Publication number: 20230277801Abstract: This invention generally provides two tactile stimulation modules, or “tappers”. One tapper is held by a person in each of his hands. Alternatively, a tapper is secured to each wrist or to other parts of the body on opposite sides. Each tapper is powered by a rechargeable battery, and contains both a tactile stimulation transducer, such as an electric motor having either a balanced or unbalanced mass on its output shaft, and a transceiver that communicates with a host or master. Each tapper includes at least one control button and a status indicator. Each tapper contains a micro-controller that performs tasks such as communication, motor activation, user monitoring and control, battery monitoring, low-power sleep, and algorithm execution.

Patent number: 11566485Abstract: An assembly is used for chemical injection through a wellhead to a capillary line in a well. A capillary hanger installs in the wellhead to support the capillary line. A no-return valve of the capillary hanger prevents fluid communication uphole from the supported capillary line. An injection module mounts above a gate valve on the wellhead and includes a movable mandrel disposed therein. Hydraulic pressure applied to a piston chamber in the module extends the mandrel through the open gate valve so that a distal end of the mandrel can open the no-return valve. At this point, chemical injection introduced into the module can communicate through a flow bore of the extended mandrel, through the open non-return valve, and on through the supported capillary line in the well.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventors: Martin Robert Douglas Oliphant, Keith Adams, Robert Andrew Hunt

Patent number: 11402291Abstract: A method of assessing damage to a composite member requires the formation of a composite member comprising at least one cavity. A first pressure differential is then established between the cavity and the surrounding ambient pressure. The rate of change of the pressure differential over a first predetermined period is monitored and then the pressure differential is allowed to subside. The result of the monitoring step is stored as a reference value, so that after the composite member is damaged, or after it has been in service for a predetermined time, the test can be repeated and compared with the reference value. If the result of the repeated monitoring differs from the reference value by more than a predetermined amount, it is determined that the composite member is defective.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2017Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Bentley Motors LimitedInventor: Martin Robert Peel

Patent number: 11293581Abstract: A pipeline inspection system is described. The system comprises a body, cameras, support members, and light sources. The cameras are coupled to the body and configured to obtain image information related to an interior surface of the pipe. The support members extend away from the body in a radial direction to contact the interior surface of the pipe and support the body. An individual support member has a first end coupled to the body, and a second end configured to contact the interior surface of the pipe. The light sources are configured to light the interior surface of the pipe. They are coupled to the support members at or near the second end such that the light sources are located in one or more radial positions near the interior surface of the pipe, separated from the one or more cameras and the body by the one or more support members.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITYInventor: Martin Robert Coghill
