  • Patent number: 11928052
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated testing of mobile devices. A server establishes a connection with a client device via a high-latency connection. The server receives input from the client device comprising (i) a selection of mobile devices for testing and (ii) a selection of a test interaction. The server generates predicted interactions for each of the selected mobile devices using historical device interaction data. The server converts the predicted interactions into test scripts, each test script formatted for use with one of the selected mobile devices. The server deploys each test script for execution on the corresponding mobile device, and transmits results from the test script executions to the client device.

    Abstract: A near-bit multi-parameter downhole measurement and control system while drilling, including a ground device and a downhole assembly. The downhole assembly includes a drill bit, a multi-parameter acquisition and signal transmission sub, a positive displacement motor or drilling tool, a receiving and transmitting module, a wireless communication sub, and a non-magnetic drill collar which are connected in sequence. The multi-parameter acquisition and signal transmission sub is provided with the near-bit measuring instrument. The receiving and transmitting module is configured to receive signals from the near-bit measuring instrument and transmit the signals to the wireless communication sub. The wireless communication sub is configured to transmit the received signals to the ground device through a mud pulse generator in a form of pulse signal, and the ground device decodes and analyzes downhole data. The system can monitor and adjust the real-time changes of downhole engineering parameters timely.

  • Patent number: 10927607
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a drilling speed increasing device driven by a downhole motor for generating shock vibration. The device uses the rotational energy of a screw motor as power to drive a lower vibration starter to rotate. Vibration starting steel balls have the function of reducing friction in the interior. During axial reciprocating motion of the upper vibration starter, a spring matched with the upper vibration starter is periodically compressed to generate spring energy. The spring energy reacts on the lower vibration starter and a main shaft connected with a drill bit, so as to periodically provide drilling pressure for the drill bit. Periodic motion of the upper vibration starter and the spring produces periodic axial vibration on the tool.
