Title: Thermal release mechanism for downhole tools
Inventor: O'CONNOR KEVIN
IPC: E21B19/18
Filed: 2013-05-28
Abstract: A release mechanism for use in setting a downhole tool comprises two connectors releasably connected to one other. One of the connectors includes a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different from a material included in the second connector. The difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion causes one of the connectors to expand greater than the other connector when heat is applied to one or both of the connectors. As a result of the greater expansion of one of the connectors, the connectors release from each other. Upon release, an actuator within the downhole tool is permitted to move and cause actuation or setting of the downhole tool.

Title: Temperature measuring method
Inventor: Farzad Barari
IPC: H01M8/04701
Filed: 2015-09-04
Abstract: A fuel cell system comprising a temperature sensor having a physical presence within a conduit for measuring the temperature of a fluid inside the conduit Tg, and a wall temperature sensor for measuring the wall temperature of the conduit Tw. A controller iteratively applies a thermal model to calculate a predicted temperature value TM that is expected to be measured based on the measured temperatures Tg , Tw. When the predicted temperature Tm does not fulfil an interrupt criterion, an input temperature Tgin to be used in a next iterative step is altered based on a difference between the measured temperatures. Preferably, in the first iteration step the input temperature is the conduits internal temperature (Tgin= Tg). The controller may reduce/ increase the input temperature value for use in the next iterative step if the conduits internal temperature is larger/ smaller, respectively, than the wall temperature. The interrupt criterion may be fulfilled when the predicted temperature falls within a predetermined range of the conduits internal temperature. An input temperature in a final iterative step is output as a corrected temperature of the gas which can be used to alter an operating parameter of the fuel cell.
