Abstract: An apparatus with a straddle packer for use within a wellbore. The straddle packer can include a tubular body comprising a first bore and a second bore and a first sealing element configured to seal against an inner surface of a casing installed within the wellbore. A second sealing element configured to seal against the inner surface of the casing, and the second bore can be located between the first sealing element and the second sealing element. An obstruction disposed in association with the tubular body, wherein the obstruction is movable between a first position in which the obstruction opens the second bore and a second position in which the obstruction closes the second bore.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a locking mechanism for a vape cartridge. The locking mechanism can provide a sealed vape cartridge that cannot be opened by a force less than, for example, 20 kg. The use of tools is required to provide a force to open the sealed vape cartridge. The locking mechanism can provide evidence of tampering or of opening of the vape cartridge. The locking mechanism can provide quality assurance for vape materials during production, packaging, distribution, storage, and sale, while providing contamination free testing of vape materials at a quality control lab.

Abstract: A method of determining and causing display of particularized medical information is disclosed. The method comprises operations of receiving user input corresponding to a set of parameters indicating a medical condition and parsing the set of parameters to determine one or more identifiers corresponding to the medical condition. Additional operations of the method include querying an expert opinion database according to the one or more identifiers to retrieve an expert opinion entry corresponding to the medical condition and querying a guideline excerpt database according to metadata of the expert opinion entry to retrieve a guideline excerpt corresponding to the expert opinion. Following the querying of the expert opinion database and the guideline excerpt database, the method includes the operation of transmitting instructions to a network device to cause rendering of a display illustrating the video file and one of the transcript of the video file or the guideline excerpt.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for performing downhole torqueing. The apparatus may be a downhole tool for rotating a first downhole equipment disposed within a wellbore. The downhole tool may include first and second rotative members operable to rotate relative to each other along an axis of the downhole tool. The downhole tool may further include a first gripping member connected with the first rotative member and operable to engage the first downhole equipment, and a second gripping member connected with the second rotative member and operable to engage a second downhole equipment. An actuator may be operable to impart a force to cause the relative rotation between the first and second rotative members thereby causing rotation of the first downhole equipment when the first gripping member is connected with the first downhole equipment and the second gripping member is connected with the second downhole equipment.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sleeve for fitting around a spooling drum: the sleeve comprises at least a groove for receiving a conveying element to be spooled around the drum, is made of flexible material and is configured so as to be able to take a first configuration in which the sleeve forms a flat sheet, the groove extending in a direction, called spooling direction, and a second configuration in which the sleeve forms a cylinder, with the groove is situated on an external face of the cylinder.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for monitoring the performances of a cable for carrying a downhole assembly in a wellbore, the cable having at least a conductive core and an insulating outer layer, the method including: performing on the cable a detection operation for detecting the presence of local anomalies of the cable; generating an electrical model of a predetermined configuration of an installation including the cable and the downhole assembly disposed in the wellbore, the model being defined in function of the detected local anomalies, estimating a parameter relative to a signal transmitted by the cable between the downhole assembly and a surface equipment in the predetermined configuration on the basis of the electrical model.

Abstract: The tool includes a bearing member (70), a traction assembly (72) of the object (28), movably mounted in a first direction relative to the bearing member (70). It includes a plurality of hooking members (160), mounted radially mobile relative to the traction assembly (72) between a contracted configuration and a deployed configuration. The tool comprises means (164; 166) for keeping each hooking member (160) in its deployed configuration. It includes unlocking means (168; 170) that include an elastic stressing member (202; 222) applied on the holding means (164; 166). The elastic stressing member (202; 222) is capable of being compressed to cause the unlocking of the holding means (164; 166) and the passage of the hooking members (160) from their deployed configuration to their contracted configuration.

Abstract: Tension meter (82) for measuring a mechanical tension (F1) along a longitudinal direction (L) between a first element (84) and a second element (80) deployed in a well containing a fluid (50) having a fluid pressure, the tension meter comprising:—a bar (108) comprising a first portion (152), a second portion (154), and a measurement portion (156), and—a hollow member (110) defining a first chamber (169) surrounding the measurement portion, the bar being free to expand within the hollow member under the mechanical tension (F1) to be measured. The measurement portion includes at least one strain gauge (172). The tension meter includes first sealing elements for keeping the first chamber at a first chamber pressure, the measurement portion being subject to a compression force (F2) due to a difference between the fluid pressure and the first chamber pressure.

Abstract: The head (80) comprises an upper portion for attaching and connecting to a cable (32) and a lower attaching portion for electrically connecting to a control and transmission module (82) of a tool to be lowered in the well. The head (80) comprises a hollow outer enclosure (94) and a mechanical connection assembly. The mechanical connection assembly comprises an attaching member (114) and a liner (116) defining an inner lumen (121) to receive the attaching member (114) and the lower end of the cable (32) The connecting head (80) defines a first downhole electrical path (70) able to extend from a lower segment (126) of the cable to a first connector of the control and transmission module (82), the first downhole electrical path (70) being completely electrically insulated from the outer enclosure (94).
