Patent number: 11941160Abstract: A method includes transmitting an instruction to a motive power supply of an elastically deformable device to drive the elastically deformable device in accordance with a drive setting; measuring a force exerted on the elastically deformable device with a sensor; outputting an observed value representative of the force; comparing the observed value with a reference value corresponding with a predetermined force to be exerted on the elastically deformable device; and adjusting the drive setting based on a determination that the observed value is outside of a predetermined range of the reference value. The method prevents slack in the elastically deformable device over time. Related apparatuses, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLCInventors: Andrew Lee Tang, Bryan Christopher Morris, James J. Delmonico

Patent number: 11415527Abstract: A non-destructive testing system can include a mobile computing device and a video borescope coupled to the mobile computing device via a cloud computing environment. The system can further include a probe driver coupled to the mobile computing device and to the video borescope via the cloud computing environment. The probe driver can attach to a conduit section. The probe driver can also include a positioning element configured to position the conduit section and a data processor. The data processor can be configured to receive a signal indicative of a position of the conduit section and to control one or more operations of the probe driver configured to operate the positioning element to orient the conduit section in the position.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventor: Bryan Christopher Morris

Patent number: 11353407Abstract: A probe driver may include a coupling that interfaces with a conduit section at a first position of the conduit section. A probe driver may also have one or more positioning elements to reposition the conduit section to interface with the coupling at a second position of conduit section in response to one or more commands based on a recorded inspection, where through completing the one or more commands is configured to initiate a second inspection identical to the recorded inspection.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE Company, LLCInventor: Bryan Christopher Morris

Publication number: 20190077271Abstract: An electric vehicle charging system includes a connector plug connectable to a connector base connected to a modular charging unit. The connector plug includes a plurality of connectors receivable in a plurality of openings of the connector base. A connector of the plurality of connectors includes an extending portion for contacting a terminal connector of the connector base. The connector plug and the connector base are rotatable relative to each other after the plurality of connectors are received in the plurality of openings such that the extending portion rotates to contact the terminal connector to provide an electrical connection between the modular charging unit and a load of an electric vehicle. The connector plug and the connector base are lockable relative to each other to inhibit movement therebetween after the extending portion contacts the terminal connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: SparkCharge, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Christian AVIV, Bryan Christopher MORRIS
