Patent number: 11905774Abstract: A downhole anchor mechanism for use in downhole tools. The downhole anchor mechanism generally consists of a plurality of sliders that pivot outwardly from a downhole tool body to engage distal ends thereof against a well casing. The sliders are operatively engaged within faceted cavities associated with the tool body, which creates load components that act in a tangential direction, allowing a thin-walled tool body to withstand increased holding force.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: VERTICE OIL TOOLS INC.Inventor: Shannon Martin

Publication number: 20230417511Abstract: An armor system can include a carrier configured to be donned into a worn position on a torso of a wearer. The carrier can include a front panel configured to be positioned along an anterior of the torso in the worn position. The carrier can further include a rear panel configured to be positioned along a posterior of the torso in the worn position. The armor system can further include an armor pouch attached or attachable by at least one strap to the carrier so as to be reconfigurable by overhead movement between (i) a loading configuration in which the armor pouch is suspended by the strap and hanging along and exterior to the front panel, and (ii) a protection configuration in which the armor pouch is suspended by the strap and is overlaying an exterior portion of the rear panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: John Ly, Jodie Udzenija, Shannon Martin, Will Ayres

Patent number: 10508519Abstract: An adjustable tubular string nose uses axially relatively movable wedge segments to form a variable diameter ring shape using technology described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,128,146 in another context. The nose has a seat around a passage therethrough. After insertion of the nose into a first bore, typically a main bore, the nose is retracted out of the main bore and pressure against a seated bore in the nose expands the nose radially to a degree where re-entry into the main bore is precluded but entry into a lateral bore is still possible. The string advances onto a lateral no-go. This signals surface personnel to pick up and raise pressure to blow the seated ball through the seat to again open the passage in the nose. A seal stack behind the nose in advanced into a lateral seal bore and the treatment can then commence.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Bryan P. Pendleton, Joseph E. Sheehan, John Vu, Shannon Martin, Deshuttaney Mosley, Mark J. Knebel

Patent number: 10435959Abstract: A method of treating a first bore and at least one second bore connected to the first bore in one downhole trip includes guiding a treating tool including a seal assembly defining and a shroud extending about the seal assembly downhole, guiding the seal assembly and the shroud along a diverter positioned near an intersection of the first bore and the at least one second bore into the at least one second bore, shifting the shroud relative to the seal assembly exposing the seal assembly in the at least one second bore, performing a first treatment in the at least one second bore, positioning the seal assembly and the shroud uphole of the diverter, passing the seal assembly through an opening in the diverter having a diverter opening, and performing a second treatment in the first bore.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Bryan P. Pendleton, Joseph Sheehan, Deshuttaney Mosley, Shannon Martin, John Vu, Matthew J. Krueger, Mark J. Knebel

Publication number: 20080008320Abstract: A chaotic communication system employs transmitting and receiving chaotic oscillating circuits. One improvement to first-generation systems is the ability to modulate a nonreactive element in the transmitting circuit, thus increasing modulation bandwidth. Other features include insertion of a gain control amplifier in a chaotic receiver; signal filtering in chaotic transmitters and receivers; use of chaotic modulation techniques for cellular telephony applications; dual-transmitter and receiver systems; a dual receiver synchronization detector; interfaces to communication systems; analog chaotic signal modulation; use of multiple chaotic transmitters and receivers; digital algorithm improvement using a cube-law nonlinear component; a Gb-only receiver; a Gb-only transmitter; and positive slope transmitter and receiver systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2007Publication date: January 10, 2008Applicant: Science Applications International CorporationInventors: Daniel Hinton, Nelson Dew, Laurance Longtin, Charles Gardner, Shannon Martin, Michael Edwards, Antwong Berkley, Steven Bowser
