Title: High pressure circulating shoe track with redundant pressure isolation feature
Inventor: COLIN P ANDREW
IPC: E21B34/12
Filed: 2016-06-08
Abstract: A dual barrier system is provided to withstand pressure differentials well above those of the check valves in a float shoe used to allow circulation of a bottom hole assembly on the way to a desired depth. The bottom hole assembly can have screens and an internal wash pipe that pushes a sleeve to hold open a lower flapper for running in. The wash pipe also holds open an upper flapper that has opposed orientation to facilitate circulation when running in. Once on location an annulus packer closes off the producing zones where the screens are located from a lower zone that can have higher pressures. A high pressure packer is set against the shoe track and the wash pipe is retracted through this packer. Retracting the wash pipe allows closure of both flappers. Flow is blocked in opposed directions by the flappers and packer in the shoe track.

Title: Battery management for a fluid analysis system
Inventor: ZHIYONG ZHANG
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 2019-02-22
Abstract: A battery management system 300 is arranged to receive electric power from a plurality of batteries 102a, 102b and to supply power to a load 308 from one amongst the plurality of batteries 102a, 102b at a time. The system monitors energy output from each battery 102a, 102b to determine the energy state of the battery 102a, 102b and determine whether it has a valid state. A first one of the batteries 102a may be assigned a high priority status and is preferentially used to supply power to the load 308 as long as it has a valid state. If the first battery 102a falls into a battery empty state, then power supply is switched to a second battery 102b having a valid state until the first battery 102a has a valid state. When a new battery is inserted, its voltage must be above a particular threshold before it is assigned to a valid state, otherwise it is assigned an invalid state. The particular threshold may be above 50% of maximum battery voltage. The battery empty state may be at 10% of maximum battery voltage. The system is suitable for supplying a fluid analytics system under the ATEX regulations and allows hot swapping of supplies.

Patent GB-2585044-A (GB)
Title: Image data encoding and decoding
Inventor: STEPHEN MARK KEATING
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2019-06-25
Abstract: Data encoding, deriving, from an array of sample values, sample range flags each indicative of whether sample values of the array of sample values lie in a predetermined range of values (e.g. greater-than-one flags GT1). In a first encoding mode 2260, the array of sample values is, at least in part, encoded by encoding the sample range flags to an output data stream. A predictor 2210 predicts the state of a group of the sample range flags for a given array of sample values, the group being at least a subset of the sample range flags. Preferably the group is a tail of values representing high frequency components of an image block. For at least some predicted state (preferably when the prediction is that all flags in the group are zero) a comparator 2220 compares the prediction of a group of flags with the actual flags. In response to the comparator, the sample range flags may be encoded in a second mode 2235 using a predetermined number of indicator flags, fewer than the group of sample range flags, indicating the accuracy of the prediction. Preferably the data array represents residual data derived from predictions of image data.
