Patent number: 11136861Abstract: Wellbore systems containing a hydraulically regulated primary safety valve may have their hydraulic regulation transferred to an insert safety valve disposed in a nipple. Transfer of the hydraulic regulation may take place mechanically, such as through axial displacement of a sliding sleeve or by replacement of a hydraulic spool. Wellbore systems configured for axial displacement of a switching mechanism may comprise: a tubing string comprising a nipple and a primary safety valve, the primary safety valve being disposed in the tubing string above or below the nipple; a control line and a balance line in hydraulic communication with the primary safety valve and in latent hydraulic communication with an internal flow pathway within the nipple; and a switching mechanism that is axially displaceable to establish hydraulic communication between an insert safety valve positioned in a bore of the nipple and both the control line and the balance line.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Jimmie Robert Williamson, Glenn Ray Davis, James Dan Vick, Jr., Robert Arthur Rademaker

Patent number: 10824531Abstract: Various models may enable a first device to share a device resource with a second device in various contexts, such as sharing computing sessions via terminal services; sharing displays via display mirroring; and sharing input components across devices. However, such techniques often utilize ad hoc sharing models that depend on configuration and/or administrative access of each device; limit the capabilities of such sharing; and/or exhibit security concerns. Instead, a target device may advertise an availability of a target device resource. A host device may request the target device to lend the target device resource to the computing environment of the host device. The target device may reserve the target device resource for the host device, which may then integrate the target device resource into the host computing environment. The model may enable the user to utilize resources even from target devices that the user is not otherwise permitted to use.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Issa Y. Khoury, Darren Ray Davis, Petteri Mikkola, Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, Kenton Allen Shipley, Keri Kruse Moran, Ramrajprabu Balasubramanian, Patrick Derks

Patent number: 10635296Abstract: In many computing scenarios, a user of a primary device may wish to incorporate an auxiliary device in the presentation of an application. Such incorporation may involve a terminal services session that projects the computing environment of the primary device onto the auxiliary device; mirroring the computing environment of the primary device through the auxiliary device; and/or utilizing applications that interoperate with client applications executing on the second device. However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, William Scott Stauber, Petteri Mikkola, Keri Kruse Moran, Issa Y.

Patent number: 10274291Abstract: A luminescent archery target enabling target shooting in low light conditions. At least a portion of the target is formed from a material that glows in the dark for long durations, such as a strontium-based luminescent composition. Example target configurations include a non-luminescent core and an outer layer applied over at least a portion of the core, wherein the outer layer includes the luminescent material. The target can be configured as a three-dimensional block, as a model of a game animal, or in other shapes and sizes.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: KRYPTOLIGHT TARGETS LLCInventors: Seth Jeremiah Davis, Herman Ray Davis

Patent number: 10277649Abstract: A user may interact with a collection of devices that each exhibit particular device properties. Where each device executes and presents an isolated computing environment, inconsistencies may arise in the user interaction by the user with different devices. Alternatively, a terminal server may present a computing environment to various auxiliary devices, but such presentation may fail to utilize some device properties of some devices, and/or may present a computing environment that is not suitable for some devices. Instead, a primary device of the device collection may adapt a primary computing environment to an auxiliary computing environment for each auxiliary device, based upon its device properties. Upon receiving a request to execute an application, the primary device may execute the application within the auxiliary computing environment, and may adapt the application based upon the device properties. The primary device may stream each auxiliary computing environment to the respective auxiliary device.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, William Scott Stauber, Petteri Mikkola, Keri Kruse Moran, Issa Y.

Patent number: 10052700Abstract: A rotary cutting tool with a longitudinal axis includes a shank portion and a cutting portion defining a length of cut. The cutting portion includes a plurality of blades separated by flutes extending along the length of cut. A first blade forms a first helix angle with respect to the longitudinal axis at the cutting tip. A second blade adjacent the first blade forms a second, different helix angle with respect to the longitudinal axis at the cutting tip. A third blade adjacent the second blade forms a third, different helix angle with respect to the longitudinal axis at the cutting tip. The first, second and third helix angles deviate by at least 2 degrees. The cutting edges of the first, second and third blades have unequal indexing.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Sergei Vladimir Boulakhov, Leonid Boris Sharivker, Danny Ray Davis, Frederick John Palmer

Patent number: 9878379Abstract: A milling cutter includes a shank and a cutting head attached to the shank. The cutting head has a plurality of helical teeth, each tooth including a cutting tip, a leading face and a rear face. A flute is defined between the leading face of a trailing tooth, and a rear face of an immediately preceding tooth. A gully of the flute has a flute base with a portion that is planar or convex in profile to provide additional volume for effective chip evacuation. A method for manufacturing the milling cutter includes rotating a cylindrical blank about its own longitudinal axis, rotating a disc-shaped flute grinding wheel) about a rotational axis of a flute wheel and moving the grinding wheel in a longitudinal direction so as to form the helical flute with the gully having the flute base with the planar or convex portion in profile.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventor: Danny Ray Davis
