  • Patent number: 11549323
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for bonding a first downhole tool to a borehole tubular, which include applying solder particles, each particle having an outer shell and a core of liquid metal, to at least one of a surface of the first downhole tool or a surface of the borehole tubular. The methods may also include rupturing the shells of the solder particles to release the liquid metal cores. The methods may further include bonding the first downhole tool to the borehole tubular by allowing the released liquid metal core to solidify.

  • Patent number: 11339621
    Abstract: An assembly for use in a downhole tool. The assembly may include a body that includes a chamber with a solder suspension contained therein, the solder suspension comprising solder particles, each solder particle comprising an outer shell and a liquid metal core that is exposed and solidifies upon rupture of the outer shell. The assembly may also include a port that allows fluid flow between the chamber and an area outside of the chamber. The assembly may further include a plunger actuatable to apply a force to create a pressure to the solder suspension within the chamber to eject the solder suspension from the port at a velocity to rupture the outer shells of the particles upon contact with a surface.

  • Patent number: 10901727
    Abstract: In response to detecting a code change request for a particular file of multiple files of a software build during testing, a computer generates a sensitivity rating of the particular file to cause breaks in the software build based on a relative level of failure of the particular file as compared to the multiple files based on one or more factors. The computer outputs a response to the code change request based on the sensitivity rating to one or more integrated development environment interfaces with access to the particular file of the software build. The computer uses the sensitivity rating to determine whether to grant the code change request.

  • Patent number: 10351753
    Abstract: Corrosion-resistant refractory binder compositions may include high alumina cement, high-alumina refractory aluminosilicate material, and phosphorous material. Examples of high-alumina refractory aluminosilicate material include crushed firebrick, firebrick grog, refractory mortar, fire clay, mullite, fused mullite, and combinations thereof. The binder composition may be mixed with sufficient amount of fluid such as water to form a slurry and introduced into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, where it may be allowed to set at a point downhole. Such compositions, once set, may exhibit enhanced corrosion and heat resistance. Such compositions, once set, may additionally be cured. Curing may take place at higher temperatures and/or pressures, and may furthermore increase temperature resistance and/or strength of the set binder composition.

  • Patent number: 10310968
    Abstract: A selection of one or more files for a project plan for a software build is identified. A historical assessment of one or more developers available during a build timeline for the project plan is accessed, the historical assessment comprising an assessment value calculated from one or more previously evaluated sensitivity ratings from one or more previously edited files by the one or more developers of one or more previous software builds. An optimized selection of the one or more developers is assigned to each selection of one or more files based on the historical assessment. The optimized selection of the one or more developers for each selection of one or more files in the project plan for the software build is output.
