  • Patent number: 11414983
    Abstract: A digital avatar may be used to represent, track, and/or monitor behavior of a tool (e.g., a downhole tool) to track particular tools based on specific characteristics of the tool. For instance, a thermal digital avatar may be used to track or predict thermal generation for particular job durations or power levels based on physical characteristics of the tool. For example, the thermal digital avatar may be used to predict thermal generation based at least in part on a thermal efficiency that is based at least in part on the age of the tool, changes or imperfections in heatsinks, results of after-manufacture thermal testing, or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20130071271
    Abstract: A valveless, pulsatile, non-contact, positive displacement, finger-pump for pumping one or more fluids is disclosed. The pump can include one or more channels for holding one or more lengths of flexible tubing. The channels can include an adjustment mechanism and/or a resilient backing plate to reduce over compression of the tubing. The pump can utilize a plurality of profiled, pivoting fingers to sequentially occlude a length of tubing causing a pumping action. The fingers can be moved from the first position to the second position by a motor driven camshaft. Cam lobes disposed on the camshaft can be a modified eccentric design to improve tube occlusion and pump efficiency. At least one cam lobe can completely occlude the tubing at all times during operation to prevent backflow. The fingers can alternatively be moved from the first position to the second position by a variety of linear actuators.
