Patent number: 12065884Abstract: A method of manufacturing a roller cone includes machining a cone blank and thereby defining one or more land surfaces and one or more insert grooves on the cone blank, surface hardening the cone blank, and milling a plurality of recesses into at least one of the one or more land surfaces. The method further includes subjecting the cone blank to a quenching process, forming an insert hole at each recess, and inserting an insert into each insert hole.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Taurex Drill Bits, LLCInventors: Yongzhong Cai, Dongze Yang, Yuan Yi, Dustin Lyles, Terry Vance Morris

Patent number: 11530576Abstract: A drill bit includes a bit body providing one or more blades and defining a cone section extending from a centerline of the bit body a first distance, a nose section extending from the cone section a second distance, a shoulder section extending from the nose section a third distance, and a gauge section extending from the shoulder section a fourth distance. The drill but further includes one or more cutting elements mounted to the one or more blades outside of the cone section such that the cone section is void of cutting elements, and a plurality of milling elements secured to the bit body within the cone section.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: TAUREX DRILL BITS, LLCInventors: Dustin Lyles, Matthew Mumma, Ryan Mathews, Terry Vance Morris

Patent number: 11301989Abstract: A method of quantifying wear data on a well tool includes identifying the well tool based on a solid model file and a data file corresponding to the well tool, wherein the solid model and data files are stored on a computer system and separately identify wear parts of the well tool, scanning the well tool with a scanner and thereby generating a scanned file of the well tool, the scanner being in communication with the computer system, aligning the scanned file with the solid model file to obtain an overlay output, creating digital features on the wear parts of the scanned file, and calculating deviation between the solid model file and the scanned file at the digital features for the wear parts and thereby determining material removed from the wear parts of the well tool.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Taurex Drill Bits, LLCInventors: Dustin Lyles, Jerry Rhoades, Warren Dyer, Matthew Mumma

Patent number: 9223607Abstract: This application describes a system and techniques for managing the replication, migration, or backing up of virtual machines (VM) operating on a computing device. The techniques include managing real time or near real replication or migration of VM operations logs between computing devices. The operations logs include information or data that would enable another VM to function or operate in the same manner as the VM that generated the operations logs. Techniques are presented herein to insure the replication or migration process of VMs is not open ended or indefinite. For example, the write rate of the source operations log is managed to insure the replication or migration of the source operations log to destination device terminates within a reasonable amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Palash Kar, Dustin Lyle Green, Sriravi Kotagiri, Rahul Shrikant Newaskar

Patent number: 8281013Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the non-disruptive and reliable live migration of a virtual machine (VM) from a source host to a target host, where network data is placed directly into the VM's memory. When a live migration begins, a network interface card (NIC) of the source stops placing newly received packets into the VM's memory. A virtual server driver (VSP) on the source stores the packets being processed and forces a return of the memory where the packets are stored to the NIC. When the VM has been migrated to the target, and the source VSP has transferred the stored packets to the target host, the VM resumes processing the packets, and when the VM sends messages to the target NIC that the memory associated with a processed packet is free, a VSP on the target intercepts that message, blocking the target NIC from receiving it.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2011Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sambhrama Madhusudhan Mundkur, Alireza Dabagh, Dustin Lyle Green, Narasimha Rao S.
