Disclosed is a power-limited network protection system designed to enhance the reliability and stability of networks with multiple remote nodes. This system employs a combination of power supplies and communication transceivers to modulate energy and data transmission, ensuring efficient operation across extensive distances. Each remote node is equipped with an advanced protection device featuring a controllable disconnect switch and monitoring capabilities for current and voltage. This configuration enables independent operation of nodes while preventing cascading failures. By dynamically managing power distribution and implementing fail-safe mechanisms, the system mitigates risks associated with overloads and shorts, ultimately enhancing network resilience. This invention is particularly beneficial in environments prone to electrical disruptions, ensuring continued functionality and minimizing operational downtime.

Multiport pumps and associated pumping systems are described that provide a selective hydraulic or electrically powered pump/pump system. The pumps provide movement within a device or larger system. Movement can cause compression/expansion of a fluid and provide fluid movement within the same device or system. In this instance, the volume of fluid and the fluid flow path within, from, and to the pump(s) is kept constant to reduce or eliminate cavitation, seizure, and/or hydraulic lock. Use of at least one reservoir comprising; a compensator tank, a port allowing for operation at ambient pressure, and a pressure measuring device measuring pressure allowing for unbalanced flow to and from the multiport pumps along with thermal expansion or compression is detailed. In addition, use of a multiport swashplate pumps and associated valve plates that incorporate the features and functions of several valves not heretofore provided within the pump itself is also described.

Multiport pumps with multi-functional flow paths

An actuator sub for generating hydraulic pressure having a sub housing which includes (i) an outer surface, (ii) a main flow passage extending though the sub housing, and (iii) a wall space formed between the main flow passage and the housing outer surface. At least a first hydraulic tube is position in the wall space and an equalization port is configured to transmit pressure in the main flow passage to the first hydraulic tube. A drive motor driving an bi-directional hydraulic motor, are positioned in the first hydraulic tube, with the hydraulic motor being configured to output fluid to a fluid outlet of the first hydraulic tube, and the hydraulic motor, when not under power, allowing the reverse flow of fluid through the hydraulic motor. The actuator sub includes the absence of a check valve along a path carrying fluid between the hydraulic motor and the outlet of the second hydraulic tube.

Systems, methods and devices are described providing a selective hydraulic or electrically powered prime mover that is a bi-directional power unit system, including movement within a device used to compress and/or expand a fluid and provide fluid movement. The use of a hydraulic power unit is involved and comprises at least a pump or other fluid moving device, a first set of selective control valves delivering pressurized fluid to the device(s), and a second set of selective control valves returning unpressurized fluid from the device(s), a reservoir comprising a compensator tank, a port for operation at ambient pressure, and a pressure measuring device measuring ambient pressure allowing for unbalanced flow to and from the device as well as thermal expansion or compression. The use of a multiport and in some cases a swashplate pump that incorporates the features and functions of several valves for the system is also described.

A method, system, and associated apparatus are described for installing, inventorying, actuating, and/or accessing down-hole equipment in a wellbore. This comprises tagging a casing by inserting permanent components of material compositions within sections along the length of a casing. Inserted components and/or portions of an original section function as unique readable active and/or passive markers. The piping system is at least one pipe having a plurality of markers placed in radial sections strategically arranged with independently identical or different material compositions or embedded in a length of the wellbore casing. The sections function as markers forming a readable pattern readable by the reader(s). The reader is one of or a combination of any of the group consisting of a plug, a probe, a sensor, and/or a computer for reading markers. The reader travels in either a forward or backward direction.

Apparatus, method, and system for identifying, locating, and accessing addresses of a piping system

A control system with probes for generating and utilizing at least one or more addressed datagrams that communicate information to and from devices along piping assemblies comprising; one or more transmitters, one or more receivers, and one or more controllers, wherein the transmitters transmit information via one or more addressed datagrams encoded within a working medium to one or more receivers among the piping assemblies, is described. Transmitters convert datagrams into signals that are transmitted within the working medium and the receivers receive signals from the transmitters and also convert signals from the working medium which is converted back into datagrams. The controllers receive and decode the datagrams so that the controllers selectively communicate and perform logical operations on piping assembly devices according to directions received from the addressed datagrams. The entire control system can function as a network of controllers, receivers, transmitters, and/or transponders as required by one or more users.

A high pressure and temperature, hermetically sealed bulkhead connector with pin and socket contacts for use in logging tools is described. The bulkhead connector comprises (a) one or more contact(s) placed within one or more channels wherein the channels provide a clearance path between contact(s) and bulkhead body and travel at least a partial longitudinal distance between proximal and distal ends. The contact(s) reside in the channel(s) and include at least; an optional movement limiter section, one central elongated section, and one fixed section where the contact(s) is attached to the bulkhead body at the distal end. The body correctly positions respective ends of the contact so that the body secures contact(s) to be parallel to each other and the contact(s) have terminal ends for connection. This arrangement provides at least one pivotable, pliable, free floating contact extending away from the fixed distal end of the bulkhead body.

A non-conductive multi-layered ringed sealing gasket for mating pipe joints along a piping assembly comprising at least two mutually joined ring-shaped bodies. The ringed sealing gasket can be comprised of a metal and the bottom gasket section is separated from the top gasket section by an inner portion that is comprised of one or more non-conductive materials that are ductile but do not flow during dynamic motion and forces associated with the motion of the pipe joints wherein at least one layer of the inner portion includes rings with toroidal wrapped fibers having voids filled with adhesives such that shear forces occurring during movement of the piping assembly are distributed predominantly in the tensile direction along the axial length of the fibers, thereby eliminating cracking of the gasket under excessive loads.
