Publication number: 20240084669Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a process for regulating a wellhead control mechanism. The apparatus controls actuation of a wellhead control mechanism by moving a moveable body of the apparatus between a first position and a second position. When the apparatus is in the first position a valve actuator is actuatable. When the apparatus is in the second position the valve actuator is physically interfered from actuating. Additionally, when the apparatus is in the second position, the wellhead control mechanism cannot be actuated and is held in either an open, a partially open or a closed position. Further, a system may directly control actuation of a wellhead actuation mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Intelligent Wellhead Systems Inc.Inventors: Bradley Robert Martin, Murad Mohammad, Sheldon Kryger, Robert Duncan

Patent number: 11917400Abstract: Cellular connections can be used to provision non-cellular devices such as internet-of-things (IoT) devices. For example, IoT devices can comprise Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular capabilities. However, the cellular capability can be used to provision the IoT devices using non-internet protocol data delivery to prevent security vulnerabilities. Data can be transmitted to the IoT device using core elements without using an IP stack. Thus, IoT device configurations and the keys can be provisioned over-the-air without the use of internet protocol data.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Jordan Alexander, Robert Holden, Jeffrey Martin Bartlett
