Title: Inductively interrogated passive sensor apparatus
Inventor: JASKOLSKI COREY
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 2010-04-06
Abstract: A sensor apparatus comprises a first magnetic transducer which in use is positioned on a first side of a barrier and a second magnetic transducer which in use is positioned on a second side of the barrier opposite the first side. The second transducer comprises a magnetic or electrical property which is dependent upon a sensible condition on the second side of the barrier, such as the pressure or temperature on the second side of the barrier. In operation, the first transducer generates a first magnetic field which induces the second transducer to generate a second magnetic field that is dependent upon the magnetic or electrical property of the second transducer. The first transducer detects the second magnetic field and generates a signal which is representative of the sensible condition on the second side of the barrier.

Title: Jarring method and apparatus using fluid pressure to reset jar
Inventor: SCHULTZ ROGER L
IPC: E21B4/14
Filed: 2012-03-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering repetitive jarring impacts to a stuck object downhole. The jarring tool is deployed on coiled tubing or other tubular well conduit, and fluid pressure is used to cycle the jar without reciprocating the well conduit at the wellhead. The tool includes a hydraulic reset assembly. The hydraulic chamber is in fluid communication with the flow path through the tool. Thus, when the internal fluid pressure inside the tool exceeds the external pressure in the well, the fluid pressure drives the piston in the hydraulic chamber to urge the tool toward the contracted position. In this way, the reset assembly can overcome the tendency of fluid pressure to extend the tool. The reset assembly can be configured to balance or equalize the extension pressure, to prevent undesired cocking of the tool, or to overcome the extension pressure to contract the tool for recocking the jar mechanism.

Title: Method for disintegrating an elastomer and disintegrator
Inventor: REIF LOTHAR
IPC: B29B9/06
Filed: 2012-05-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for disintegrating an elastomer (20), wherein the elastomer (20) is moved across a floor (22) relative to a cutting tool (12) and toward the cutting tool (12), wherein the cutting tool (12) has a cutting wedge (14), which has a cutting edge (30) and a rake face (32) adjacent to the cutting edge (30). After the cutting wedge (14) comes in contact with the elastomer (20), the elastomer (20) is first at least partially compressed only by the rake face (32) between the rake face (32) and the floor (22) before the cutting edge (30) cuts through the elastomer (20). Because of the initially planar compression of the elastomer (20) by means of the rake face (32), an elastic evasive movement of the elastomer (20) is avoided, such that it is possible to cut off significantly thinner pieces from the elastomer (20), and thus the specific surface area of the pieces severed from the elastomer (20) can be increased.
