20140203547 | Expansion Joint with One Way Movement Feature - A telescoping joint is used to space out ends of a string and distribute the string weight between the tie-down locations. The joint can be compressed to reduce its length but has a locking mechanism that prevents extension under tensile loading.

20140338891 | Slip with Altering Load Distribution Feature - A liner hanger has slips held by a slip body. A potential energy force to move the slips axially when the hanger is in position is selectively released. The slips move axially and radially outwardly guided on opposed edges by the slip body. The slip faces have wickers that dig into the surrounding casing that will support a liner string off the slips. Weight is set down to bring the housing into contact with the top of the slips that are already engaged to the surrounding casing. The nature of the loading between the slips and the casing changes from a radial reaction force from the casing going into the slip and then distributed circumferentially to the slip housing to an essentially axial loading of the slip housing down onto the slip that has penetrated the casing with an opposite reaction force in the casing wall. | 11-20-2014 |

The tool is rotationally locked at a lower location for run in and then can rotationally lock at an upper location upon release of the dart or ball shifting relative rotation capabilities to different members. Axial movement that releases the dart also aligns a ball with a decreasing depth groove so that relative part rotation can cam the ball against a leaf spring detent and into the mandrel flow path. | 03-12-2015 |

20150267499 | Modular Annular Debris Barrier with Rotationally Locked Segments - An annularly shaped modular debris barrier can be mounted to an internal or an external member that are spaced apart to define an annular gap that could collect debris. The modules rotationally lock. Modules have circumferential segments that can be initially spaced apart to promote flexing that can occur when there is relative axial movement between the structures that define the annular gap. The gaps between segments are circumferentially offset as between adjacent segments to create a labyrinth through which the fluid can move in opposed direction while at the same time causing the debris to be retained. The segments stay in a flexed condition to exert a contract stress on the free ends thereof that touch the adjacent structure. | 09-24-2015 |

20110072565 | INFLATABLE AIR RECOIL SUPPRESSOR - An inflatable and adjustable shock absorption system including a shock absorption unit with interacting, force-dispersing dimple arrays and an intervening, reversibly inflatable air bladder. | 03-31-2011 |
20140152792 | PHYSIOLOGICAL BIOSENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE OR POWERED EQUIPMENT - A head-mounted video-camera-based eye sensor system and method for measuring palpebral movement is disclosed. The system and method comprise a display that includes at least one display element responsive to palpebral movement information from the eye sensor. The system and method also comprise an electronic interface to a vehicle or powered equipment to transmit the palpebral movement information to the vehicle or powered equipment. The system and method can be used to alert the user, the vehicle, and/or the powered equipment to the fact that a person might be experiencing vertigo, motion sickness, motion intolerance, and/or spatial disorientation. | 06-05-2014 |
20140173812 | IMPACT REDUCTION SYSTEM - A wearable impact reduction device and method are disclosed. The wearable device and method comprise three layers, the middle layer of which comprises a resilient element that displaces as a result of an impact. The device and method also comprise the use of a motion sensor and a physiologic biosensor. In at least one embodiment, one of the layers of the device can be responsive to one of the sensors. In at least one embodiment, the motion sensor can comprise an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, an acoustic sensor, an infrared sensor, or a GPS (global positioning system) receiver and the motion sensor can be responsive to acceleration, position, or velocity. In at least one embodiment, the physiologic biosensor can sense blood pressure, body temperature, blood volume, calorie consumption, electro-cardio activity, heart rate, hematocrit, hemoglobin, infrared thermographic information, neural/brain activity, percent oxygenation, respiratory acidosis, respiratory rate, rhythm disturbance, vital signs, or a blood chemistry characteristic such as alcohol level, electrolyte level, glucose level, hydration level, pH, or oxygen saturation. | 06-26-2014 |
20150273179 | MECHANICAL AND FLUID SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF MOTION SICKNESS, MOTION- INDUCED VISION SICKNESS, AND OTHER VARIANTS OF SPATIAL DISORIENTATION AND VERTIGO - A non-electronic head-worn system for providing visual inertial head orientation information to a person is disclosed. The system comprises a head-worn unit that displays at least one orientation reference symbol to the person wearing the unit wherein the orientation reference symbol stays in a fixed visual position for the person when the person's head changes orientation. The system comprises an optical element located in the optical path between the user's eye and the orientation reference symbol, such as a lens, mirror, a prism, a beam splitter, a retro-reflector, or any other device or medium that can change the appearance or apparent location of an image. The system further comprises a pitch indicator that gives visual pitch information to the person and/or a roll indicator that gives visual roll information to the person. The pitch indicator and the roll indicator are responsive to a pendulum, a rolling element, or a fluid in a reservoir. The pitch element and the roll element do not use electricity or electronics. | 10-01-2015 |
