new Most connected wearables and portable medical devices need to accurately track people’s biometric data, allowing healthcare providers to monitor patients remotely, track progress and intervene when necessary. The lifetime of medical devices is crucial here, as it can vary from days to months to years of stocking and use. The BG27 features an integrated DCDC Boost that allows operation down to 0.8 volts, thus enabling the use of single-cell alkaline, silver oxide, and 1.55v button cell batteries typically used on medical applications such as battery-operated patches, wearable electrocardiograms (ECG), and continuous glucose monitors (CGM). In addition, the wakeup pin on the BG27 allows products to spend months in warehouses and transport, consuming less than 20 nA, until awoken, ensuring the battery remains fully charged when the device is needed the most.

new However, face compact powder may absorb excess skin oils while also producing a light, natural appearance. In addition, due to its sweat-resistance, face compact powder is expected to stay in place than any liquid makeup. Some female consumers prefer face compact powder to foundation. It may be relatively innocuous when used sparingly. However, there are disadvantages to daily use of this cosmetic product. It might take in a tiny bit too much natural oil from the face, which could harm the skin and make breakouts and clogged pores. The major problem with using face powders frequently is that it may raise the risk of face powder poisoning, a serious condition. According to Drugwatch, breathing in makeup items such as facial compact powder unintentionally may be extremely dangerous. Breathing difficulties, a burning sensation in the throat, coughing, and eye pain are all possible signs of inhalation exposure.

new High-resolution acoustic imaging technology provides operators the ability to extract submillimetric measurements of perforations at any depth into the casing wall. Due to its three-dimensional nature, submillimetric acoustic data permits the extraction of highly accurate area-based measurements at any radial distance into the perforation, with key distances at the inner and outer casing boundary. This novel technology is fluid agnostic and is unaffected by fluid opacity or clarity. The platforms robust 3D measurement capabilities have made it into an ideal means to evaluate casing and perforations in challenging environments such as hydraulically fractured wells. The integration of high-resolution acoustic imaging into numerous operators’ hydraulic fracture and completions evaluation workflows has resulted in a highly insightful aggregate submillimetric perforation dataset. This large dataset has led to the development of a method to virtually unplug perforations by using a well-specific “perforation entry and exit-hole area correlation”. The correlation established can only be extracted using acoustic based imaging as it requires submillimetric resolution of both the ID and OD profile of each perforation Using this correlation, the resulting set of post-frac perforation exit-hole measurements improves an operators’ ability to complete a holistic well completion evaluation, even when well conditions cause perforations to be plugged. The outcome is improved operational insight through the ability to directly compare stages with plugged perforations to those without. This approach can be applied at any point in the well’s life cycle, which allows operators to revisit assessments and virtually unplug obscured and proppant-filled perforations. The methodology requires a sound baseline knowledge of the performance of the downhole perforating charges. The baseline is commonly obtained through a calibration stage, which is a stage of charges that are shot but left unstimulated to provide the control measurements for the specific charge in the given well conditions. Current industry performance of downhole perforating charges is investigating through the aggregated dataset of calibration charges. To validate this solid-state acoustic technology and demonstrates its high degree of accuracy for entry and exit-hole perforation measurements, machined samples were scanned with this technology, and with a metrology-grade laser scanner for comparison. This paper presents a novel virtual unplugging methodology, enabled by highly accurate and validated entry-hole measurements, as well as other insights garnered from the aggregate analysis of the world’s largest calibration perforation datasets. — DarkVision, 20h ago
