Patent number: 11928105Abstract: This disclosure provides a novel framework that alleviates shortcomings in the art, and provides a token holder with authorized access to a range of attached functionalities, via data attachments that extend rights to token-associated digital data. According to an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a request from a holder of a token instance to provide a list of unique tokens associated with a user identifier, retrieving the list of unique tokens from a database, and transmitting the list of unique tokens to the holder. The method receives a selection of a unique token and transmits attachment data associated with the selected unique token to the holder. The method then receives interaction information indicating an interaction by the user with the attachment data, transmits a request to provide the attachment data to the user, and updates the database to reflect that the attachment data has been acted upon by the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Inventor: Ronald George Martinez

Patent number: 11180970Abstract: A lower packer, seal stinger, upper packer, running tool, and setting tool is positioned into the wellbore. A force is applied by the setting tool, which causes the seal stinger to be pushed into a seal receptacle of the lower packer. The seal stinger is pushed by pushing the running tool which causes the upper packer to be pushed which causes the seal stinger to be pushed. A force is also applied by an internal rod of the setting tool to pull the running tool which causes the running tool to hold the lower packer in place as the seal stinger is pushed into the seal receptacle. The running tool and setting tool is then removed from the wellbore, wherein the lower packer, seal stinger, and upper packer comprise the straddle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Barry Richardson Main, Ronald George Taylor
