Publication number: 20230021731Abstract: A downhole tool for cleaning a wellbore includes a tool body having a passage therein. A liquid is to flow through the passage of the tool body and have an intermittent flow pattern. An inner sleeve positioned within the tool body includes a recess having a recess pattern. In response to the intermittent flow pattern of the flow of fluid, a shift pin positioned in the recess of the inner sleeve is to traverse through the recess pattern. The downhole tool includes at least one scraper blade. The scraper blade is movable between a retracted position and a radially expanded position. In response to the shift pin traversing the recess pattern of the recess, the scraper blade can be expanded radially outward toward a wall of the wellbore from the retracted position to the expanded position and/or retracted inward away from the wall of the wellbore from the expanded position to the retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2021Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Jon-Howard Elliott Hanson, Kyle Wayne Davis, Peter Reid Maher, Timothy Simmonds, Alan Pace, Gavin Munro

Publication number: 20220374421Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for processing search queries using item-based search refinement are provided. In response to a search query, search result items are displayed on a search interface. The search result items each have an associated item-specific control having embedded selectable hierarchical category classifications. Upon selecting an item-specific control, the item-specific control is displayed. A selection of an embedded hierarchical category classification is received to cause execution of an embedded-item search operation. An embedded-item search operation is executed to identify a subset of the items using the selected hierarchical category classification. The associated item-specific control further has embedded selectable attributes. A selection of an embedded attribute is further received to cause execution of the embedded-item search operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Jonathan David Chard, Erin Miller, Tyler Yong Nugent, Yihung Lee, Benjamin Blechman, Brian Wayne Davis

Publication number: 20220267007Abstract: A substructure in an aircraft cabin includes a drawer-insert accepting portion that defines multiple racks. Each rack may receive an exchangeable drawer insert. A module-accepting portion of the substructure defines an opening that includes a supporting surface, a back wall which extends upward and outward, and a lateral side wall. A module is provided for optionally installing in the module-accepting portion. The module has concealed areas upon installing that include: (i) a base adapted to rest on the supporting surface, (ii) a side wall adapted to abut the lateral side wall, and (iii) a rear wall adapted to abut the back wall. The module has exposed surfaces upon installing that are adapted to match an existing profile of the drawer-insert accepting portion.

Patent number: 11014690Abstract: A system and method for simulating a structure is disclosed. An adjustable interior mockup for simulating a structure has a base with a first elongated side and a second elongated side, the first elongated side being nonadjacent the second elongated side; and an adjustable frame secured to the base.

Patent number: 10939272Abstract: A system and method for managing jobsite personnel is presented. An application registers Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices on a geographically-defined jobsite, associates them with individual workers, and associates the workers' devices with the particular jobsite. The application logs registered devices when the devices come within the physical boundaries of the associated jobsite. An administrator may receive reports on all registered mobile devices. In an emergency requiring jobsite evacuation, a server communicates to each logged mobile device a message requiring time-sensitive compliance. Compliance is tracked and recorded. The server can provide to the administrator one or more compliance reports.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Inventor: Michael Wayne Davis

Patent number: 10683734Abstract: Dissolvable casing liners are utilized to isolate existing perforations. A dissolvable casing liner is deployed downhole along the interior of a casing string having a plurality of perforations. The casing liner is then secured against the casing string, thereby effectively sealing the perforations. Once the perforations are isolated, refracturing operations may be conducted. At some time thereafter, the casing liner is dissolved and removed from the wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Matt James Merron, Kyle Wayne Davis

Patent number: 10259368Abstract: An articulating armrest includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion that protrude from a member a predetermined spacing apart. Each protrusion aligns within a separate track within a housing configured for stowing the armrest within a seat back. The two tracks include straight and curved portions configured to articulate the armrest. Specifically, the armrest moves along a curvilinear path between stowed and deployed positions by translating along the tracks and pivoting about the second protrusion. The armrest may stow in a seat back and beneath the seat bottom to provide a full length armrest when deployed, and the armrest may stow flush with the seat back for sitting against. Mechanical tension may be provided to automatically deploy the armrest, and a rotational damper and a gas spring may be used to control the speed at which the armrest deploys.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: Barry John Ward, David Michael Kuhn, David Wayne Davis
