Title: Gearsets
Inventor: BARRY JAMES
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2018-01-31
Abstract: A method for designing a gearset meeting one or more design targets, e.g. efficiency. Initially, a size and ratio of the gear set is specified. Gear friction coefficients are then calculated, and a value for a design target for the gear set is calculated. One or more of the macro-geometry parameters are modified, and the macro-geometry parameters are chosen such that the advantageous effects of one macro-geometry parameter on the design target counteract any disadvantageous effects of another macro-geometry parameter. In this way, a design for a gearset meeting the one or more design targets is produced. The efficiency calculation can includes the effect of a lubricant and further design targets can include gear noise and gear durability.

Title: Improvements in or relating to downhole pulling tools
Inventor: PAUL HILLIARD
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2018-11-21
Abstract: A downhole pulling tool with an arrangement of stacked pistons has a signalling mechanism 10 as a pressure dump valve to indicate when the pistons have successfully completed a full stroke. When the downhole pulling tool is stroked, sleeve members 52, 56, 62 in the signalling mechanism 10 travels between an inner mandrel and outer housing 14 of the pulling tool resulting in alignment of a first release port 40 in the inner mandrel with a second release port 44 in the outer housing to create a fluid passageway pressure dump. A first sleeve 52 and second sleeve 56 move with the inner mandrel as the piston pushes relative to the outer housing 14. A third sleeve 62 is biased against the first sleeve 52. Toward the end of the piston’s stroke the third sleeve 62 is stopped by a shoulder 72 of the housing 14; first 52 and second 56 sleeves continue to stroke opening a space 74 and aligning pressure ports 40, 44. The pressure dump opens to the annulus outside the tool providing a pressure change identifiable as a signal detected at surface to indicate the downhole pulling tool has completed a full stroke cycle.
