Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tool string composite transmission element comprising a composite polymeric carrier comprising an electrical conductor embedded therein. The conductor may be connected to ground and to a cable and may be suitable for producing an electromagnetic field within the carrier when energized. The conductor may comprise a tab that may align with a slot within the carrier to prevent rotation of individual carrier fragments or segments strung along the conductor. The carrier may comprise a volume of MCEI particles sufficient to allow the carrier to transmit the electromagnet field to an adjacent carrier. The transmitted field may be used to convey data and power. The carrier may comprise an annular or linear configuration. Also, the carrier may comprise a bumper for securing the carrier within a groove within a tool within the tool string. The carrier may comprise a depression in its outer top surface above the electrical conductor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A tool string composite transmission element, comprising: a composite polymeric carrier comprising an electrical conductor embedded therein; the electrical conductor suitable for producing an electromagnetic field within the carrier when electrically energized, and wherein the annular composite polymeric carrier comprises a volume of MCEI particles sufficient to allow the polymeric carrier to transmit the electromagnet field to an adjacent similarly constructed polymeric carrier. 21 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises an annular configuration. 22 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises a linear configuration. 23 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductor is a wire. 24 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductor comprises an anti-rotation tab. 25 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises an anti-rotation slot that mates with the anti-rotation tab. 26 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the volume of MCEI particles comprises around between 65 and 84 percent by volume of the polymeric carrier. 27 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the volume of MCEI particles comprises around between 85 and 90 percent by volume of the polymeric carrier. 28 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the volume of MCEI particles comprises around up to 97 percent by volume of the polymer carrier. 29 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier exhibits in cross section an arcuate outer wall joining a planar top surface and an electrical conductor disposed below the top surface. 30 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier exhibits in cross section an arcuate outer wall joining a partially planar top surface and an electrical conductor disposed below the top surface, wherein the partially planar top surface is interrupted by a depression disposed above the electrical conductor. 31 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductor comprises a ground end attachable to the tool string and a transmission end attachable to a cable within the tool string. 32 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises a bumper. 33 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises a generally U-shape cross section. 34 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises one or more perforations. 35 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises a void proximate the bumper. 36 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier is disposed within a groove within a tool within the tool string. 37 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the groove comprises a region harder than the surrounding tool. 38 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises a plurality of fragments. 39 . The tool string composite transmission element of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric carrier comprises between 20 and 353 individual fragments strung together on the electrical conductor.
