Filed:

Sep 16, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/234889

Inventors:

Brian M. Miller - Long Beach CA, US
John Cramer - Long Beach CA, US
David B. Lyon - San Diego CA, US
Eric J. Hostetler - Silverado CA, US
Bernard M. F. Welsch - Gardena CA, US

Assignee:

Force Multiplier, LLC - Huntington Beach CA

International Classification:

B66C 1/34

US Classification:

294 821, 294 8211

Abstract:

A retractable and fast-deploying grappling hook has a plurality of tines foldable around a central shaft that can quickly be individually set into a deployed position or a retracted position with no more than two turns of a capping head. The speed and ease of operation of the deploying and locking mechanism are due in part to the concavely machined undersurface of the head which mirrors the path end of the tines hinged to the side of the shaft. The same locking maneuver and adjustment of the head apply coincidentally to the deployed and retracted tines. A belt-attachable caddy houses a slotted receptacle for a removable plate mounting a take-up reel around which a cable secured to an eyelet at the proximal end of the shaft can be wound.

US Classification:

242170

Abstract:

A belt-attachable caddy for carrying a retractable and fast-deploying grappling hook houses a slotted receptacle for a removable plate mounting a take-up reel around which a cable secured to an eyelet on the hook is wound. The hook has a plurality of tines foldable around a central shaft that can quickly be individually set into a deployed position or a retracted position with no more than two turns of a capping head. The speed and ease of operation of the deploying and locking mechanism are due in part to the concavely machined undersurface of the head which mirrors the path end of the tines hinged to the side of the shaft. The same locking maneuver and adjustment of the head apply coincidently to the deployed and retracted tines.

Appl. No.:

9/069900

Inventors:

David Lewis Lyon - Rancho Santa Fe CA
Chanchai Poonpol - San Diego CA
Michael Andrew Montgomery - Cedar Park TX
Jimmy Everett Neeley - Georgetown TX

Assignee:

Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Austin TX

International Classification:

H04L 512

US Classification:

375261

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving acquired digital data over bandpass channels (i. e. channels having a limited range of frequencies) at high data transmission rates. Combined amplitude and phase modulation (quadrature amplitude modulation) is applied to the digital data and the sampled digital waveform converted to an analog waveform for passage over the bandpass channel. The sample rate is chosen as an integer multiple of the symbol rate and carrier frequency to significantly reduce processing overhead. Reception of the acquired data is similar to transmission and involves an analogous amplitude and phase demodulation. The quadrature amplitude modulation technique of the present invention is applied to an oil well-logging application to transmit the data acquired from the downhole logging instruments over the logging cable (bandpass channel) at high transmission rates.
