818 | Long-Term Flow Assurance In A Transportation System - A method and system for long-term flow assurance is provided. Data is periodically acquired from multiple transportation systems each having a transportation structure such as a pipeline, and a transported material such as hydrocarbons or oil and gas. The data is stored in a central location. A global predictive flow model is maintained based on the data acquired from the multiple transportation systems. A data set of a transportation system of the multiple transportation systems is analyzed via the global predictive flow model to determine a flow assurance issue of the transportation system. | 11-12-2015 |
20150373555 | Wireless Sensor Network Commissioning - A communications apparatus configured to communicate with a sensor network, comprising a transmitter, a receiver, a processor coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to retrieve configuration data from the memory regarding the sensor network, wherein the configuration data is preloaded on the memory at a first physical location prior to installing the apparatus at a second physical location, select a wireless communication gateway from a plurality of communication gateways in the sensor network based at least in part on the configuration data, and wirelessly transmit data to the wireless communication gateway, wherein the data comprises information indicating a sensor reading. | 12-24-2015 |

20150206412 | Scatterbrain - Scatterbrain is a lost and found machine designed for the household. A hand held controller instantly points in the direction of the lost item and displays distance to the lost item. The prior art of locating lost items around the house or apartment has been to search approximately a half dozen places the lost item may have been kept, maybe you find it and maybe you don't. Displaying both direction and distance to a lost item is a comprehensive unique way of finding lost items around the house or apartment. | 07-23-2015 |
