  • Publication number: 20200088007
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an assembly for use as an isolation barrier to be run in and secured within a well. The assembly has a first tubular section providing a mandrel portion over which a sleeve body is located. The sleeve body is initially welded to a second tubular section to provide a part assembly which can be welded, inspected and machined without affecting the mandrel portion. The second tubular section is then coupled to the first tubular section and the sleeve body welded to the first tubular section to provide a chamber between the sections and the sleeve body. In use, fluid can enter the chamber through a port in the mandrel portion and morph the sleeve against a larger diameter surface in the well. In an embodiment the second tubular section includes a support for the sleeve body during initial welding which is then machined away.

  • Publication number: 20190301264
    Abstract: An assembly and method of manufacturing an assembly for use as an isolation barrier to be run in and secured within a well. The assembly has a sleeve member positioned on the exterior of a tubular body, fixed at each end to create a chamber therebetween. Fluid can enter the chamber through a port in the tubular body to morph the sleeve member against a larger diameter surface in the well. The sleeve member is formed of at least two materials, welded together and machined before being arranged on the tubular body. One material is more expandable than the other so as to morph more easily. The sleeve is connected to the tubular body by screw threads and seals. Initial construction of the sleeve member allows welding, inspection and machining without affecting the tensile strength of the tubular body or complete assembly.

  • Patent number: 10428617
    Abstract: A morphable packer and method of setting the packer to anchor one tubular within another tubular or borehole, and create a seal across an annulus in a well bore. The packer is formed as a single tubular member having a central section between end sections. Undulations are formed on the tubular member to create recesses in which annular slips having oppositely arranged inclined surfaces and an outer gripping surface are located to provide an anchoring arrangement. When morphed the slips move uniformly radially outwards and anchor to an outer tubular. Embodiments include pairs of reversed slips located in the recess, pairs of anchoring arrangements located along the tubular member and a gasket seal arranged around the tubular member.

  • Publication number: 20190156126
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display, processor(s), and memory displays a video monitoring user interface. The interface includes a video window displaying video feed from a camera located remotely from the device. A subset of the video includes a first motion event associated with an event category and a second motion event not associated with the event category. The device detects a user request for video playback. In response to the request, the device identifies a segment of the video for playback. The segment includes a first portion associated with the first motion event and a second portion associated with the second motion event. The device causes generation of a time-lapse video clip of the segment of the video for playback, including configuring the first portion to play at a different speed from the second portion. The device displays and plays the video clip of the segment.

  • Patent number: 10192120
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display, processor(s), and memory displays a video monitoring user interface including a video feed from a camera located remotely from the client device in a first region and an event timeline in a second region, the event timeline including event indicators for motion events previously detected by the camera. The electronic device detects a user input selecting a portion of the event timeline, where the selected portion of the event timeline includes a subset of the event indicators. In response to the user input, the electronic device causes generation of a time-lapse video clip of the selected portion of the event timeline. The electronic device displays the time-lapse video clip, where motion events corresponding to the subset of the event indicators are played at a slower speed than the remainder of the selected portion of the event timeline.

  • Patent number: 10140827
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a system for processing motion events. The system obtains a video stream from a camera, the video stream corresponding to a field of view of the camera and obtains identification of a spatial zone, the spatial zone corresponding to at least a portion of the field of view of the camera. For each motion event detected in the video stream: (1) the system determines whether the motion event involves the spatial zone; and (2), in accordance with a determination that the motion event involves the spatial zone, the system suppresses a first user notification for the motion event.

  • Patent number: 10066466
    Abstract: A pressure intensifier and method of increasing fluid pressure at a desired location in a well bore. A central mandrel having a bore therethrough is affixed in a string. Surrounding the mandrel is a cylindrical body having stacked pistons. At a predetermined fluid pressure through the bore, the pistons release and are moved downwards, to integrate pressure across the pistons and act on a chamber pre-filled with application fluid. The application fluid is forced through delivery conduits at a higher pressure than the predetermined fluid pressure and may be used to morph a tubular. In an embodiment, the predetermined fluid pressure is field adjustable.
