PATENTKRAV
1. Et apparat til bruk i et borehull (101), som omfatter:
en rørkonstruksjon (112);
en kraftpåføringsanordning (320) som er transporterbar i rørkonstruksjonen for å påføre en valgt kraft på rørkonstruksjonen som induserer en belastning på rørkonstruksjonen.
en sensor (150) på rørkonstruksjonen som gir et sensorsignal (151) som respons på belastningen på rørkonstruksjonen; og
en prosessor (174) som genererer, som respons på sensorsignalet, et utløsersignal (180) for aktivering av en arbeidsanordning (120) nede i borehullet når sensorsignalet oppfyller et valgt kriterium.
2. Apparat i henhold til krav 1, der sensorsignalet (151) samsvarer med én av: en deformasjon av rørkonstruksjonen; en belastning grunnet et økt internt trykk på rørkonstruksjonen; en endring i rørkonstruksjonens lengde; og en endring i rørkonstruksjonens form.
3. Apparat i henhold til krav 1 eller 2, der sensoren (150) omfatter én eller flere sensorer minst delvis innebygd i et ikke-metallisk bånd plassert rundt rørkonstruksjonen.
4. Apparat i henhold til krav 1 eller 2, der kraftpåføringsanordningen (320) velges fra en gruppe som består av: (i) et verktøy som er transporterbart inne i en rørkonstruksjon for å påføre en radialkraft på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen for å indusere belastningen på rørkonstruksjonen; (ii) en akustisk hammer som induserer belastningen på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen; og (iii) en hydraulisk anordning som utøver trykk på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen.
5. Apparat i henhold til ett av kravene 1–4, som ytterligere omfatter en trådløs sender (250) som sender et utløsersignal (180) til en aktiveringsanordning (125) som aktiverer arbeidsanordningen (120) som en reaksjon på utløsersignalet.
6. Apparat i henhold til krav 5, der arbeidsanordningen (120) velges fra en gruppe som består av: en plasseringsanordning; en glidehylse; og en ventil.
7. Apparat i henhold til krav 1 eller 2, som ytterligere omfatter et program forbundet til prosessoren som gir utløsersignalet, når sensorsignalet oppfyller et valgt kriterium som ett av et akustisk signal og et elektromagnetisk signal.
8. Fremgangsmåte for å utføre en operasjon i et borehull (101), som omfatter: å tilveiebringe en sensor (150) på en rørkonstruksjon (112) i borehullet, der sensoren gir et sensorsignal (151) som respons på en belastning på rørkonstruksjonen;
å transportere en kraftpåføringsanordning (320) i rørkonstruksjonen;
å aktivere kraftpåføringsanordningen til å påføre en valgt kraft til rørkonstruksjonen som induserer belastningen på rørkonstruksjonen til å forårsake at sensoren gir et sensorsignal; og
å behandle sensorsignalet med en prosessor (174) nede i borehullet for å generere et utløsersignal (180) som respons på sensorsignalet for å aktivere en arbeidsanordning (120) nede i borehullet til å utføre operasjonen når sensorsignalet oppfyller et valgt kriterium.
9. Fremgangsmåte i henhold til krav 8, der det å tilveiebringe en sensor (150) på en rørkonstruksjon (112) omfatter det å minst delvis innebygge én eller flere sensorer på et bånd som er plassert på en utside av rørkonstruksjonen.
10. Fremgangsmåte i henhold til krav 8 eller 9, der det å indusere belastningen på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen omfatter å indusere belastningen ved hjelp av én av: (i) å påføre en kraft på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen ved radialt å ekspandere en anordning inne i rørkonstruksjonen; (ii) å bruke en akustisk hammer på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen; og (iii) radialt å ekspandere rørkonstruksjonen ved å påføre et hydraulisk trykk på innsiden av rørkonstruksjonen.
11. Fremgangsmåte i henhold til et hvilket som helst av kravene 8–10, hvori arbeidsanordningen (120) er valgt fra en gruppe som består av: en plasseringsanordning; en glidehylse; og en ventil.
12. Fremgangsmåte i henhold til krav 8 eller 9, som ytterligere omfatter å sende ett av sensorsignalet (151) og utløsersignalet (180) ved hjelp av en trådløs sender (250) for å drive arbeidsanordningen (120).
13. Fremgangsmåte i henhold til krav 12, der det å drive arbeidsanordningen (120) omfatter å plassere et røroppheng i borehullet.
14. Fremgangsmåte i henhold til krav 8 eller 9, som ytterligere omfatter å fastsette belastningen som er påført rørkonstruksjonen og å forandre den påførte belastningen som en reaksjon på den fastsatte belastningen på rørkonstruksjonen.
