  • Patent number: 11261683
    Abstract: A downhole tool includes a sleeve having a first end and a second end, a slip assembly coupled to the second end of the sleeve, a first cone positioned at least partially in the sleeve, proximal to the first end thereof, and a second cone positioned at least partially in the slip assembly. The first and second cones are configured to be moved toward one another from a run-in configuration to a set configuration. When actuating from the run-in configuration to the set configuration, the sleeve is forced radially outward by the first cone. When actuating from the run-in configuration to the set configuration, the slip assembly is forced radially outward by the second cone.

  • Patent number: 11163989
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing action localization in images and videos. In one aspect, a system comprises a data processing apparatus; a memory in data communication with the data processing apparatus and storing instructions that cause the data processing apparatus to perform image processing and video processing operations comprising: receiving an input comprising an image depicting a person; identifying a plurality of context positions from the image; determining respective feature representations of each of the context positions; providing a feature representation of the person and the feature representations of each of the context positions to a context neural network to obtain relational features, wherein the relational features represent relationships between the person and the context positions; and determining an action performed by the person using the feature representation of the person and the relational features.

    Abstract: An assembly includes a cone having a tapered outer surface, a slips assembly positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone, and a sealing ring positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone. The slips assembly directly engages the sealing ring, such that the slips assembly is configured to transmit a setting force to the sealing ring, which moves the sealing ring on the tapered outer surface of the cone and expands the sealing ring radially outward. The assembly includes an anti-seal ring positioned adjacent to the sealing ring and around the cone. The anti-seal ring is driven along the tapered outer surface of the cone by engagement with the sealing ring.

  • Patent number: 10989016
    Abstract: A downhole tool includes an expandable sleeve having an outer surface. The expandable sleeve is configured to expand radially outwards without fracturing apart. The tool also includes a plurality of button inserts positioned at least partially in the expandable sleeve and extending outward past the outer surface by a first distance, so as to engage a surrounding tubular when the expandable sleeve is expanded. The tool further includes a first band of grit material on the outer surface, adjacent to at least one row of the plurality of button inserts. The first band of grit material extends outward from the outer surface by at least the first distance, to shield the plurality of button inserts during run-in of the downhole tool.
