Publication number: 20260041420Abstract: The invention relates to a suturing device used to please sutures inside of a body of a patient during various medical procedures. The apparatus includes an elongate member, a needle configured to extend from a portion of the elongate member, and a needle catch configured to receive at least a portion of the needle The needle catch has a plate member defining an opening. The plate member has an edge portion that is disposed adjacent to the opening. The edge portion of the plate member has a curved portion. The curved portion is curved about a center of curvature. At least a portion of the opening being disposed between the edge portion and the center of curvature.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2025Publication date: February 12, 2026Inventor: Luis Parra

Patent number: 11613985Abstract: A technique facilitates smart alarming, event detection, and/or event mitigation. The smart alarming may be achieved by, for example, automating detection processes and using advanced signal processing techniques. In some applications, event detection is enhanced by combining different alarms to facilitate diagnosis of a condition, e.g. a pump condition. The occurrence of certain unwanted events can be mitigated by automatically adjusting operation of a well system according to suitable protocols for a given event.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Sensia LLCInventors: Dudi Abdullah Rendusara, Luis Parra, Roderick Ian MacKay, Ming-Kei Keith Lo, Jeffery Anderson

Patent number: 9714568Abstract: Event-based telemetry for artificial lift in wells is described. An example downhole system can sense triggering events and anomalies in a well or electrical submersible pump (ESP) string, and send information about the triggering event with priority to a monitoring and control system. A telemetry manager can select specific sensors to address the triggering event, and then determine how frequently the selected sensors acquire or sample sensor data. The telemetry manager may then assemble a data stream that prioritizes the sensor data for transmission on limited bandwidth, thereby sending the most important data about the triggering event with the highest priority, even when there is limited transmission bandwidth available.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Dudi Abdullah Rendusara, Luis Parra, Adrian Ronald Francis

Patent number: 9664004Abstract: A modular donwhole tool system with a single electric hydraulic drive assembly. The assembly includes an electric hydraulic interface for coupling to any of a variety of different modular donwhole tools. Such tools may include a plug setting actuator, sleeve shifting actuator, valve effecting actuator and a variety of other radially or axially driven hydraulically powered actuators. Indeed, a variety of different actuators may be combined within the same system, tailored based on given downhole application needs. Thus, a viable off-the-shelf modular based on-site assemblage may be available to an operator for running off of a single electric hydraulic drive assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Ruben Martinez, Luis Parra
