Patent number: 11965511Abstract: A bellows motor expansion chamber for electric submersible pumps (ESP). An ESP assembly includes an electric submersible motor between a thrust chamber and a motor expansion chamber, the motor expansion chamber including a bellows coupled to a releasable bellows anti-movement system including a heat-activated release and alterable between an immobilizing position, wherein the releasable anti-movement system prevents concertinaed movement of the bellows in the immobilizing position, and a released position, wherein the bellows is concertinaedly moveable in the released position, and wherein the releasable bellows anti-movement system is in the immobilizing position below a release temperature and in the released position above the release temperature. A filter section within a well fluid inlet of the bellows motor expansion chamber includes a least two concentric filters of varying porosity, and a housing surrounding the filters including angled ribs and flow holes.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Larry James Parmeter, Jeffrey G.

Patent number: 7548183Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically disabling the TCAS Broadcast when aircraft join up in formation. A Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) determines if the aircraft is approaching formation flight with other aircraft or flying in formation with other aircraft and disables a TCAS interrogation signal if the aircraft is determined to be approaching a formation or flying in formation. The TCAS receives TCAS interrogation signals from one or more other aircraft and receives aircraft configuration information from one or more other aircraft systems. The TCAS determines the aircraft is approaching formation flight or flying in formation based on the received TCAS interrogation signals, a mode of TCAS operation, and/or the received aircraft configuration information. The TCAS also automatically switches into Traffic Advisory Only mode if the aircraft is determined to be approaching formation flight or flying in formation.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2006Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Larry D.

Patent number: 6483453Abstract: The present invention provides a method for efficient use of the transmit power of a Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) that allows enhanced surveillance range and limits radio frequency (RF) interference in crowded airspace. The method reduces power density in crowded airspace by modifying Mode S, Mode A and Mode C interrogations. During Mode S broadcasts, tracking interrogation power is reduced as a function of range. Further transmit power reduction is achieved by broadcasting a variable power density whisper-shout interrogation technique for Mode A/C aircraft when garbling is detected. If garbling is observed during a medium whisper-shout interrogation sequence, the method of the present invention attempts to clear the garbling by using focused high-density whisper-shout steps but only in the ranges where garbling was detected. Formation members can account for other formation members that are TCAS equipped using a special E-TCAS Broadcast Interrogation.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2001Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: David Oey, Ruy C.

Patent number: 6021011Abstract: A synchronous read channel is disclosed which samples an analog read signal from a magnetic read head positioned over a magnetic disk medium, filters the sample values according to a desired partial response, extracts timing information from the filtered sample values, and detects an estimated data sequence from the filtered sample values using a discrete time sequence detector. Discrete time timing recovery within the read channel comprises a variable frequency oscillator (VFO) for generating a sampling clock. A center operating frequency of the VFO is adjusted through a programmable register which stores a digital center frequency setting. A phase error is computed from the sample values and combined with the center frequency setting to control the frequency and phase of the sampling clock at the output of the VFO.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1997Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Assignee: Cirrus Logic, Inc.Inventors: Richard T.

Patent number: 5956304Abstract: In an optical disk storage device, a differential phase detector is disclosed for generating a position error signal independent of the frequency content of the recorded data. A pair if diagonal signals S1 and S2 are generated by adding a pair of respective quadrants of a four-quadrant photodetector, where the phase offset between the diagonal signals represents the position error of the pit image as it passes over the photodetector. The position error is determined in the present invention by computing the difference between a positive and negative correlation of the diagonal signals S1 and S2, otherwise referred to as a dual arm correlation (DAC) ##EQU1## where .DELTA. is the correlation offset and L is the correlation length. In the preferred embodiment, the correlation offset .DELTA. is adaptively adjusted to maximize the correlation between S1 and S2. In this manner, the position error estimate is substantially insensitive to the frequency content of the recorded data.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1997Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Cirrus Logic, Inc.Inventors: Louis Supino, Paul M.

The trellis sequence detector comprises programmable detector levels which allows for maximum flexibility in matching the sequence detector to the partial response.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1997Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Cirrus Logic, Inc.Inventors: Richard T.
