Publication number: 20230090979Abstract: A cryogenic cooling system is provided comprising a primary insert (118) and a demountable secondary insert (128). The primary insert (118) comprises a plurality of primary plates (111, 112), each primary plate having a primary contact surface, and one or more primary connecting members (117) arranged so as to connect the plurality of primary plates (111, 112). The demountable secondary insert (128) comprises a plurality of secondary plates (121, 122), each secondary plate having a secondary contact surface, and one or more secondary connecting members (127) arranged so as to connect the plurality of secondary plates (121, 122) such that the secondary insert (128) is self-supporting. One or more adjustment members are configured such that, when the secondary insert (128) is mounted to the primary insert (118), the adjustment members cause the primary and secondary contact surfaces of the respective primary (111, 112) and secondary plates (121, 122) to be brought into conductive thermal contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Anthony Matthews, Timothy Poole, Chris Wilkinson

Patent number: 9194974Abstract: A method for characterizing one or more properties of a geological formation including brine and a dense vapor phase includes inputting at least one first property of the geological formation including resistivity of a vapor phase into a model including an equation of state (EOS) model, the model accounting for a high temperature effect on the dense vapor where that the dense vapor has a non-infinite resistivity. At least the EOS model is solves to provide data relating to at least one second property of the geological formation. The data relating to the at least one second property is output to a display device for visual inspection.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Indranil Roy, Chris Wilkinson, Partha Ganguly, Richard Lewis, Oliver Mullins, Colin Longfield

Patent number: 8635743Abstract: Disclosed is a hinge for a buggy, stroller, etc. for infants. The hinge includes a first hinge member and a second hinge member. Hinge member includes a first hinge end and a connecting end to connect to a first structural member of an infant support apparatus along a first axis. The second hinge member includes a hinge end and a connecting end to connect to structural member of the infant support apparatus along a second axis. The hinge members are pivotal about an axis between a bent condition wherein the first and second longitudinal axes are non-aligned and a straight condition wherein the first and second longitudinal axes are generally aligned. The hinge ends are configured such that the amount of the profiles which overlap prevent the formation of a finger trap.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Mamas and Papas LimitedInventors: Peter Smith, Chris Wilkinson

Publication number: 20140008057Abstract: A downhole device with compressive layer at the surface thereof. Such devices may be particularly well suited for survivability in the face of potentially long term exposure to a downhole environment. Techniques for forming protective compressive layers at the surfaces of such devices may include positioning devices within a chamber for bombardment by high frequency particles. As a manner of enhancing the compressive layer thickness and effectiveness, low temperature conditions may be applied to the device during the high frequency treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2013Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Indranil Roy, Manuel P. Marya, Rashmi Bhanulal Bhavsar, Chris Wilkinson

Publication number: 20130289961Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to reservoir characterization techniques and methods for accurately predicting scale tendencies of formation fluids, developed with the newly discovered phenomena that extreme downhole conditions affect the properties of reservoir fluids, including both the brine and dense hydrocarbon gas phases. In one aspect, there is disclosed a method for producing fluids from a geological formation. The method comprises inputting at least one property of a geological formation into an equation of state (EOS) model. The EOS model accounts for bound water, a high temperature effect on the brine and a high temperature effect on the dense gas phase. The EOS model is solved to determine a character of fluids contained in the geological formation, and inputting a production condition or a plurality of production conditions into the EOS model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2011Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Indranil Ray, Richard E. Lewis, Oliver Clinton Mullins, Colin Longfield, Bruce MacKay, Paul George, Rashmi Bhanulal Bhavsar, Chris Wilkinson
