  • Patent number: 11957221
    Abstract: An alert system has a first device configured to be secured to a first person, a second device associated with a second person, and a computing system. The computing system is configured to determine when the first device has breached a first geofence associated with the second device and, upon determining the first device has breached the first geofence, alert the first device, the second device, and a third device. The first device is configured to, upon receiving an alert indicating the first geofence has been breached, emit an alert signal on the first device. The second device is configured to, upon receiving an alert indicating the first geofence has been breached, emit an alert signal on the second device.

  • Publication number: 20230313677
    Abstract: A mud pulser for generating pulses in a fluid flow in a wellbore. The mud pulser has a valve housing having an uphole opening for receiving fluid flow, and a piston valve situated in a piston chamber is longitudinally moveable between an open and closed position by closing and opening a pilot port downhole of the uphole opening and in fluid communication with the piston chamber. A first channel extends in the sidewall of the valve housing and fluidly connects the uphole opening and the pilot port. One or more fluid egress ports are in communication with the piston chamber. A metering orifice may be inserted in said one or more fluid egress ports for first channel. Opening and closing the downhole pilot port moves the piston valve and thus opens and closes the uphole opening thereby generating pressure pulses in the fluid flow. A downhole valve is further disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11728917
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide techniques to selectively distribute Precision Time Protocol (PTP) data in a network. The network can include multiple different network devices (e.g., switches) connected to form a network architecture (e.g., a spine/leaf architecture). Rather than distributing the PTP data (e.g., PTP timestamps) through all the network devices in order to synchronize local clocks to a global, master clock, the embodiments herein describe an out-of-band distribution network which selectively distributes the PTP data to select network devices in the network.

  • Patent number: 11424505
    Abstract: A battery, a battery container, and a battery pack, for use downhole in MWD operations, one or more of which incorporates lateral vibration damping. In a preferred embodiment each comprise specialized lateral vibration damping in the form of a plurality of longitudinally-extending resiliently-deformable ridges extending substantially a length of each and circumferentially spaced about an outer periphery. The resiliently-deformable ridges on the battery may be integrally formed and extend radially outwardly from a hollow resiliently-deformable sleeve, and formed of the same resiliently-deformable material of which the sleeve is comprised. The resiliently-deformable ridges on the battery container may extend radially inwardly or outwardly from a periphery thereof. Advantageously, the battery container can thus be free of potting material and thus be reusable when the batteries thereof need be replaced.

  • Patent number: 11296936
    Abstract: Methods for configuring a self-organizing network (SON) of a cellular telecommunication network are disclosed. A first set of data comprised of substantially real-time data for one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) is collected. A characteristic profile of the KPIs is determined. An instruction is sent to an identifier associated with the selected adjustable antenna, indicative of a command to change an electromagnetic characteristic of the selected adjustable antenna. A second set of data for the KPIs is received, and an updated profile of the KPIs is determined. A statistical probability of a causal relationship between the updated profile and the change to the electromagnetic is determined based on a predetermined threshold. Identifiers for the adjustable antennas are updated or confirmed.
