Title: Mechanism for retaining and releasing pump down plug
Inventor: MARCELLE H HEDRICK
IPC: E21B33/16
Filed: 2020-12-10
Abstract: An apparatus for retaining and releasing a pump down plug 9 includes a shifting sleeve 20, which is configured to slide within an outer housing 21. The shifting sleeve 20 is secured in a locked position with respect to the outer housing 21 by a retainer latch 22. Retaining elements 24 engage a nose 25 of the pump down plug 9 to prevent the pump down plug 9 from moving. The retaining elements 24 protrude through holes, windows, or slots in the shifting sleeve 20 and are prevented from moving radially due to contact with an interior portion of the outer housing 21. When the shifting sleeve 20 is locked in the first position, fluid can flow around the shifting sleeve 20 in a bypass annulus 26. Sliding the shifting sleeve into a second position results in outward movement of the retaining element 24 into the recess 27 to release the pump down plug.

Title: Content protection for a glasses device
Inventor: Alexandre Neves Creto
IPC: G06F21/84
Filed: 2022-09-28
Abstract: A glasses device, e.g. augmented reality (AR) glasses, has one or more displays for displaying information to the user and one or more cameras 116 to capture visual data from the front of the glasses. One or more modules determine that sensitive content is to be shown on the displays, and that the visual data from the cameras shows that a human gaze 408 is directed towards the front surface of the glasses. A protection process 214, such as alerting the user or obscuring the information, is then implemented to mitigate exposure of the sensitive content. This prevents an onlooker from viewing private information displayed on the lenses of the glasses. A risk zone 212 may be defined within the field of view of the cameras, and action is only taken to protect the displayed information when the detected gaze vector is within the risk zone.
