Patent number: 10760413Abstract: Disclosed are telemetry systems and methods that employ a plurality of electromagnetic transceivers disposed outside a well casing string at a corresponding plurality of depths along the casing string. Each transceiver includes one or more toroidal inductors circumferentially surrounding the casing string and inductively coupled thereto to allow signal transmission between transceivers via currents induced in the casing. In some embodiments, signals are relayed via a chain of transceivers to facilitate indirect communication between a surface facility and other transceivers located too deep for direct communication to the surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Glenn A.

Patent number: 8908045Abstract: A novel system and process is described for the capturing of the images of a target, and/or the shooter, at the time around the discharge of a gun, bow, or shooting device and the display of the images prior to discharge, around point of discharge, and post discharge in a manner that allows the shooter to analyze the images and data. More particularly, the process is directed to shooting a moving target that must be led in order that the projectile (or projectiles) arrives on target after the point in time where the shoot decision is made and the projectile reaches the target area. This process aids the shooter by letting them see images and sight pictures of successful and unsuccessful shots and how much lead, if any, they had given the targets at the point in time they decided to shoot. It also allows for the shooters technique to be recorded and analyzed.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Inventor: David Alexander Stewart
