  • Patent number: 11952849
    Abstract: A setting tool for use in wells includes a mandrel formed with an interior combustion chamber. The setting tool further includes a barrel piston sized and configured to extend at least partially over an exterior of the mandrel and a shear device coupled to a portion of the mandrel and coupled to the barrel piston when in an in-line configuration. The mandrel includes an upper portion having a lead portion, an engagement portion, and a wrench-application portion. The wrench-application portion has a longitudinal length in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 to receive a wrench and avoid damage to the shear device. Other tools are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9788381
    Abstract: Embodiments are included for providing an energy efficient lighting system that includes one or several luminaires. According to certain aspects, when an area covered by the luminaires is vacant, the light level in the area is measured while the luminaires are on and set to a low dim level. The measured light level is used to approximate the amount of natural light in the area and when the measured light level exceeds a predetermined nonzero light level, the luminaires are turned off for a certain time period. Once the time period expires, the light level is measured again to approximate the amount of natural light present in the area.

  • Publication number: 20150352950
    Abstract: An enclosure unit for enclosing a portion of a noise source includes an access panel that allows access to the noise source from an outside of the enclosure unit; and a noise suppression mechanism attached to the access panel. The noise suppression mechanism includes a circumferential conformal barrier configured to bracket the portion of the noise source. The conformal barrier including a base end configured to be attached to an inner surface of the access panel, a free end positioned opposed to the base end and a wall extending between the base end and the free end.

  • Publication number: 20080308997
    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling sheet material, for example, signatures or inserts, are provided. Individual systems and methods for loading and jogging stacks of sheet material are combined with systems and methods for transferring sheet material whereby the mishandling or misfeeding of sheet material is minimized or reduced. The loading and jogging aspects are characterized by pivotally mounted receptacles or bins that facilitate introducing sheet material to a conveyor. The transferring aspects include automated transfer devices adapted to grip and position stacks of sheet material, for example, into a hopper feeding a disk feeder. These automated systems and their combination minimizes or prevents the mishandling of sheet material whereby the processing of sheet material is enhanced compared to conventional systems and methods.

  • Publication number: 20070138783
    Abstract: A guide (34a) for seat belt webbing (16) in a vehicle (14) includes a support member (50) that includes an elongated slot (88) through which the seat belt webbing (16) extends. A curved surface (90) defines a portion of the elongated slot (88). The guide (34a) also includes an insert (110) that is adapted to be received in the elongated slot (88) of the support member (50) and that includes a webbing guide portion (112) for guiding the seat belt webbing (16) through the elongated slot (88). The webbing guide portion (112), during normal operating conditions, is spaced apart from the curved surface (90) of the support member (50). The webbing guide portion (112) of the insert (110), when subjected to a load from the seat belt webbing (16) that exceeds a predetermined amount, moves into engagement with and conforms to the curved surface (90) of the support member (50).

  • Publication number: 20070122184
    Abstract: A printing device securing apparatus includes a printing device having a first securing member operable to couple to an external locking device. An input tray includes a second securing member operable to couple to an external locking device, wherein the input tray is operable to couple to the printing device such that the first securing member and the second securing member are adjacent. With the input tray coupled to the printing device, an external locking device may be coupled to the first securing member and the second securing member in order to secure the printing device and the input tray if security is an issue.

  • Publication number: 20050216383
    Abstract: Telecommunications customers must frequently utilize the facilities of many different telecommunications service providers in order to transmit data from one location to another. When a telecommunications customer encounters a network problem, that customer usually must navigate a complicated web of service providers and equipment owners in order to receive meaningful technical assistance from a human technician. The present invention is designed and intended to facilitate human interactions for technical support and administrative tasks by associating customer, contract, circuit, equipment, key personnel, billing, and telco information in a database for efficient data presentation and information retrieval. Resolution of the logistical problem of tracking circuit information is achieved by organizing the information and displaying important data concurrently.
