  • Patent number: 12359590
    Abstract: A turbomachine includes a turbine housing and a turbine wheel that cooperatively define a first flow path extending downstream from an inlet, across the turbine wheel, to a first outlet. The turbine housing defines a second flow path extending downstream from the inlet to a second outlet. The first flow path and the second flow path both extend through a separator chamber. The separator chamber is configured to separate a first fluid from a second fluid allowing the first fluid to flow along the first flow path toward the first outlet and allowing the second fluid to flow along the second flow path toward the second outlet.

  • Patent number: 12252969
    Abstract: A stator for a mud motor and methods for manufacturing and using the same, of which one such method includes obtaining a mud motor having a stator made at least partially from a rubber. At least a portion of the rubber is cured by at most about 90%. The method also includes deploying the mud motor into a well as part of a drill string. The rubber is not further cured prior to deploying the mud motor into the well. The method further includes generating torque using the mud motor by pumping a mud through the stator.

  • Patent number: 12055381
    Abstract: A strain gauge device employs a reflective base adapted to reflect a divergent optical signal, and a glass tube attached to the reflective base for optical communication therewith, the glass tube having a working length into which an optical fiber is inserted. The optical fiber is configured for transporting an optic signal indicative of the detected strain. The optic fiber has an outside diameter slightly smaller than an inside diameter of the glass tube for providing a slight tolerance. A distal end is disposed in slidable communication with an interior of the glass tube and accommodated by the tolerance, and a sensing circuit at the proximate end receives an optical signal indicative of strain or displacement. A resilient buffer layer made of soft silicone is disposed outside the glass tube to allow for large deformation measurements and reduce the distortion of the deformation by the introduction of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 11961626
    Abstract: A fiber optic based particle manipulation system employs one or more optical fibers for emanating a refracted optical manipulation signal directed at a target particle for fixing or manipulating the particle for examination, research and manufacturing. A target particle may be a living cell or inanimate sample or compound of matter. An alignment linkage controls optical fibers carrying the manipulation signal for focusing one or more manipulation signals on the target particle. Manipulated particles occupy a fluid medium of either liquid or gas, and are responsive to the manipulation signal based on both photon bombardment and temperature differential from photon contact. The temperature differential is based on surface properties of the target particle, as smooth particles tend to exhibit a greater thermal differential for stronger displacement forces driving or affecting the target particle.

  • Patent number: 11668873
    Abstract: A fiber optic sensing device includes an optical fiber having a polished end defining a flat sensory portion coated with a lossy-mode-resonance (LMR) coating. A reflective coating on an end face of the optical fiber facilitates propagation of a return signal. An optic circuit for identifies a wavelength attenuated by the LMR coating from the return signal reflected by the reflective coating based on a moisture presence at the sensory portion. Various gaseous parameters may be detected based on the coating on the sensory portion. An LMR coating of tin oxide (SnO2) is employed for moisture sensing.
