  • Patent number: 12116881
    Abstract: An apparatus including an assembly associated with a downhole tool configured to thermally isolate a thermally sensitive component. Components of the assembly include an external isolating vessel; a passive thermal barrier encased in the external isolating vessel; at least one electronic component housed within the downhole tool for monitoring geothermal well properties; and at least one thermally sensitive electronics carrier package positioned within the passive thermal barrier comprising thermally sensitive electronic components. The passive thermal barrier ideally comprises an additively manufactured layered labyrinthine shell structure, a plurality of polarly phased centralizers between shell layers and minimal centralizing contact points on its exterior shell, to minimize known heat transfer modes associated with the external isolating vessel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11213419
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to orthotic devices, systems, and methods configured to support a lumbar spine. In some embodiments, a lumbar spinal orthosis system includes a torso belt configured to be secured about a torso of a user, a pelvic belt configured to be secured about a pelvis of the user, and a distractive force mechanism connected between the torso belt and the pelvic belt. The distractive force mechanism is configured to generate a force between the torso belt and the pelvic belt acting bi-directionally across a lumbar spine of the user to substantially offload bodyweight of the user passing through the lumbar spine.
