Publication number: 20210083315Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a battery utilizing an indicator to orient an unopposed portion of a cathode or anode with respect to a battery can, and a tag to generate an electromagnetic field to mitigate or eliminate an electromagnetic field generated by the unopposed portion of the cathode or anode. The battery includes a wound set of layers including a cathode, an anode, and a separator; a can housing the wound set of layers; a lid disposed atop of the can to enclose the wound set of layers within the can; and a tag coupled to the lid. An unopposed portion of the cathode or anode generates a first electromagnetic field. The tag generates a second electromagnetic field to oppose the first electromagnetic field.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: Katherine I.

Patent number: 10907440Abstract: A component on a composite bridge plug used for plugging a wellbore includes a first member including a wound composite material, and a second member including a molded fiber phenolic composite material. The wound composite material of the first member makes up more than half of a volume of the component. The first member is a convolute-wound core having a cylindrical shape. The second member forms an outer shell that is molded over an outer surface of the first member. The component is a cone of the composite bridge plug.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Kyle Tse, Colby Jarrett

Publication number: 20200403210Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to an electrical feedthrough for a battery cell. The electrical feedthrough may include a pin configured to form an external battery terminal, an insulator surrounding the pin and configured to electrically isolate the pin, a channel, and a serpentine tab electrically coupled to the pin at a first end. The serpentine tab is nested within the channel to minimize use of space within an enclosure of the battery cell thereby increasing energy capacity of the battery cell by eliminating the need to allot space within the enclosure to accommodate the tab.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Kyle Tse, Abhishek P.

Patent number: 10494893Abstract: A technique for manufacturing a millable bridge plug for plugging of a wellbore during, for example, a fracturing operation. A bridge plug is constructed with an obstructed internal passage. The obstructed internal passage is formed by winding a composite material about a wrapping mandrel having at least one cylindrical part and a solid part coupled thereto. The cylindrical part is removed after a curing process leaving a mandrel with a plugged internal passageway upon which a seal member combined with a plurality of slips for engaging a surrounding wall, e.g. a surrounding wellbore wall, may be coupled.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Kyle Tse, Colby Jarrett

Publication number: 20180291700Abstract: An apparatus includes a body member and a ring member. The body member has a through passageway, and the body member includes an outer engagement surface. The ring member has a contracted state and an expanded state, and the ring member includes an inner engagement surface and an outer surface. The seal member is adapted to axially move with respect to the body member in response to the application of an axial force such that the outer engagement surface of the body member physically engages the inner engagement surface of the ring member to radially expand the ring member to transition the ring member to the expanded state and cause the outer surface of the ring member to contact an inner wall of a tubing string. The physical engagement of the inner engagement surface of the ring member with the outer engagement surface of the body member forms a seal between the ring member and the body member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Huilin Tu, Kyle Tse, John R. Whitsitt, Gregoire Jacob
