20130246298 | System and Method for Facilitating Optimized Shipping in a Transport Management System - Load data relating to a particular load requiring transport, stored internal lane rate data and stored external lane rate date are processed to determine a market lane rate. If the determined market lane rate exceeds an offered lane rate, a market lane rate trend graphic is presented on the display of the customer computing device, thereby informing the customer of the market lane rates relating to the particular load. If the determined market rate does not exceed the offered lane rate, the method further includes processing the stored load data along with stored rules data that includes at least one rule to determine if the store load data violates the at least one rule. If the least one rule is not violated, a Move Load icon is presented on the display of the customer computing device which provides a inconspicuous visual indication that capacity for the load is available. | 09-19-2013 |

20150101868 | BALANCING OF DRILL BITS - A method including of manufacturing a drill bit includes inputting bit characteristics into a simulator. The bit characteristics may include a drill bit mass, coordinates of the bit center of gravity, and an inertia tensor of the bit. The bit center of gravity and a vector of the inertia tensor may be aligned with a bit axis in the simulator. Based on the alignment of the center of gravity and the inertia tensor with the bit axis, new bit characteristics may be determined. A drill bit with the new bit characteristics may be produced. | 04-16-2015 |

20150247392 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF OIL AND/OR GAS WELLS WITH A POLYMERIC MATERIAL - Systems and methods for the treatment of oil and/or gas wells are generally provided. In some embodiments, a reservoir comprising oil and/or gas may contain regions that differ in permeability to the drive fluid used to displace the oil and/or gas. The higher permeability region(s) may limit oil and/or gas recovery from lower permeability regions. A method of enhancing oil and/or gas recovery in such a reservoir may comprise injecting a fluid comprising a microemulsion into the reservoir prior to obstructing one or more region (e.g., higher permeability regions) of the reservoir. The use of a microemulsion prior to obstructing one or more region of the reservoir may enhance the barrier properties of the resulting obstruction. In some embodiments, injecting a fluid comprising a microemulsion into the reservoir may also increase the overall production of the oil and/or gas well lacking the microemulsion treatment. | 09-03-2015 |
