20130086258 | MONITORING AND LIMITING REQUESTS TO ACCESS SYSTEM RESOURCES - Systems, apparatuses and methods for preventing requests to access a system's resources from having a negative impact on higher priority data processing operations being performed by the system. The invention is directed to preventing the number of calls made by a merchant's applications through an application programming interface (API) for access to the lower priority services of a merchant service provider from having a negative impact on the ability of the service provider to perform the processing necessary to support higher priority services. The invention provides a user interface that may be used by a merchant or the service provider to configure the operation of a “throttle” that is designed to generate an alert when the number of calls by a merchant application for access to a specific service provider function or application exceeds a value or limit, where exceeding the value or limit may indicate a malfunction of the merchant's application or an attack by a malicious agent. | 04-04-2013 |

20150114653 | METHOD FOR REMEDIATION OF SUBTERRANEAN-FORMED METAL-POLYMER COMPLEXES USING A METAL COMPLEXING AGENT - This disclosure describes formulations and methods for remediating subterranean-formed metal-polymer complexes in wells in subterranean formations. In one embodiment, the method includes injecting a metal-polymer complex remediation mixture containing a metal complexing agent into a subterranean formation adjacent to a well at a pressure below the fracture pressure of the formation. A sufficient contact time is allowed and then the metal-polymer complex remediation mixture is pumped from the subsurface. This has been shown to remediate polymer-containing, subterranean-formed metal-polymer complexes in shale formations. Without being held to a particular theory it appears that the metal complexing agent is forming metal complexes with the metals in the complexes, and particularly divalent metal ions. This removal of naturally occurring metals may be un-crosslinking and causing the metal-polymer complexes to go into solution, thereby removing the blockages caused by the metal-polymer complexes. | 04-30-2015 |
20150292308 | STIMULATION OF WELLS IN NANO-DARCY SHALE FORMATIONS - This disclosure describes formulations and methods for stimulating the production from wells in nano-darcy shale formations. In one embodiment, the method includes injecting a treatment mixture containing a metal complexing agent into a nano-darcy shale formation adjacent to a well at a pressure below the fracture pressure of the formation. A sufficient contact time is allowed and then the treatment mixture is pumped from the subsurface. This has been shown to stimulate well production in shale formations. Without being held to a particular theory it appears that the metal complexing agent is binding with naturally occurring metals in the shale formation, and particularly divalent metal ions, which are then extracted with the spent fluid. This removal of naturally occurring metals may be increasing the permeability of the formation in the contact region adjacent to the well, thereby causing the observed increased production. | 10-15-2015 |
20160068745 | SLICK-WATER FRACTURING USING TIME RELEASE METAL-COMPLEXING AGENT - In a slick-water fracturing operation, a composition is used to prevent the interaction between a polymer in a water-based fracturing fluid and naturally-occurring metal ions. The composition includes a metal-complexing agent, such as a chelating agent. The chelating agent can also be biodegradable and is citric acid in embodiments. The metal-complexing agent can be coated with one or two coatings to create a time-released form. The time-released form prevents loss of the agent prior to delivery at the shale. | 03-10-2016 |

20160103953 | BIOLOGICAL SEQUENCE TANDEM REPEAT CHARACTERIZATION - Short fixed length source sub-sequences are extracted from a collection of source sequences derived from a sample for which the biological signature is to be determined. The extracted short fixed length source sub-sequences are compiled to determine the frequency of each within the collection. Overlaps between the short fixed length source sub-sequences are used to find a chain of overlaps from one or more sub-sequences equivalent to a pre-flanking reference marker sequence to one or more sub-sequences equivalent to a post-flanking reference marker sequence, wherein the reference marker sequences flank a region containing a repetitive sequence region. In response to the chain containing multiple instances of the one or more short fixed length source sub-sequences, thereby defining a cycle, the sequences from the collection derived from the sample are examined to find one or more sequences that span the cycle, and at least one of: (i) the lengths of the spanning sequences are used to determine the length of the cycle and; (ii) the number of repeat motif copies within each spanning sequence are counted. | 04-14-2016 |
20160103954 | BIOLOGICAL SEQUENCE VARIANT CHARACTERIZATION - Short fixed length sub-sequences, defined as reference sub-sequences, are extracted from a collection of reference sequences, and an index is constructed showing which short fixed length reference sub-sequence occurs in which reference sequences. Short fixed length sub-sequences, the same length as the reference sub-sequences and defined as source sub-sequences, are extracted from a collection of source sequences derived from a sample for which the signature is to be determined, and the short fixed length source sub-sequences are compiled to determine the frequency of each within the collection. The presence or absence of source sub-sequences in combination with the index is used to infer the presence or absence of reference sequences from the reference collection. | 04-14-2016 |

20130320725 | Child Car Seat with Height Adjustable Head Rest and Adjustment Mechanism for Same - A child car seat has a seat back with an upper end and a head rest coupled to the seat back near the upper end. The head rest is vertically adjustable along the seat back between a raised position and a lowered position. The car seat has an adjustment mechanism with an actuator and a lock element. The lock element is movable between a locked condition preventing vertical adjustment of the head rest and an unlocked condition permitting vertical adjustment of the head rest. The actuator is actuable to reconfigure the adjustment mechanism between a locked arrangement blocking the lock element in the locked condition, a released arrangement unblocking the lock element from the locked condition, and an unlocked arrangement whereby the lock element is in the unlocked condition. | 12-05-2013 |
