Abstract:
Methods and systems for data communication in a distributed computing environment include: providing a first network node associated with a first data processing location, the first network node providing provide a network interface for a first distributed computing node at the first data processing location; and forwarding task data flow messages from the first distributed computing node to a second distributed computing node at a second data processing location via a second network node associated with the second data processing location.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for scheduling jobs in a distributed computing environment include: obtaining a set of task identifiers, each task identifier identifying a corresponding data processing task included in one of a plurality of jobs to be scheduled for execution at one of a plurality of data processing locations; and selecting and scheduling a data processing task of the identified job having a longest optimal completion time to the data processing location corresponding to the optimal completion time of the selected data processing task.
Abstract:
A mandrel for re-pressurization is disclosed. Said mandrel comprising a pipe body, connecting threads at both ends of the pipe body of said mandrel; a containing section and a secondary pressurizing section on the body pipe, wherein the secondary pressurizing section has a larger diameter than that of the containing section; a position of the containing section allows a compressed seal assembly to be contained in the containing section when in a setting state; a position of the secondary pressurizing section allows a internal surface of the seal assembly that is already compressed to be pressurized again in a compressing state. A downhole plugging apparatus is disclosed as well.
Abstract:
A fluid separating device comprises: a cylinder; a plurality of separators disposed around a cylinder; a first elastic piece disposed between one of the separators and the cylinder and applying an elastic force to the separator outwardly in the radial direction of the cylinder; a first guiding device passing through the cylinder axially and configured to reciprocate between an expanded position and a contracted position in the axial direction of the cylinder; a second guiding device penetrating the cylinder, connected to the separator at one end, and slidably fitted with the first guiding device at the other end via a fitting surface. The fluid separating device eliminates the friction between the separator and the inner wall of the wellhole when descending, therefore descending to the bottom of the well quickly.
Abstract:
An anchor structure is disclosed; the anchor structure is set on a mandrel of a downhole plugging apparatus. The anchor structure comprises (a) a clamping device, (b) a plurality of slips and (c) a conical slip holder, wherein the slips are connected to a conical face of the conical slip holder, and (d) a containing space between the clamping device and the slips; the anchor structure further comprises (e) a stroke pressure compensating device which is set within the containing space and can be compressed to provide pressure for the slips, wherein the containing space is designed to be able to accommodate whole or part of the stroke pressure compensating device in the situation that the slips are anchored into a wellbore wall and the clamping device is in contact with the conical slip holder. The containing space would prevent the stroke pressure compensation device from being damaged or extruded completely, and preclude the clamping device from contacting the slips directly when the slips retract.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a stress-buffer release lever, which comprises an outer lever and an inner lever; the outer lever consists of a front end and a back end, wherein external threads are provided on both ends of the outer lever; a weakened section is set between the front end and the back end of outer lever; a co-axial through-hole is provided inside the outer lever, and internal threads are set on an inner surface of the through-hole; the inner lever's outer surface is provided with an external thread, the inner lever is set within the through-hole of the outer lever and is connected to the outer lever by the threads; the tensile strength of the inner lever is lower than that of the outer lever. The current invention also discloses a downhole plugging apparatus.
Abstract:
A rubber sleeve protection ring and a downhole plugging apparatus are described in the present invention. Said rubber sleeve protection ring comprises several protection units which are arranged in a circle; each protection unit has a seal protrusion extending outwards and a seal groove corresponding to the seal protrusions, wherein the seal protrusions are embedded in the seal grooves on each adjacent protection unit; at least one end faces of the protection unit is an inclined surface, wherein the direction of said inclined surface leads the protection unit moving radially and outwards when applying force on the end face.
