Publication number: 20240102378Abstract: A downhole gauge for recording data during well treatment comprised of an outer housing having pressure ports, and a pressure-tight inner housing wherein a plurality of sensors, a power source, and a memory configured to store measured data are housed. The outer housing consists of a first section having external pressure ports with a spherical outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface with a hollow lattice structure within, and a second half having no ports with a spherical outer surface and a conical inner surface with an internal hollow lattice structure within. The inner housing consists of a cylindrical body comprised of one section having no ports, and a second section having one port wherein a plurality of sensors can be affixed. The inner housing sections are releasably coupled to form a pressure-tight seal. Further, the outer housing sections are releasably coupled and enclose the inner housing therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: John Nielsen, Lee Hayford, Michael Vlaicov, Mark Hartwell, Casey Bechdol, Stephen Snelgrove

Patent number: 10050969Abstract: A method of authenticating a user so that the user can access a website without entering a unique user credential. A user accesses a target and is presented with an authentication code and an address, and the user sends a message containing the authentication code to that address. Alternatively, the user is pre-supplied with an address and is presented only with an authentication code when the user accesses the target. The user's identity is authenticated by comparing an aspect of the metadata of the message with known metadata aspects, and the user is authenticated by comparing the authentication key presented to the user with the one received in the message. Both the user and the user's identity are authenticated in a single step without requiring the user to input any unique user credential.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: TEXTPOWER, INC.Inventors: Robert Foster, Scott Goldman, Mark Nielsen

Publication number: 20150113615Abstract: Systems and method for authenticating users are presented. A system can send a passkey to a user interface of a known device. A user can then send a messaging service message with the passkey from a second device to the system. After receiving the message from the user, the system can extract the passkey from the message, and compare the received passkey against the passkey originally sent to the user. The known device and the second device can each have separate and unique device identifiers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2014Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: Robert Foster, Scott Goldman, Mark Nielsen
