Abstract: A cocoon sorting system sorts cocoons with healthy larvae therein, for example healthy leafcutter bee cells, from those with non-healthy larvae therein. The system conveys cocoons through a target scanning area on a conveyor where an x--ray source directs x-rays at the cocoons in the target scanning area. An opposing sensor head receives the x-rays which have passed through the target scanning area for generating a density image of cocoons in the target area. A processor compares the density image to a prescribed density criteria and determines a rejected cocoon if the density criteria is not met. A sorting mechanism removes the rejected cocoon from a remainder of cocoons on the conveyor.

Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system in which signals from the surface are sent by changing flow rate of the drilling fluid supplied to the drill string during drilling of a wellbore. The signals are sent based on a fixed or dynamic time period schemes so that the sent signals cross a threshold value in a known manner. A detector measures the changes in the flow rate. A controller downhole determines the number of times a downhole parameter, such as voltage, relating to the changes in the flow rate crosses a predefined threshold value. Based on the number of the crossings and the timing of such crossings, signals are assigned to commands. The controller controls or operates a steering device based on the commands.

Each aperture in the connector has an associated set screw for securing the conductor thereto. A molded seal member is adapted to mate with the upper seal body and to provide a water-tight connection when mated with the enclosure. The seal member has a number of seal ducts each aligned with one of the apertures in the connector. The seal ducts provide a water-tight seal around the plastic sheath of the conductor when installed in the assembly. Each seal duct initially includes a missile-shaped wire way guide plug inserted therein. Each wire way guide plug can be opened at the bottom to receive the exposed end of the conductor therein. The wire way guide plugs remain installed in the seal ducts to seal them until a conductor is inserted through the associated seal duct.
