Title: Pre-loaded bearings for sensor shell
Inventor: JULIEN STEIMETZ
IPC: E21B47/024
Filed: 2020-04-06
Abstract: A sensor support apparatus 312 for a downhole tool includes a shell 314 that encompasses a MEMS-type gyroscope, e.g. an electromagnetic field vibrated ring. A primary shaft 316 is rigidly connected to a connection arm 318 which may extend from a primary shaft first end. A secondary shaft 320 is rigidly connected to the connection arm of the primary shaft. One or more bearings 324-1, 324-2 support rotation of the shell 214 around the secondary shaft. A means 338 provided for pre-loading the one or more bearings to reduce gyroscope error due to movement of the shell relative to the shafts. There is an indexing groove on the outside of the shell engaged by a spring 331 biased pin 330. Shell movement causes the gyroscope to apply force to a mounting block which is measured to determine forces acting on the gyroscope and thus geographic north may be determined. The shell may be magnetically permeable to minimise magnetic interference. The bearing biasing means may be a spring, a hydraulic or pneumatic piston or Belleville washer.

IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2020-06-16
Abstract: An apparatus for predicting whether an object moving across a surface will reach a target destination is provided, the apparatus comprises circuitry configured to: receive a first image and one or more subsequent second images from a camera, identify a location of an object on a surface in the first image, identify a location of the object on the surface in one or more of the second images and determine one or more motion characteristics of the object based on the location of the object in the first image and the location of the object in the one or more second images. From these motion characteristics is generated a predicted path of the object across the surface based on a model of the surface and the motion characteristics of the object and a prediction is generated as to whether the object will reach the target destination based on the predicted path of the object and the location of the target destination. The object may be a golf ball, the surface may be a green and the target may be a hole. The predicted path may be used to augment a display of a sporting event such as golf competition.
