20120246931 | METHODS OF MANUFACTURING WIND TURBINE BLADES - An elongate web is attached to the root end of a spar of a wind turbine rotor blade to provide additional support along the width of the blade. The root end is formed by a winding operation, and a recess is then cut into the surface of the spar. The recess is defined by a relatively large first, cylindrical surface, which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the root end, and a relatively small second, conical surface. A tapered end of the elongate web is attached within the recess of the root end using a layer of suitable adhesive and an array of pins. Resilient spacer elements are arranged within the recess so as to surround the pins. The large area of the cylindrical surface causes the tensile and compressive stresses which arise along the elongate web in use to be transmitted to the spar as shear stresses. | 10-04-2012 |

20120132439 | MULTIFUNCTION DOWNHOLE RELEASE TOOL MECHANISM WITH LOST MOTION - Presented is a system and method for disconnecting a plurality of wireline tools from a string of wireline tools while maintaining operation of the wireline tools remaining with the string of wireline tools. The disconnection is non-destructive and allows a reconnection of the disconnected tools after retrieval from the well. The system also enables testing of the disconnection mechanism before deploying the wireline tool string into the well. | 05-31-2012 |
20150136385 | SIMPLIFIED MEASUREMENT OF BOREHOLE FLUID RESISTIVITY - A well logging system that includes a tool which is deployed within the well. The tool has a housing in which imaging hardware is stored, and on which sensors are located, where the sensors detect and measure electrical signals that have been induced in the formation surrounding the well. A wiper system is also mounted on the housing for clearing mud and other debris from outer surfaces of the sensors. | 05-21-2015 |
20150146501 | Acoustic Isolater for a Downhole Tool - A downhole tool for acoustically imaging a subterranean formation having a transmitter and receiver and which includes an acoustic isolator between the transmitter and receiver. The acoustic isolator includes attenuation elements with rounded ends and that are connected in series by compression fittings. The compression fittings include sleeves that threadingly engage lock nuts and compressively engage the rounded ends. The contact interfaces between the compression fittings extend along a curved path thereby limiting acoustic transmission along the series of attenuation elements. | 05-28-2015 |
