  • Patent number: 10612542
    Abstract: Techniques involve a motor assembly including a rotor and a stator. The stator includes a contact surface for contacting an outer surface of the rotor. The contact surface includes a rigid material. The motor assembly also includes at least one constraint disposed along a length of the motor assembly, where the constraint constrains a radial and/or tangential movement of the rotor relative to the stator. The at least one constraint may be disposed at one or more proximate ends of the motor assembly, and/or along the length of the motor assembly. The contact surface of the stator may have a profile including peaks and valleys, and in some embodiments, the contact surface may be treated to reduce friction and/or wear.

  • Patent number: 10557731
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus is provided for measuring within a region of a conduit for guiding a flow. The apparatus includes a transducer arrangement disposed at least partially around an external surface of a wall of the conduit and having one or more driver elements for exciting in operation a helical acoustic wave propagation within the wall of the conduit for leaking acoustical energy from the helical acoustic wave propagation over an extensive area of the wall of the conduit for stimulating waves in chordal paths within the flow, wherein the waves in the choral paths within the flow re-enter the wall of the conduit to propagate further as a guided helical wave. The transducer arrangement includes one or more sensors for receiving a re-entered portion of the acoustic wave propagation along the paths within the flow which interacts with the flow and includes information characterizing properties of the flow.

  • Patent number: 10538453
    Abstract: A method for cutting thin glass, wherein the thin glass is heated with a laser beam along a path forming a cutting line moving along a forward feed direction, such that a crack propagates along the cutting line and cuts through the thin glass. The laser beam is formed by a beam-forming optic in such a way that the beam profile thereof has an elongated shape. The laser beam is orientated on the surface of the thin glass such that the longitudinal direction thereof is aligned in the feed direction. The elongated shape of the beam profile is asymmetric, such that the intensity course differs at the ends of the beam profile in such a way that the increase in intensity at the front end crossing the thin glass first is steeper than the drop in intensity at the opposite rear end.

  • Publication number: 20190368974
    Abstract: A method for evaluating load performance of a rotor/stator test coupon, advantageously within a sealable test chamber comprising test fluid. In some embodiments, the test coupon comprises at least a partial length of a PDM stage, and in others the test coupon comprises a splined rotor/stator. The method includes rotating either the rotor section or the stator section, wherein such rotation actuates corresponding rotation of the other of the rotor section and the stator section. on-linear torque in the form of an acceleration torque and/or a braking torque may be applied to either the rotor section or the stator section. Some embodiments include simulating downhole stall conditions via selectively engaging and disengaging a second motor and flywheel to vary rotational torque applied to the test coupon. Load performance of the test coupon may be evaluated over time in such simulated stall conditions.
