  • Patent number: 9464875
    Abstract: A double safety firing system comprises: a firing line, wherein an end of the firing line is directly or operatively connected to an electrically-activated initiator; a first safety sub-assembly, wherein the first safety sub-assembly is connected to the firing line and comprises: a first shunting line; and a first shunt disabler, wherein the first shunt disabler disables the first shunting line when a predetermined amount of force is applied to the first shunt disabler; and a second safety sub-assembly, wherein the second safety sub-assembly is connected to the firing line and comprises: a second shunting line; and a second shunt disabler, wherein the second shunt disabler disables the second shunting line when a predetermined amount of electric current is applied to the second shunt disabler, wherein after the first and second shunting lines are disabled, electric current flows through the firing line and activates the initiator.

  • Patent number: 7312720
    Abstract: A transmission system between a voltage source and a wireline tool comprising a first loop to transmit a signal between the voltage source and the wireline tool. The first loop has a first transformer coupled to the voltage source. The system also comprises a second loop, electrically independent of the first loop, to transmit the signal between the voltage source and the wireline tool. The second loop has a second transformer coupled to the voltage source. If the first loop fails, the first transformer is isolated from the voltage source.
