20140258534 | SERVICE-BASED LOAD-BALANCING MANAGEMENT OF PROCESSES ON REMOTE HOSTS - A session manager is used to manage selection of a remote host for a session in response to a request that is associated with a user. The session manager uses resource information obtained from remote hosts in advance of the request to determine which remote host to associate with a session for a client. Each remote host performs a resource calculation (configurable) to determine how many processes/sessions it can further accommodate. The remote host sends the results of the resource calculation and other determined resource information to the session manager. The session manager provides the determined remote host to a client device. The client device then directly connects to the determined remote host. A process may be automatically started on the remote host for the client as the user. The session manager may also store and receive information for active and historical processes, remote host status, and remote host configuration. | 09-11-2014 |

The rod guide receiver serves in the manner of a bearing race, having a pair of opposing stops to retain the spinner subsequently molded thereon. The spinner may also be referred to herein as a centralizing sleeve. The rod guide receiver and the spinner are both formed of polymeric materials, but of materials different from one another so that the rod guide is free to rotate about the rod guide receiver. Further, the vanes of the rod guide are formed in a zig-zag pattern to enhance the strength and effectiveness of the vanes in bearing against the inside surface of the well tubing. | 07-05-2012 |
20120292021 | Rod Guide With Wrapping Vanes - A sucker rod guide includes a pair of vanes, offset from one another by 180°, with each vane wrapping approximately 180° around the rod guide. The vanes wrap around the body of the guide, and are neither spiral nor helical because the surfaces of the vanes extending radially outwardly from the body of the rod guide define two dimensional planar surfaces, i.e. flat planes. The vane thickness varies from a maximum at each end of the vane to a minimum at a midway point along the vane. This shape assists in moving fluid up the production tubing when the guide is applied to a rotary system, such as a progressive cavity pump. This shape also enhances the erodable volume of the vanes at the extremities, while providing a less inhibiting path for the flow of fluid in reciprocating applications. | 11-22-2012 |
