Title: Fiber splice protection sleeve
Inventor: CLARK BRETT G
IPC: G06Q99/00
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A fiber-splice protection label or sleeve (400) for one or more optical fiber fusion splices (401, 402). The label (406) is provided with a unique indicium (407) such as a serial number in alphanumeric and/or barcoded forms. The indicium (407) may be in the form of a strip of paper, plastic, foil, or other suitable material inserted between the inner sleeve (402) and outer sleeve (404) or otherwise embedded in the unit. The serial number may also be printed directly on the inner sleeve (403), outer sleeve (404), or support rod (405), and/or in the form of a sleeve. A hologram and/or other security feature may be used to prevent tampering or creation of counterfeit units. The number of digits are preferably chosen to allow a large number of units to be sold without duplication of numbers. Special standardized prefixes or other indicia may be chosen for government or other special applications. Serial numbers may further be encoded into a micro-miniature memory "chip" embedded in, e.g., the outer sleeve (404). Advantages of uniquely labeling splices includes allowing splice data associated with various splices to be easily stored and indexed for later selective retrieval, accountability for defective or problematic splices, and more efficient troubleshooting.

Title: Surface-actuated release tool for submersible pump assemblies and releasing method
Inventor: MACK JOHN J
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: A submersible pump assembly (11) has a release adapter (17) on a string of coiled tubing (19). Power cables (31) and a hydraulic capillary tube (33) extend through the coiled tubing to the release adapter where each terminates at a coupling. The release adapter has a locking mechanism (41) that is located in a chamber (39) adjacent to a fishing neck at the upper end of the pump. The locking mechanism has a collet that is latched to the fishing neck.  A piston captures the collet against the neck, and is restrained from movement by shear pins. The locking mechanism is actuated from the surface by pumping hydraulic fluid down through the capillary tube to the chamber to stroke the piston downward and shear the pins. As the coiled tubing lifts the release adapter away from the fishing neck, tension develops in the wires and tubing until those components detach from their respective couplings.
