  • Patent number: 12278345
    Abstract: An arrangement for pressure monitoring within a battery housing of a battery system. The arrangement includes a first power supply path and a pressure measuring. The pressure measuring unit is electrically connected to the first power supply path. The arrangement also includes a pressure-sensitive mechanical switching unit arranged within the battery housing and electrically connected, in series with the pressure measuring unit, to the first power supply path. The switching unit switches to an electrically conductive switching state when the pressure within the battery housing exceeds a predefined pressure threshold and establishes a supply of power to the pressure measuring unit via the first power supply path, and switches to an electrically blocking switching state when the pressure within the battery housing falls below the pressure threshold and interrupts the supply of power to the pressure measuring unit via the first power supply path.

  • Patent number: 12258831
    Abstract: A fluid-driven multi-mode extended reach vibration tool is selectively operable to control generating shock waves of different amplitudes by a downhole motor or shock-wave generating tool. Interrupting and then reinstating flow of pressurized fluid through the tool enables switching between different shock wave amplitudes, as such causes rotation of a slot piston to successive positions and enables it to unblock designated fluid ejection paths, while blocking others. Blocking different flow paths and unblocking others allows generating different internal pressures and shock wave amplitudes under the externally-applied fluid pressure downhole. There is also an “off” mode with no vibration, while maintaining well control and fluid pressure at the BHA.

  • Patent number: 12252944
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid-driven dual-mode circulation tool which is suitable for high-temperature applications, and which is operable to switch between a flow-through mode and an annular-flow mode. Switching modes is accomplished by interrupting (or reducing) and then reinstating the flow of pressurized fluid through it. In the flow-through mode, pressurized fluid flows out of the tool into the bottom hole assembly. In the annular-flow mode, the tool diverts fluid through internal paths that access the annulus of the wellbore or casing through one or more apertures on the sidewall of the tool.

  • Patent number: 12246411
    Abstract: A fluid-driven dual-mode abrasive perforation tool which is selectively operable to switch between abrasive and neutral mode is disclosed. In the abrasive mode, jets of abrasive fluid are delivered on to perforate the target site. A ratchet path having mated peaks and valleys on the surface of a J-slot piston included in the tool is engaged with guiding pins. On longitudinal sliding of the piston due to guided inflow and interruption pressurized abrasive fluid through the tool, the guiding pins cause rotation of the piston. Rotation of the piston alternately aligns a pair of flow channels included in the piston with flow paths for ejecting jets of pressurized abrasive fluid and flow paths for non-abrasive ejection of pressurized fluid. When the pair of flow channels of the piston get aligned with flow paths for ejecting jets of pressurized abrasive fluid, the tool is operated in the abrasive mode.

  • Publication number: 20240386249
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for generating one or more conditionally dependent data entries using a probabilistic generative model, and for training that model. The probabilistic generative model is trained using a plurality of data generation tasks respectively corresponding to a plurality of vectors each having a sequence of differently indexed data entries that are conditionally dependent on each other. Each of the data generation tasks involves generating at least one latent data entry selected from the sequence of data entries in response to being provided at least one index for each of the at least one latent data entry. Training can be performed by minimizing an expected value of a denoising loss over all training stages.
