Patent number: 11029843Abstract: A touch sensitive keyboard is disclosed. In one embodiment, a touch sensitive keyboard is provided that has a touchpad area separate from the keyboard keys. The keyboard is configured to disabled touchpad sensitivity when certain touch signals are received. In another embodiment, a touch sensitive keyboard is used as a controller. In a controller mode, keys on a touch sensitive keyboard are adapted to output a signal strength corresponding to a distance between the key and a finger operating as a control. In an embodiment, a touch sensitive keyboard includes a processor adapted to output a keystroke in response to one of the plurality of touch sensitive keys being pressed, and to output one or more touch points determined by interpolating signal strength for each of the plurality of touch sensitive keys on the keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Tactual Labs Co.Inventors: Clifton Forlines, David Holman, Stephen Dennis, Ricardo Jorge Jota Costa, Steven Leonard Sanders, David Clark Wilkinson, Braon Moseley, Bruno Rodrigues De Araujo

Patent number: 10584583Abstract: A method including positioning a downhole acquisition tool in a wellbore in a geological formation; performing a pretest sequence to gather at least one of pressure or mobility information based on downhole acquisition from a sample line, a guard line, or both while the downhole acquisition tool is within the wellbore. The pretest sequence includes controlling a valve assembly to a first valve configuration that may allow the fluid to flow into the downhole tool via one or more flowlines toward a pretest system. The one or more flowlines include the sample line only, the guard line only, or both the sample line and the guard line; and drawing in the fluid through the one or more flowlines. The method also includes controlling the valve assembly to a second valve configuration. The second valve configuration is different from the first valve configuration and may block the one or more flowlines from drawing in the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Adriaan Gisolf, Tudor Ioan Palaghita, Stephen Dennis Parks, Ashers Partouche

Patent number: 10533693Abstract: Apparatus and methods for filling a pressure compensated fluid container with a liquid. An example method includes restraining movement of a piston slidably disposed within the fluid container in a first piston position, wherein the piston divides the fluid container into first and second portions. The method further includes pumping the liquid into the first portion to compress gas located within the first portion, stopping the pumping of the liquid into the first portion, and stopping the restraining of movement of the piston to permit the piston to move to a second piston position due to expansion of the gas compressed within the first portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Hugues Dupont, Adam Zygmunt Cygan, Stephen Dennis Parks, Christopher Del Campo, Alien Ugalde, Christopher Irvine, Thomas Murray
