  • Patent number: 11957206
    Abstract: Described are soles for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, with a midsole. The midsole includes a first sole region, which includes particle foam. The midsole further includes a deformation region within the midsole, wherein the deformation region has a volume greater than that of a single expanded particle and is positioned so that it allows a sideward deformation of the material of the first sole region under a pressure load on the sole.

  • Publication number: 20240027644
    Abstract: A method and system for azimuthal direction detection of a cable. The method may comprise disposing an electromagnetic logging tool into a wellbore, transmitting a primary electromagnetic field from the one or more transmitters, recording one or more secondary electromagnetic fields at the one or more receivers, and identifying a direction to the cable from the one or more secondary electromagnetic fields. The system may comprise one or more transmitters disposed on the electromagnetic logging tool and configured to transmit a primary electromagnetic field. The system may further comprise one or more receivers disposed on the electromagnetic logging tool and configured to record one or more secondary electromagnetic fields. Additionally, the system may further comprise an information handling system configured to identify a direction to an azimuthally localized reduction in metal of the conductor or increase in the metal of the conductor from the secondary electromagnetic fields.

  • Patent number: 11655692
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure generally relate to orienting perforation systems for subterranean operations. An alignment system comprises a first component coupled to a charge tube, the first component operable to rotate in concert with the charge tube, wherein an axis of rotation of the first component extends in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the first component; a second component nested within the first component or disposed within a gun body, wherein the charge tube is movably disposed within the gun body; and an electrical contact extending through the first and second components, wherein the first component is further operable to move in axial directions within the gun body and along the electrical contact to interlock with the second component or separate from the second component.

  • Patent number: 10876381
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a perforating gun assembly. The perforating gun assembly includes a housing and at least one perforating charge disposed within the housing. Additionally, the perforating gun assembly includes a detonating cord disposed within the housing and ballistically coupled to the at least one perforating charge. Further, the perforating gun assembly includes a first coupling location and a second coupling location that are each configured to couple to an additional perforating gun assembly. A detonator assembly disposed within the first coupling location is also included in the perforating gun assembly. A detonator of the detonator assembly is positioned to fire in a direction away from the detonating cord disposed within the housing.
