Abstract: A raising and lowering device, particularly suitable for incapacitated human or animal patients. The device includes a load carrying support having at least one elongated arm including a proximal end section and distal end section. The arm is pivotable on the device at the proximal end section and movable by pivoting between an operating position in which the support is positioned for carrying said load, and a stored position in which the arm forms a graspable handle allowing an operator to carry the device. The invention also relates to components suitable for use with the device.

Abstract: A technique is described for releasing a borehole seismic acquisition tool from a stuck position within a borehole. The borehole seismic acquisition tool includes a tool body having at least one sensor package. The borehole seismic acquisition tool further includes an anchoring arm, and anchoring arm linkage adapted to connect the anchoring arm to the tool body. The anchoring arm linkage includes a weakpoint mechanism adapted to break in response to a minimum threshold amount of breaking force being applied upon the weakpoint mechanism. The anchoring arm includes a first end and a second end. The second end of the anchoring arm is pivotally attached to the anchoring arm linkage. The first end of the anchoring arm includes a tip portion which defines a slot. The anchoring arm also includes a movable cam inserted into the slot and removably secured to the first end via a first connector pin inserted through an aperture in the cam. According to at least one implementation, the cam is at least partially rotatable about the first connector pin. An exposed portion of the cam is engaged with the surface of borehole wall. When a failure of retraction of the anchoring arm is detected, the cam may be caused to rotate against the borehole wall surface in response. The rotation of the cam against the borehole wall surface causes a force to be exerted upon the weakpoint mechanism, which, in turn, causes the weakpoint mechanism to break. The breaking of the weakpoint mechanism results in a release of the borehole seismic acquisition tool from the stuck position. According to a specific embodiment, rotation of the cam against the borehole wall surface may be caused by a pulling force applied to a top portion of the borehole seismic acquisition tool.

Abstract translation: 描述了一种用于从钻孔内的卡住位置释放井眼地震采集工具的技术。 钻孔地震采集工具包括具有至少一个传感器封装的工具主体。 井眼地震采集工具还包括锚固臂和锚固臂连杆，其适于将锚固臂连接到工具主体。 锚固臂连杆机构包括适于根据施加在弱点机构上的最小阈值量的断裂力而断裂的弱点机构。 锚固臂包括第一端和第二端。 锚固臂的第二端枢转地附接到锚臂上。 锚固臂的第一端包括限定狭槽的尖端部分。 锚固臂还包括插入槽中的可移动凸轮，并且经由插入凸轮中的孔的第一连接销可移除地固定到第一端。 根据至少一个实施方案，凸轮至少部分地围绕第一连接器销旋转。 凸轮的暴露部分与钻孔壁的表面接合。 当检测到锚固臂的缩回失败时，可以使凸轮相对于钻孔壁表面旋转。 凸轮相对于钻孔壁表面的旋转导致施加在弱点机构上的力，这又导致弱点机构断裂。 弱点机制的破坏导致井眼地震采集工具从卡住位置的释放。 根据具体实施例，凸轮相对于井眼壁表面的旋转可以由施加到井眼地震采集工具的顶部的拉力引起。

Abstract: An electron emitter assembly and a method for adjusting a power level of an electron beam are provided. The electron emitter assembly includes a laser configured to emit a first light beam. The electron emitter assembly further includes a light-attenuating device configured to receive the first light beam and to attenuate the first light beam between a first light intensity and a second light intensity greater than the first light intensity. The electron emitter assembly further includes a photo-cathode configured to receive the first light beam from the light-attenuating device. The photo-cathode is further configured to emit a first electron beam having a first power level in response to receiving the first light beam having the first light intensity. The photo-cathode is further configured to emit a second electron beam having a second power level greater than the first power level in response to receiving the first light beam having the second light intensity. The electron emitter assembly further includes an anode configured to receive the first and second electrons beams from the photo-cathode.
