20140337999 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESS CONTROL AND IDENTITY MANAGEMENT - In a computer environment, a mechanism for the flow of access by means of derivation is provided. Typically, access rights granted with respect to an access point flow (or derive from) an access provider to an access recipient. Typically, the access provider is a function and the access recipient is a function. The access point may be any object, such as files or functions, to which the access recipient is granted access rights by the access provider. Access is typically represented by a relationship object referencing the access provider function, the access recipient function, and the access point object, and a set of access rights. There are typically different types of access, including read access, right access, and membership access. Therefore, the membership access relationship is typically represented as a subtype of the general/abstract access relationship. Membership is the idea that a first function can gain access to a second function, so that the first function becomes the member of the second function. The membership access relationship (MAR1) maps the access provider role to a function A, maps the access recipient to function B, and maps the access point to function C, wherein, function A is a function doing the membership inviting and therefore providing access (as the access provider), function B is the function being invited and therefore receiving access (as the access recipient), and function C (the access point) is the function into which function B is obtaining membership. When a membership access relationship (MAR1) is created, typically a new associated persona function is generated, representing the new identity created for the access recipient function (function B) while serving as a member of the access point function (function C). Because the persona (persona1) is typically a function, additional rights may be granted to or granted by persona1, such as rights granted by persona1 (as the access provider in a new access relationship) or rights granted to persona1 (as the access recipient in a new access relationship). After a persona (persona1) is created, it may itself be invited by a function 3 to become a member in another function (function 4), thereby creating another membership access relationship (MAR2) in which MAR2's access recipient is persona 1, MAR2's access provider is function 3, and MAR's access point is function 4. A second persona (persona2) is then typically automatically created representing the new membership access (MAR2). Persona2 is then said to derive from persona1, since persona 2 is based on persona1. In this way, identity derivation is provided so that persona1 has a derived persona2 (and persona 2 derives from persona 1). Persona1 may have a plurality of derived personas, including persona2, persona3, and persona4. Since these derived personas are based on the persona1, if persona1 is deleted, persona2, persona3, and persona4 (the derived personas) may also be deleted. So, a new technique is provided by which a function may be invited to participate in a plurality of other functions, wherein each membership “invite” is expressed by a new membership access relationship and each such membership access relationship results in the creation of a new and associated persona. When a persona function is invited to be a member in another function, that in turn generates a membership and a second persona that is derived from the first persona, resulting in identity derivation. | 11-13-2014 |

20100154086 | NOVEL ENHANCED PROCESSES FOR MOLECULAR SCREENING AND CHARACTERIZATION - A general high-throughput screening (HTS) process using an atomic force microscope (AFM) to detect and measure molecular recognition events. The AFM is used to measure changes in molecular complex height, friction, shape, elasticity or any other relevant parameters that report a molecular recognition event. In addition, the force involved in molecular recognition and bonding is directly measured using the technique of force spectroscopy. In one embodiment, a flow chamber is used to introduce molecules and assay their effect on a molecular interaction occurring between molecules on the AFM probe and a surface. In some cases the surface may be an introduced microparticle. In a second embodiment, the sample is a solid phase array of molecules that is interrogated by a functionalized AFM probe, and the effects of introduced agents at each molecular address in the array is measured by force spectroscopy. | 06-17-2010 |

20100080670 | Pipe handling apparatus - An elevator usable on a drilling rig is modified by attaching a swing arm and related structure to at least one accessory mounting provision on the elevator. The swing arm is tiltable to allow a single section elevator, carried by the swing arm, to engage a pipe extending near the well centerline. While the pipe section is being lifted, the swing arm pivots to allow the section to assume a vertical position under the elevator. When the pipe section is being rotated to run threads to join the section to the string the swing arm can extend to accommodate thread-run dimension changes. An elevator equivalent, without pipe gripping features, may be used. | 04-01-2010 |
20100163248 | Pipe handling apparatus - An arbor arranged for attachment to overhead support, such as a top drive or main rig hoist, is arranged to resiliently support a main body. The main body is arranged to support a wedge-lock type pipe gripper assembly on a second arbor that is resiliently supported by the main body. The two arbors are rotationally connected but only indirectly connected axially and, to a limited extent, can move independently. The actuator, or linear motor, that actuates the wedge-lock system has the ability to force release of the wedge-lock system when it has been set by massive pipe loads. The forced release actuation is independent of the load supporting features of the main body. Full range actuation of the main body and main arbor assembly length will not actuate the wedge-lock release system. The length of the overall assembly can be oscillated to vibrate a supported pipe string. | 07-01-2010 |

The valve is slowly closed and the resulting fluid power made available to the tong causes it to make the low-resistance turns required of the pipe during the thread run. As the valve continues to close, the resulting pipe turn increases the resistance and causes the tong motor to demand more pressure, to achieve more turn. Torque demand continues to develop as the valve continues to close. Options include computer control, a graph reader to direct the computer, a recorder, a manually set by-pass relief valve to parallel the flow control valve as a secondary pressure limit assurance. | 08-05-2010 |
