Patent CA-2749854-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEVLIEG GARRETT H
IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 2010-01-28
Abstract: A taxi brake inhibit system overcomes problems of discontinuities in pedal "feel" that can occur by use of a taxi brake inhibit system, by adding a new pedal "feel" logic in which twice the brake force is commanded for a given brake pedal application when taxi brake inhibit is active.    The taxi brake inhibit system relies upon two different brake force vs.  brake pedal application curves to compensate for the difference in deceleration that is achieved for a given brake pedal application depending upon whether the taxi brake inhibit is active or inactive. Such system effectively eliminates undesirable deceleration bumps, yaw effects and changes in pedal feel during braking. The taxi brake inhibit feature is also shut off to both fore-aft brake pairs if any non-normal taxi brake inhibit condition exists on either fore-aft brake pair.

Inventor: KENYON MICHAEL
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 2011-09-28
Abstract: A ball catching device has been invented that catches an actuator ball used in a wellbore to actuate a downhole tool.
