  • Patent number: 9837937
    Abstract: A piezoelectric power generation device includes a stator, a rotor, and one or more piezoelectric power generation elements. The stator comprises an internal surface which defines an internal orifice. The one or more piezoelectric power generation elements are disposed on the internal surface of the stator. The rotor is disposed within the internal orifice comprising one or more lobes formed on an outside surface of the rotor. The rotor is configured to rotate with respect to the stator and the one or more piezoelectric power generation elements. The one or more lobes contact the one or more piezoelectric power generation elements as the one or more lobes rotate past the one or more piezoelectric power generation elements. The one or more piezoelectric power generation elements generate energy when contacted by the one or more lobes.

  • Publication number: 20140034330
    Abstract: Fluid flow reduction or cessation in a wellbore or pipe may be provided. A body member may be longitudinally translated through a wellbore or pipe. The body member may have an external wall facing an internal wall of the wellbore or pipe. The body member may have an internal flow path configured to facilitate communication of fluid within the wellbore or pipe through the body member. A braking force may be applied to the body member to slow and stop translation of the body member through the wellbore or pipe. A first fluidic seal may be provided between the external wall of the body member and the internal wall of the wellbore or pipe. The first fluidic seal may restrict fluid within the wellbore from being communicated between the external wall of the body member and the internal wall of the wellbore or pipe. A second fluidic seal may be provided restricting fluid within the wellbore or pipe from being communicated through the internal flow path of the body member.
