  • Patent number: 10845258
    Abstract: A method of reading and quantifying pressure points or bumps or a product outline to extract a pattern that, when decoded, uniquely defines a product or class of products by defining the theoretical centers of applied pressure, determining the spatial relationship between more than one center or a product outline to define which pattern belongs to which product, and correlating each pattern with templates of stored patterns to determine what product is represented by each respective pattern.

  • Patent number: 10809889
    Abstract: Indicators such as visible icons or other objects are presented on a display, with each indicator being associated with a respective profile that defines interactive events for which notifications are desired. Broadcast video is presented along with the indicators, and when an interactive event signal is received, if a profile indicates that a notification for that type of event is desired, the associated indicator is altered in appearance, e.g., by changing color, or motion, or other technique. If a profile does not indicate that the type of event should be notified, the corresponding indicator is not altered in appearance, e.g., can remain grayed out yet still visible.

  • Publication number: 20200318462
    Abstract: Downhole electrical energy harvesting and communication in systems for well installations having metallic structure carrying electric current, for example CP current. In some instances there is a harvesting module (4) electrically connected to the metallic structure (2) at a first location and to a second location spaced from the first location, the first and second locations being chosen such that, in use, there is a potential difference therebetween due to the electric current flowing in the structure (2); and the harvesting module (4) being arranged to harvest electrical energy from the electric current. In addition or alternatively, there may be communication apparatus (4, 5, 6) for communication by modulation of the current, for example CP current, in the metallic structure (2).

  • Patent number: 10716088
    Abstract: Determining a location for a non-access point device based on non-access point device emulation of an access point (AP) device is disclosed. A non-AP device can pass itself off as an actual AP device to piggyback of location reporting by user equipment (UE). Where a UE observes an emulated AP, e.g., a non-AP device masquerading as an AP device, the observance of the emulated AP can be reported, along with UE location information captured at the time of the observance, to a network database. The UE location information can be used to determine a location of the emulated AP. The location of the emulated AP can be retrieved from the database in response to a query identifying the emulated AP. This can enable the non-AP device to query its own location as observed by the UE. This can enable other devices to receive the location of the non-AP device.

  • Patent number: 10704378
    Abstract: Downhole water level detecting apparatus for detecting the level of water in a formation in the region of a well installation. The detecting apparatus includes a transmitter for applying electrical signals to a signaling loop at a first location. The signaling loop includes a downhole metallic structure of the well installation and an earth return. The detecting apparatus also includes a detector for monitoring electrical signals in the signaling loop, and an evaluation unit arranged for determining a level of water in the formation relative to the downhole metallic structure in dependence on the monitored signals.

  • Patent number: 10619476
    Abstract: A well installation communication system includes downhole metallic structure 2, a downhole communication unit 3, and a surface communication unit 4 arranged for electrical signal communication with the downhole communication unit via a signal channel. The signal channel includes a portion of the downhole metallic structure 2, a portion of cable 5 running within the downhole metallic structure away from said portion of the downhole metallic structure towards the surface and a connection device 6. The connection device 6 is in the signal channel between the portion of metallic structure 2 and the portion of cable 5. The connection device is removeably deployed in the metallic structure, is electrically disconnectably and reconnectably connected to the metallic structure and has a connector portion to which an end of the cable is mechanically and electrically connected.

  • Publication number: 20200102820
    Abstract: A monitoring well installation comprising metallic casing (2) running down from the surface into a borehole and a sealing material plug (6) provided downhole for blocking the interior of the casing and sealing the borehole against the egress of fluid from a zone below the plug. There is an axial spacing (2A) between adjacent casing portions (2) in the region of the plug (6) such that there is an uncased length of borehole in which the material of the plug seals against the formation. There is provided a sensing tool (3) located below the plug (6) for sensing at least one parameter below the plug (6) and a communication arrangement (3, 4, 5) for use in transmitting data from the sensing tool (3) towards the surface. The communication arrangement comprises across plug communication apparatus (5) for facilitating transmission of signals carrying data across the plug (6) towards the surface.
