  • Publication number: 20240368959
    Abstract: A technique facilitates deploying and setting a liner hanger assembly while securely retaining liner hanger slips during running-in-hole. The liner hanger assembly may comprise a variety of components such as a mandrel, a cone, a plurality of slips, a retention ring, and an actuator. The slips may each be configured with an upper retention end and a lower retention end having a plurality of angles which interlock with corresponding angles of the cone and the retention ring. Additionally, a portion of the actuator may be sized to slide over an axial end of the retention ring to prevent inadvertent decoupling of the slips after installing the slips along the exterior of the cone.

  • Publication number: 20240352897
    Abstract: A method of suppressing contrails emitted by a propulsion system of an aircraft. A first fuel composition is fed into the propulsion system for a predetermined period. The expiry of the predetermined period is detected with a timer. Upon expiry of the predetermined period, a second fuel composition is fed into the propulsion system. The second fuel composition is more prone to cause contrails than the first fuel composition. Contrails generated by the propulsion system are detected as the second fuel composition is fed into the propulsion system. If a contrail is detected, the steps of the method are repeated.

  • Patent number: 12080534
    Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising: trapping ions in an ion trap (40); applying a first force on the ions within the ion trap in a first direction, said force having a magnitude that is dependent upon the value of a physicochemical property of the ions; applying a second force on these ions in the opposite direction so that the ions separate according to the physicochemical property value as a result of the first and second forces; and then pulsing or driving ions out of one or more regions of the ion trap.
