Patent number: 11814908Abstract: A formation tester tool assembly includes a seal member mounted on rigid stabilizer that contacts a borehole wall separately from the seal member, so that seal exposure to a stabilization load that presses the tool against the borehole wall is limited or reduced by contact engagement of the stabilizer with the borehole wall. The stabilizer is provided by a hydraulically actuated probe piston reciprocally movable relative to a tool body on which it is mounted. The seal member is in some embodiments movable relative to the probe piston, for example being configured for hydraulic actuation to sealingly engage the borehole wall while the tool body is stabilized by action of the probe piston.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ping Sui, Nanjun Liu, Varun Gupta, Charles Kuo

Patent number: 10160281Abstract: A vehicle includes a sensor configured to detect a first road feature, an adjustable suspension system, and a processing device. The processing device is configured to determine, using a drive history map, a location of the vehicle based on the first road feature and apply a suspension profile to the suspension system. The suspension profile is associated with a second road feature identified by the drive history map, which is at a different location from the first road feature.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Douglas Scott Rhode, Shane Elwart, Nanjun Liu, Thomas Edward Pilutti
