  • Patent number: 11965416
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for remote well operation control. Methods include conducting, with a plurality of remote well operation control hosts operating on corresponding remote well logging data acquisition management systems, a well operation using a well operation system at a well, wherein the well operation system includes a carrier having disposed thereon at least one logging instrument. Methods may include establishing a first operational control relationship between the carrier and a first of the plurality of remote well operation control hosts sufficient for the first remote well operation control host to control the carrier; and establishing a second operational control relationship between a selected one of the at least one logging instrument and a second remote well operation control host different than the first, the operational control relationship sufficient for the second remote well operation control host to control the at least one logging instrument and receive logging data.

  • Patent number: 5832643
    Abstract: A display sign includes a translucent, planar back panel attached to a front, open portion of a generally rectangular housing which contains a light source. Disposed on a front surface of the back panel in a vertically spaced manner are a first plurality of parallel, linear, horizontally aligned tracks, or rails. The display sign further includes a plurality of front panels each having a respective second plurality of horizontally aligned, vertically spaced, linear tracks on an aft surface thereon. Each of the second tracks is adapted to engage a respective one of the first tracks on the front of the sign's back panel for securely and removably attaching the front panels to the back panel. The depth of each of the second tracks, or the extent each of the second tracks extends outwardly from the aft surface of a front panel, is the same for all tracks on a given front panel, with the depth of the tracks on adjacent panels being different.

  • Patent number: 4136659
    Abstract: A capacitor discharge ignition system including a DC to AC inverter circuit for converting a battery voltage to high voltage AC, and a rectifier for rectifying the high voltage to DC. A power capacitor and the primary winding of the ignition coil are serially coupled across the output of the rectifier. A silicon controlled rectifier is also coupled across the output of the rectifier and has its trigger element coupled to a trigger circuit which provides a trigger signal to turn on the silicon controlled rectifier in response to opening of breaker points thus causing the power capacitor to discharge through the primary winding of the ignition coil thereby to provide the requisite high voltage in the secondary winding to provide the spark at the respective spark plug.
