Patent GB-2094380-A (GB)
Title: Forming pile holes through foundations
IPC: E02D27/48
Filed: 1981-03-09
Abstract: A hole (17) is drilled through a floor slab (10) and a tube (18) is driven vertically down through the hole to penetrate the under-floor substrate (11) adjacent to a wall (13). The tube (18) has a closed lower end (19) and an open upper-end (20) inclined at a desired pile hole angle to face the wall. Drilling then continues at said angle down through the wall and to the footings (14), waste falling into the tube (18). The problem of drill ineffectiveness and tip breakage in under-floor substrate, e.g. hard core, is thereby solved. <IMAGE>

Title: Controlling a gerotor pump serving as a transmission coupling
Inventor: CHILD ROBIN EDWARD
IPC: F16D31/04
Filed: 1982-08-20
Abstract: A drive transmission coupling between drive and driven members (12, 24) is in the form of a gerotor pump (20, 22) with a valve (34) in the pumped circuit which can be closed in order to prevent oil circulation and thereby lock the gerotor parts together for solid drive. The system is unidirectional, and to safeguard the pump against damage in the event of reverse rotation, a safety one-way valve is provided in the circuit, instead of providing a reversing ring for the pump, so that oil recirculation can take place when the valve (34) is closed. As shown, the coupling drives an engine-cooling fan having blades (26) and the one-way valve is located in the mouth of a bore (28). <IMAGE>

Title: Preventing buckling in a drill string
Inventor: DELLINGER THOMAS BAYNES
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 1983-01-06
Abstract: A method of preventing buckling of a drill string during drilling of a well in the earth comprises the steps of:   (a) measuring the forces on, and the azimuth and inclination of, a segment of the drill string; (b) resolving said forces into the axial and normal compounds applied to the next shallower segment, said axial and normal components being related to measured azimuth and inclination of said segments; and (c) determining the buoyed weight, sliding friction, and external forces applied to said segment of said drill string.   Steps (a), (b) and (c) are then repeated for successively shallower segments of said drill string and the resultant axial force on each segment of said drill string is compared with a buckling threshold to indicate when said resultant axial force on any segment exceeds said threshold.
