20130133877 | Differential Pressure Control Device for Packer Tieback Extension or Polished Bore Receptacle - An annular seal for a setting tool in a packer tieback extension comprises a downhole oriented packer cup assembly. As the tool is run in the hole the packer cup flexes as the rising hydrostatic pressure equalizes across the cup into what started as a zone with atmospheric pressure inside the packer tieback extension. Once the pressure is equalized the self energizing feature of the packer cup maintains grit and debris in the mud from entering the tieback extension where the spring loaded dogs of the setting tool are held in a retracted position. If the seal fails to equalize and allows a large differential across the setting sleeve from the surrounding annulus, the rupture disc breaks inwardly into the tieback extension so that pressure is equalized. If the packer is never set after being lowered to depth and the pressure from the tieback extension is equalized into the annulus. | 05-30-2013 |

20100317319 | Providing Trusted Communication - Electronic communication is susceptible to SPAM, phishing attacks, and other unwanted communications because of a recipient's limited control over communication transmitted by a sender. Functionality can be implemented to employ a multi-level approach to establishing trust between a sender and a recipient prior to transmitting any communication to prevent unwanted content from being transmitted to a recipient. Initial levels of trust may be established by requiring the sender to provide trust establishment information about the recipient. Based on the validity and percent accuracy of the provided trust establishment information, the communication may be discarded or transmitted to the recipient. A final level of trust depends on the approval of a trust validation request sent to the recipient on behalf of the sender. Such a system configured to provide trusted communication can reduce the probability of the recipient receiving large scale SPAM, phishing attacks, telemarketing calls, and other unwanted communication. | 12-16-2010 |
