20140374850 | Apparatus and Method for Shielding and Biasing in MEMS Devices Encapsulated by Active Circuitry - One or more conductive shielding plates are formed in a standard ASIC wafer top metal layer, e.g., for blocking cross-talk from MEMS device structure(s) on the MEMS wafer to circuitry on the ASIC wafer when the MEMS device is capped directly by the ASIC wafer in a wafer-level chip scale package. Generally speaking, a shielding plate should be at least slightly larger than the MEMS device structure it is shielding (e.g., a movable MEMS structure such as an accelerometer proof mass or a gyroscope resonator), and the shielding plate cannot be in contact with the MEMS device structure during or after wafer bonding. Thus, a recess is formed to ensure that there is sufficient cavity space away from the top surface of the MEMS device structure. The shielding plate is electrically conductive and can be biased, e.g., to the same voltage as the opposing MEMS device structure in order to maintain zero electrostatic attraction force between the MEMS device structure and the shielding plate. | 12-25-2014 |

The sealing member, ring members, cone assemblies and slip devices are positioned on and around the mandrel. Ring members push against an upper end and lower end of the sealing member. The sealing member has a surface interface contacting each of the ring members so that pressure from the ring members is exerted according to contact along the surface interface. The surface interface can have a curvature or be a double radiused surface. The ring members are pushed against the cone assemblies, and the ring members have ring surface interfaces contacting the cone assemblies. The pressure from the cone assemblies is exerted according to contact along the ring surface interface of the ring members. Coordination of the surface interfaces and ring surface interfaces control pressure to insure improved sealing against the wellbore. | 06-26-2014 |
20150136403 | BALL SEAT SYSTEM - The system and method for hydraulic fracturing includes a downhole tool with a sub, a sleeve, a ball seat support, and a ball seat holder. A ball dropped through the wellbore sits on the ball interface of the ball seat holder. Fluid flowing through the system pushes the ball against the ball interface, causing the ball seat holder to slide through the ball seat support and the ball interface to clamp the ball. A ball matches only a particular ball interface. Additional pressure forms a seal of the ball, the ball seat holder, and the ball seat support and moves the sleeve to slide through the sub and expose the throughbore to the annulus for the fracturing. Contact distributed between the ball, ball interface of the ball seat holder, and ball seat support withstands the temperature and pressure of the fracturing without deformation or failure of the ball. | 05-21-2015 |
