UNTETHERED LOGGING DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS OF LOGGING A WELLBORE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949819 titled 'UNTETHERED LOGGING DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS OF LOGGING A WELLBORE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an untethered device with a magnetic actuator and a buoyancy device that includes an attachment plate, degradable ballast weight, and buoyancy-enhancing feature.
- The device is untethered, allowing for freedom of movement.
- The magnetic actuator is coupled to the housing, providing a secure connection.
- The attachment plate is securable to the magnetic actuator, ensuring stability.
- The degradable ballast weight is coupled to the attachment plate, allowing for controlled buoyancy.
- The buoyancy-enhancing feature enhances the device's ability to float.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in underwater exploration, marine research, and ocean monitoring.
Problems Solved
The device solves the problem of maintaining buoyancy in underwater environments without the need for a tether.
Benefits
The device offers freedom of movement, stability, and controlled buoyancy for various underwater applications.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be applied in underwater robotics, marine biology research, and oceanographic studies.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be underwater drones with tethered buoyancy devices for controlled movement and stability.
What are the specific materials used in the degradable ballast weight?
The specific materials used in the degradable ballast weight are not mentioned in the abstract. Further details on the composition of the ballast weight would be needed to understand its environmental impact and performance.
How does the buoyancy-enhancing feature improve the device's performance in underwater environments?
The abstract does not provide specific details on how the buoyancy-enhancing feature enhances the device's performance. Further information on the design and functionality of this feature would be necessary to assess its impact on the device's buoyancy and overall effectiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
An untethered device includes a housing, a magnetic actuator that is coupled to the housing, and a buoyancy device. The buoyancy device includes an attachment plate that is securable to the magnetic actuator, a degradable ballast weight that is coupled to the attachment plate, and a buoyancy-enhancing feature that is positioned adjacent to the attachment plate.
