Abstract: A flowmeter for use downhole estimates fluid flow with a helically shaped spinner member disposed in a path of the flowing fluid. Features, such as magnets, are mounted in the spinner member so that spinner member rotational rate can be sensed, thereby estimating fluid flow. Discontinuities along an axis of the spinner member define segments that are adjacent one another. Adjacent segments can differ angularly, by pitch, as well as by length. With the discontinuities, segment design is less constrained by the geometry of adjacent segments, so that feature locations on the spinner member are maintained, while maximizing sensitivity of the spinner member to fluid flow.

Abstract: A logging tool for use downhole includes sensor modules that monitor fluid flow in a wellbore. The sensor modules are disposed on flexible arms that project radially outward from the logging tool, so that the modules are located at discrete radial positions in the wellbore. The sensor modules include a flow sensor, an optical sensor, and a fluid conductivity sensor. The rate and type of fluid flowing in the wellbore can be estimated due to employing the different sensor types. A location sensor estimates the radial location of the modules so that a flow profile of the flowing fluid can be obtained.

Abstract: A vehicle has a vehicle structure including a vehicle seat having a seat back and a seat cushion intersecting at a seat bight. A vehicle anchorage system for securing a child seat on the vehicle seat comprises two lower anchorage assemblies each having a fixed member secured to the vehicle structure, an anchor having a latchable portion for releasable engagement with a lower child seat tether hook at the seat bight, and an energy absorbing mechanism operable above a predetermined force threshold to provide a limited forward displacement of the anchor and the lower child seat tether hook. The vehicle anchorage system also includes an upper anchorage assembly having a fixed portion secured to the vehicle structure, a latchable portion for releasable engagement with an upper child seat tether hook, and an energy absorbing mechanism operable above a second predetermined force threshold to provide a limited forward displacement of the latchable portion and the upper child seat tether hook.
