Patent number: 10480251Abstract: Expandable reamer assemblies include an expandable reamer module and an activation module. An outer tubular body of the activation module is rigidly coupled to a tubular body of the expandable reamer module, and an activation member of the activation module is coupled to a sleeve of the expandable reamer module, the sleeve coupled to at least one blade and configured to move the at least one blade into an extended position. The sleeve moves axially responsive to axial movement of the activation member. Bottom-hole assemblies include an expandable reamer module and an activation module. The activation module is coupled to the expandable reamer module and configured to provide a motive force to the sleeve to move the sleeve opposite a direction of flow of drilling fluid. Methods of using expandable reamer modules include pairing two substantially identical expandable reamer modules and two respective different activation modules.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLCInventors: Steven R. Radford, Marcus Oesterberg, Khoi Q. Trinh, Timothy Miller, Shyam Anandampillai, Chad T. Jurica, Wolfgang E. Herberg, Carsten Haubold, Christopher Jakubeit, Michael Wiegmann, Jens Behnsen, Hans-Juergen Faber

Publication number: 20110037221Abstract: A paper-handling installation is initially set for executing a job to process a predetermined number of articles during a predetermined time period. During the processing, the number of articles detected which are processed during the predetermined time period is detected. If the detected number of articles is larger than or equal to the predetermined number, the speed at which articles are processed in a section of the paper-handling installation will be increased. If the detected number of articles is smaller than the predetermined number, it will be detected which of the sections of the installation caused a reduction of the throughput, and which installation parameters and/or article parameters existed at that point in time. On the basis of the parameters detected, an installation parameter of the section is then set, and/or the speed is reduced in at least that section. This procedure is repeated until the job has been executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2007Publication date: February 17, 2011Inventor: Michael Wiegmann

Patent number: 7717413Abstract: A paper-handling unit serves for generating groups of items, wherein each group includes a plurality of items. The paper-handling unit includes at least one input channel for receiving the items, a portion to generate groups from the received items, a drive-out station for driving out a generated group, a detector detecting predetermined features from the items of a driven-out group, and a controller. The controller is operable to determine whether a predetermined event has occurred to drive the drive-out station to drive out a group if the predetermined event has occurred, to determine whether information was obtained from the detector during a predetermined interval, to stop the paper-handling unit if no information was obtained from the detector during the predetermined interval, and to stop the paper-handling unit if information was obtained from the detector during the predetermined interval which indicates that the driven-out group does not meet at least one predetermined criterion.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Boewe Systec AGInventors: Michael Wiegmann, Rodolf Eichler, Uwe Meister
