20120079909 | Control Lever Saver - An apparatus used to quickly, and without additional tools or adhesives, allow anyone to, without additional training or knowledge, repair a broken mechanical control lever, examples including, but not limited to, a clutch or brake lever on a motorcycle or a brake release lever on machinery, while leaving the control lever in place within its holder/housing. The invention consists of a hollow cylindrical tube, open at one end and closed by a solid spherical ball at the other end, and raised ridges to improve the user's grip on the lever, designed to closely replicate the original shape and functionality of the broken control lever. The cylindrical tube is capable of holding the broken end of a control lever, and is of sufficient length, width, flexibility and tensile strength to form to the broken control lever and hold itself in place through friction and pressure. | 04-05-2012 |

20130029241 | ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM - An energy storage system is disclosed. The energy storage system comprises an energy storage device configured to operate above ambient temperature, and a thermal insulator at least partially surrounding the energy storage device, wherein heat losses from one or more other devices are received within the thermal insulator to provide heat energy to the energy storage device. Utilising heat losses from one or more other devices, such as associated electronic components, enables the energy storage device to be maintained at its elevated operational temperature for longer providing extended battery life. In the application of wireline logging, this results in more data log available per trip in a well. | 01-31-2013 |

20120011928 | FLUID FLOW SENSOR - A bi-directional fluid flow sensor is disclosed. The sensor comprises a turbine configured to rotate along an axis as a result of fluid flowing past the turbine substantially in the direction of the axis; a magnet mounted to the turbine and configured to rotate with the turbine; and a magnetic flux angle sensor provided adjacent to the turbine and configured to detect the relative flux angle of the magnet as it rotates. The bi-directional fluid flow sensor is sensitive and robust and may be used in a downhole well for example. | 01-19-2012 |
20120152027 | Sensitive Differential Pressure Sensor and Method - A differential pressure sensor has a magnetized piston free to move in a cylinder. Magnetic endcaps seal the ends of the cylinder, forming chambers on either side of the piston. The moveable magnetic piston is constrained by the opposing magnetic fields of the endcaps. The piston is covered with magnetic ferrofluid, providing a low friction gas-tight seal around the piston. The cylinder has two pressure input lines, one being connected to the chamber on either side of the piston. The relative pressures of the input lines cause the piston to move to a position of equilibrium within the cylinder, with the magnetic fields of the endcaps holding the piston in place against the pressure. A magnetic field angle sensor detects flux lines on the outside of the cylinder, and the reading is correlated with the pressure differential between the two input lines. | 06-21-2012 |
20120158308 | Canted Helix Collapsible Flowmeter and Method of Measuring A Fluid Flow - Flowmeters and methods of measuring a fluid flow or manufacturing flowmeters are presented. A flowmeter has a tool body and one or more spinner arms configured to extend with a first end away from the tool body and a second end joined to the tool body, when deployed to measure a fluid flow. Each spinner arm includes a helical blade configured to rotate due to a fluid flowing substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool body, around a rotation axis between the first end and the second end. | 06-21-2012 |

20130119995 | Rugged Three-Axis Inclinometer - A method and apparatus for a rugged three-axis inclinometer for determining an object's orientation with respect to a gravitational field. Components of the apparatus include but not limited to a magnet, a non-magnetic casing, a ferrofluid, one or more non-magnetic gravitational field aligning materials attached to the magnet and a plurality of angle sensors attached to the non-magnetic casing. In this regard, when the apparatus is rotated, the gravitational field aligning materials maintain a constant orientation of the magnet and the angle sensors experience different magnetic field strengths as they rotate around the magnet. The position of the apparatus, with respect to the gravitational field can then be calculated based on the angle sensor outputs. | 05-16-2013 |
