  • Communicating with a tool
    Patent number: 6938689
    Abstract: A system includes a user interface device that is capable of communicating wirelessly with a tool. In one example arrangement, the tool can be a well tool or a tool having one or more explosive components. The user interface device is adapted to send commands to the tool to perform tasks, such as test operations. In one arrangement, the user interface device is a personal digital assistant (PDA) having a graphical user interface (GUI).

  • Preparation of organometal compounds
    Publication number: 20040122248
    Abstract: A method of preparing organometal compounds that does not use oxygenated solvents is provided. The compounds produced by such method are particularly useful as precursor compounds for metalorganic chemical vapor deposition processes used in the manufacture of electronic devices. Methods of depositing metal films using such organometal compounds are also provided.

  • Activation of well tools
    Patent number: 6148263
    Abstract: A safety system for use with an apparatus lowered into a well includes a power supply and a controller that monitors at least a predefined condition of the apparatus. A switch blocks power from the apparatus until the predefined condition is present. A test system includes a test device that generates a signal having a predetermined characteristic (a certain frequency, for example). A controller detects the signal and enables performance of a test operation when the signal of the predetermined frequency is present.

  • Patterned tunnel junction
    Patent number: H667
    Abstract: A multijunction solar cell is disclosed which uses a patterned intercell ohmic connection as the tunnel junction to connect a top solar cell in electrical and optical series with a bottom solar cell. By confining this patterned tunnel junction to shadowed areas directly beneath the top surface metallization grid, the tunnel junction is set free from the requirement that it be transparent and have band gaps greater than or equal to those of the top solar cell.
