Patent number: 11059153Abstract: A bit puller incorporates an inner element with a longitudinal axis and having a central shaft, a base with external threads and an engagement mechanism internal to the inner element adapted to engage a drill bit. An outer element is concentric with the inner element and has a foot portion for engaging a work piece. Internal threads in the outer element are adapted to engage the external threads of the base wherein rotation of the inner element with respect to the outer element withdraws the inner element along the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Kareem Gamal Shehab

Patent number: 10969367Abstract: Apparatus and methods for ultrasonic inspection of elongated composite members in a single scan pass using pulse echo phased arrays operating in a bubbler method. The system concept is fully automated by integrating an inspection NDI probe assembly to a robot and using the robot to move the inspection NDI probe assembly along the part (i.e., outside of an inspection tank); and by integrating tooling fixtures that move out of the way as the inspection NDI probe assembly travels along the length of the part during the inspection. In addition, the system allows for generally elongated composite members having lengthwise variation in shape, curvature and dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Barry A. Fetzer, Justin D. Serrill, Kareem Gamal Shehab

Patent number: 10907679Abstract: A fastening tool system includes a housing including a main body having a proximal end and a distal end. The main body defines an internal chamber extending between a proximal opening at the proximal end and a distal opening at the distal end. A plunger includes a stem that extends into the internal chamber through the proximal opening. The plunger is configured to be moved in relation to the main body between a retracted position and an extended position. A securing stud is in a collapsed position when the plunger is in the retracted position. The plunger is configured to move into the extended position to engage the securing stud to expand the securing stud into an expanded position.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventor: Kareem Gamal Shehab

Patent number: 7467685Abstract: An apparatus for generating a seismic signal in a wellbore includes an elongated housing configured to be disposed in the wellbore; a piston slidably disposed in an internal bore in the elongated housing; a strike plate fixed on the elongated housing proximate one end of the internal bore; and an energizing mechanism configured to move the piston to hit the strike plate. A downhole system for seismic survey of a formation penetrated by a wellbore includes at least one seismic receiver; a seismic source; and at least one inflatable packer configured to separate the seismic source and the at least one seismic receiver in different compartments in the wellbore when inflated.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2004Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Gamal Shehab, Robert D. Mann, Brian Abbott, James F. Minear, David Gillis, George R. Kear

Patent number: 6751557Abstract: A rock classification system involves the use of a Ternary Diagram (TD) Model and a set of rules in a rule base. A computer, which stores a rock classification software which includes the rule base, will be responsive to certain data points from a Spectroscopy Sonde, will compare each data point with each of the rules in the rule base, and, when a match is found, will generate a specific rock classification for that data point. When a plurality of data points are input to the computer, a corresponding plurality of rock classifications are generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2003Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Gamal Shehab, Anish Kumar, George Richard Kear, Oswaldo E.

Patent number: 6675895Abstract: The combination of the cement contamination laboratory measurements and the field log measurement allows to perform the evaluation of cement placement and quality related to the designed percentage cement displacement coverage and set-up times in the casing annulus. Since the logging time after the cement job is completed is known, a comparison between the acoustic impedance or compressive strength measured using the USI log and the acoustic impedance or the compressive strength measured in the laboratory, a level of mud contamination can be derived at every point across the wellbore. From the laboratory correlations, cement strength prediction with time can be established. This new product will give the operator an accurate tool to recommend performing remedial cementing with a higher success rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Gamal Shehab, John F.
