  • Patent number: 11781405
    Abstract: A method of deliquification of production wells includes placing an artificial lift tool in a gas wellbore, where the artificial lift tool includes a rack and multiple piezoelectric transducers. The rack includes multiple trays. Each piezoelectric transducer of the multiple piezoelectric transducers is positioned on a respective tray of the multiple trays. The method further includes providing, by a pump, a liquid on surfaces of the multiple piezoelectric transducers and providing, by a signal source, an electrical signal to the multiple piezoelectric transducers. The method also includes generating, by the multiple piezoelectric transducers, acoustic waves from the electrical signal, where at least some of the liquid provided to the multiple piezoelectric transducers is atomized by the acoustic waves.

  • Patent number: 11784829
    Abstract: A phytosanitary treatment blockchain is generated from automatically gathered phytosanitary treatment records. The phytosanitary treatment records are generated by matching authenticated treatment data with authenticated identification data. Matching may be based on geolocation, timestamps, or both. Authentication may be based on digital signatures using private key encryption. Separate treatment sensors and identification sensors automatically gather information about a phytosanitary treatment and the item being treated. The gathered information is encrypted and transmitted to blockchain members that perform authentication, matching, and generation of the phytosanitary treatment blockchain. A tracking code may be issued for each treatment. The tracking code is used to obtain an authentication of the treatment that indicates whether the treatment passed or failed.

  • Patent number: 11381061
    Abstract: A system for servicing cable includes a field-end assembly and a live-end assembly, each mounted on a support structure having at least one drive mechanism operable to cause relative linear movement between the field-end assembly and the live-end assembly. A drilling-and-shorting assembly can create a short circuit in a field-end of the cable, and a continuity tester can test the integrity of the short-circuit. The field end of the cable can then be ejected from the system, and an end-cap-cradle assembly can position an end cap on a live end of an electrical cable and test its installation.
