Patent number: 11066928Abstract: A telemetry method transmits data from a downhole location to a surface location. During transmission an event is detected that makes it desirable to change a transmitted data stream. A downhole processor processes the detected event in combination with a predefined event database and downhole measurement data using a frame building algorithm to compute a digital data stream. Synchronization markers are added to the data stream to obtain a synchronized data stream in which the synchronization markers identify the detected event. The synchronized data stream is transmitted to the surface location using a downhole telemetry tool and received at the surface location to obtain a decoded data stream. A surface processor processes the synchronization markers to identify the detected event and further processes the detected event in combination with a predefined event database and the decoded data stream using the frame building algorithm to obtain the downhole measurements.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Nirina David Raveloson, Alex David Close, Nikhil Kotian, William James Robert Thomson, Prince Mathew Samuel

Publication number: 20190356166Abstract: Embodiments relate to a medical simulator system configured to be powered and/or charged via induction technology. The medical simulator system includes a medical simulator having a simulator induction coil in connection with electrical circuitry and/or a power supply. The system also includes a charging station induction coil. The charging station may be stationary or mobile. When the simulator induction coil is placed proximate the charging station induction coil, or vice versa, inductive coupling causes a voltage to be generated in the simulator induction coil. This voltage is used to provide electrical power to the electrical circuitry and/or charge the power supply.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Adam Christopher Hellein, Alexander Robert Thomson, Jerry Woods

Patent number: 10451438Abstract: Systems and methods to calibrate a gyroscope based on a motion of a predetermined characteristic. Data representing gyro sensor signals during a period of time is stored. A portion of the time period is identified, during which portion the gyroscope is subjected to a motion of the predetermined characteristic. Using the stored data the gyro signals are integrated with respect to time to calculate orientation of the gyroscope as a function of time. Deviation of a characteristic of the orientation of the gyroscope as the function of time during the portion of time period for the motion of the predetermined characteristic is determined to identify a component of bias in the gyro signals. The bias component is removed from the data to re-calculate the gyroscope orientation, and possible to further calculate the deviation in the re-calculated orientation and to identify a further bias component in the gyro signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: ALPINEREPLAY, INC.Inventors: Claire Louise Roberts-Thomson, Anatole M.
