  • Patent number: 11008829
    Abstract: A toe sleeve that is configured to allow communication between an inner diameter of the tool and an annulus outside of the tool during a bleed off cycle, which occurs after testing the casing. To test the casing, pressure within the inner diameter of the tool may be increased, and during a bleed off cycle the pressure within the inner diameter of the tool may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20210032953
    Abstract: A Frac plug with multiple pump down rings, wherein the outer diameter of the pump down rings is smaller than that of the inner diameter of the casing, which may not allow a seal to be formed across the casing. Systems may also include a rupture disc within the Frac plug that is positioned adjacent to an atmospheric chamber, which allows the rupture disc to be removed based on a known pressure.

  • Publication number: 20190323317
    Abstract: An inflatable packer assembly configured to be conveyed within a wellbore. The inflatable packer assembly includes a mandrel having a flowline, a first packer ring slidably connected with the mandrel, a second packer ring fixedly connected with the mandrel, a latching mechanism fluidly connected with the flowline, and an inflatable packer fluidly connected with the flowline. The inflatable packer may be disposed around the mandrel and sealingly connected with the first and second packer rings. The inflatable packer may be operable to expand against a sidewall of the wellbore upon receiving a fluid from the flowline. The latching mechanism may be operable to limit movement of the first packer ring with respect to the mandrel, and permit the movement of the first packer ring with respect to the mandrel upon being actuated by the fluid from the flowline.

  • Publication number: 20190139452
    Abstract: A simulation manikin (1) for central venous cannulation comprises a first tube (3) for simulating a vein, a simulated clavicle (4), a first member (2) to which the tube (3) and simulated clavicle (4) are removeably affixed to in a position which is anatomically correct with respect to each other and a second member (11) having a surface which simulates the contours of half a neck to the clavicle. The manikin (1) is useful for teaching students identification of key anatomic landmarks, navigation of needle under ultrasound, recognition of correct blood vessels, and avoiding and managing potential complications.

  • Patent number: 8504679
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for managing information technology (IT) processes for a computer network. An incident report, including associated data, is received from an application monitoring resources on the computer network. Additional data associated with the computer network resources to be obtained based on the incident report is automatically identified and obtained. Related data in a historical database is automatically identified based on the incident report and/or the additional data and the identified related historical data is automatically retrieved. The incident report, the additional data and/or the related historical data are analyzed to identify a responsive process to respond to the incident report.
