Abstract: A drill collar section (22) of a drill string (16) (i.e. at the downhole end of the drill string) includes an electric transmitter/receiver assembly (26) which communicates with an electric/acoustic repeater assembly (28) which communicates with an acoustic transmitter/ receiver assembly (29) uphole of the drill string by the transmission and receipt of electric and acoustic signals through the drill string. With drill strings that include downhole motors (30) the electric transmitter/receiver assembly may be positioned above or below the motor. Uphole telemetry comprises an electric current induced in the drill string by the downhole electric transmitter (26). The electric current contains encoded information of downhole conditions and travels up the drill string where it is detected at the electric receiver of the electric/acoustic repeater (28). The received signal is processed to drive the acoustic transmitter of the electric/acoustic repeater. An acoustic signal containing the encoded information is induced into the drill string by this acoustic transmitter and permeates up the drill string to the uphole acoustic receiver (29). This received signal is processed and utilized to evaluate and/or optimize the drilling process or to evaluate the earth formations being drilled. Downhole telemetry comprises an acoustic signal induced in drill string (16) by the uphole acoustic transmitter (29). The acoustic signal contains encoded information of uphole commands and travels down the drill string where it is detected at the acoustic receiver of the electric/acoustic repeater (28). The received signal is processed to drive the electric transmitter of the electric/acoustic repeater. An electric signal containing the encoded information is induced in the drill string by this electric transmitter and travels down the drill string to the downhole electric receiver (26). This received signal is processed and utilized to command a downhole processor (i.e., computer).

Abstract: In order to optimize print quality, it is desirable to minimize the distance between a inkjet printhead (26) and the medium (90) that is being printed on. On the other hand, large dense areas of ink such as typically occurs in high quality color graphics will cause buckling of the print medium, and will be scraped and smeared by the printhead as the ink is applied unless a greater distance is maintained between the printhead and the nominal location of the print medium than is desirable for optimal quality of black on white text. Color inkjet printers (10) commonly employ a plurality of print cartridges (22), usually either two or four, mounted in the printer carriage (20) to produce a full spectrum of colors. It is therefore advantageous if at least the black print cartridge is closer to the print medium when printing text than is at least the color cartridge when printing color graphics. Accordingly, a pen carriage with adjustable printhead-to-medium spacing (44, 115, Fig 8) is disclosed. A controller (120) tells the printer to decrease the printhead-to-medium spacing when text printing is being performed and to increase the printhead-to-medium spacing when printing color graphics and/or large dense area, based on the current print mode, the type of ink being used and/or the density of the ink being deposited, to thereby enable at least the black printhead to be as close to the medium as possible during the printing of black on white text, so that the print quality of conventional text will be optimized.
