Patent number: 10490054Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for an inline integrity checker are disclosed. The systems, methods and devices may include detection of impedance to a perforating gun disposed in a wellbore using a controller; a built-in impedance device; a shooting safety panel housing at least partially surrounding the built-in impedance device for restricting access to the built-in impedance device; one or more input devices for altering an impedance or resistance threshold level; and one or more alarms for indicating a condition exceeding the impedance or resistance threshold level as determined by the controller.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Donald Leon Crawford, Kristopher Lee Wilden, Tony Tran, Charles Eugene Hamm, Jose Maria Delgado, William George Dillon, Jose German Vicente

Patent number: 10024152Abstract: A housing contains an internal volume. A heat-sensitive device is contained by the housing and consumes a device percentage of the internal volume. The device percentage equals the percentage of the internal volume of the housing consumed by the heat-sensitive device. A phase-change material is positioned within the housing to conduct heat from the heat-sensitive device. The phase-change material consumes a percentage of the internal volume equal to 100 percent minus the device percentage minus an expansion percentage. The phase-change material expands in volume by an amount more than 75 percent of the expansion percentage upon occurrence of a phase-change event.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2013Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Clovis S. Bonavides, William George Dillon

Patent number: 5222544Abstract: Sand cores are bonded to form an assembly, using paste usually containing clay or silicates. Bonding is carried out by (a) coating at least one interfacing surface of intermating core parts with paste in a thickness of about 0.005-0.20 inches; (b) mating the coated interfacing surface of one core part to the other core part to form an assembly; and (c) subjecting the paste in the assembly to microwave energy at an energy level of about 5-7 kilowatts to effectively dry the paste in a manner proceeding first from the interior of the paste body to its outer peripheral extremities. The subjection to microwave energy draws the core parts closer together by shrinking the paste coating and by causing the paste to boil and drive the paste into pores and/or voids of the intermating core surfaces; such subjection is preferably carried out for a time period of 10-30 seconds.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: George A. Dillon, Gary J. Holodnak, Nick Dadas

Patent number: 4886073Abstract: An improved shoulder strength adduction device is provided for use in determining the strength of a person's shoulder musculature. The device comprises a pair of hand grips connected by pivotal scissors frames to a support bar and a load bar, with a force gauge unit being mounted between the support and load bars. Exertion of manual adduction force to move the hand grips toward each other is effective to urge the support and load bars toward each other, whereby the adduction force can be detected and displayed by the force gauge unit to provide a direct reading of shoulder or upper body strength. The device includes a variety of mechanical improvements designed to enhance ease of use while achieving increased force indicating accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1988Date of Patent: December 12, 1989Assignee: Dillon/Quality Plus, Inc.Inventors: George A.

Patent number: 4243734Abstract: Micro-dots carrying indicia identifying the owner of an article and the method of preparing and using such micro-dots. The micro-dots are small pieces of foil of any of several shapes with square being the preferred shape, and having an area defined by sides having an extent in the nature of 0.007 inch. Printed on the area of each dot is indicia identifying a particular owner. The method consists essentially of printing the indicia in multiple units on a large plate with the images being reduced in size by step photographing process, which results in a glass slide having the negatives of the images developed thereon. These images are transferred photographically to a piece of film of the same size which is cut into the individual dots. It is then immersed in a fluid, such as a clear resin, and applied to an article that is to be protected. The article or any part thereof with the micro-dots thereon is retrieved and examined by a microscope to identify the owner.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1978Date of Patent: January 6, 1981Inventor: George A.
