Publication number: 20210108481Abstract: A lower packer, seal stinger, upper packer, running tool, and setting tool is positioned into the wellbore. A force is applied by the setting tool, which causes the seal stinger to be pushed into a seal receptacle of the lower packer. The seal stinger is pushed by pushing the running tool which causes the upper packer to be pushed which causes the seal stinger to be pushed. A force is also applied by an internal rod of the setting tool to pull the running tool which causes the running tool to hold the lower packer in place as the seal stinger is pushed into the seal receptacle. The running tool and setting tool is then removed from the wellbore, wherein the lower packer, seal stinger, and upper packer comprise the straddle assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2018Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Barry Richardson Main, Ronald George Taylor

Patent number: 10742655Abstract: Access to a resource controlled by a resource server (6, 8) is provided using a validity token issued by a validation server (4). When a resource request from a user (12) is received at the resource server (6, 8), then the resource server (6, 8) determines if the resource request satisfies a policy. If the resource request satisfies the policy, then access to the resource may be permitted without confirming the validity of the validation token with the validation server (4). Conversely, if the resource request does not satisfy the policy, then validation of the validation token with the validation server (4) is performed before the access requested is permitted.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: ARM IP LimitedInventors: Robert George Taylor, Milosch Meriac, Andrew John Pritchard, Hannes Tschofenig, Christopher Mark Paola
