Title: Remote manipulation and control for subterranean tools
Inventor: RAMON MICHAEL
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2012-06-19
Abstract: A subterranean tool that is self contained for actuation can be run into a desired location on an automatic set mode controlled by a timer. If a problem develops in getting the tool to the desired location in time a magnetic field created by permanent or electro -magnets can be brought to bear on the tool to stop the timer before the tool actuates. Once the tool is subsequently positioned at the desired location another magnetic field can be brought to bear near the tool to set it. Alternatively, the tool can be run to the desired location without activation with the timer and then the magnetic field can be brought to the tool to set it. The magnetic field can be lowered to the tool with wireline or can be dropped or pumped past the tool to actuate the tool. Optionally the field can be generated from within an object that ultimately lands on a seat to provide a backup way to set the tool using tubing pressure.

Title: Active equivalent circulating density control with real-time data connection
Inventor: GRIMMER HARALD
IPC: E21B21/08
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: An apparatus uses well devices, both downhole and at the surface, to control at least one condition in a wellbore. The downhole equipment includes flow restriction devices that modulate fluid flow along a wellbore annulus, flow bypass devices that selectively bypass fluid flow from wellbore tubular bore to the wellbore annulus, and downhole sensors that generate information relating to a selected parameter of interest. The surface equipment includes a pump that circulates a drilling fluid in the wellbore. Controllers, which may be downhole and/or at the surface, use sensor information to generate advice parameters or signals that may be used to control the flow restriction devices, the flow bypass devices, and / or the fluid circulation pump.

Title: Self-Closing eyeguard
Inventor: OSBORNE DOUGLAS
IPC: G02B25/00
Filed: 2014-01-16
Abstract: An eyeshield 10 may be attaching to an optical device and in use be positioned against the periocular region of a users face. The eyecup 10 has a first annular component 16 supporting a diaphragm 14, a second annular component 12 having an actuating member (36, fig 8), and with the first and second components 12, 16 being contiguous. Movement of the second component 12 relative to the first component 16 causes the actuating member (36, fig 8) to interact with the diaphragm 14, moving it from a closed to open state. The diaphragm 14 may be positioned to allow a user to see through the eyeguard 10. This movement into an open position may be actuated simply by the pressure exerted by the users face on the eyeguard 10. Upon removal of the users eye from the eyeguard 10, the eyecup 10 may return to a closed state. Another invention relates to an eyeshield having the diaphragm being of a resilient material, operable to urge the eye-ring into the closed position.
