  • Downhole communication devices and systems
    Patent number: 11978944
    Abstract: A downhole communication includes an antenna winding fixed to an inner surface of a collar. A fluid flow flows through a center of the antenna winding. The antenna winding is wound around a chassis in an antenna channel in the chassis. The chassis is attached to the inner surface of the collar with a seal such that fluid does not travel between the fluid flow and an annulus between the antenna winding and the inner surface of the collar.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems for securing a downhole tool to a housing
    Patent number: 11933114
    Abstract: A system for securing a downhole tool to a housing includes a plurality of linear wave springs placed around a chassis. The linear wave strings have an unstressed height that is less than or equal to an annular gap. This reduces the insertion force required to insert the chassis into the housing. The linear wave springs are compressed to increase the amount of radial force applied to the chassis and the housing.

    Publication number: 20220059921
    Abstract: A downhole communication includes an antenna winding fixed to an inner surface of a collar. A fluid flow flows through a center of the antenna winding. The antenna winding is wound around a chassis in an antenna channel in the chassis. The chassis is attached to the inner surface of the collar with a seal such that fluid does not travel between the fluid flow and an annulus between the antenna winding and the inner surface of the collar. A difference in diameter between an upper seal and a lower seal results in a net force to push the chassis against a shoulder on the collar.
