Abstract: A turbine controls testing device is disclosed that can be adapted to test the control systems of most turbine rotors without the use of steam. The turbine controls testing device comprises an operator control system, a drive motive power assembly and a purge gas assembly. The device controllably spins, accelerates, and decelerates a turbine with a relatively high level of precision, minimizing the likelihood that, in the event an overspeed mechanism malfunction occurs, the turbine will be damaged as a result of sonic velocity or any other mechanical failure.

Abstract: In a borehole logging tool, the flow of conductive fluid into or out of a wellbore at the wellbore wall is detected and measured with a sensor loop proximate the borehole inner wall. The sensor loop includes a series of contiguous sensors that act as electromagnetic flowmeters and provide fluid measurements covering the entire circumference of the sensor loop. The sensor loop includes an elastic element that forces the sensor loop outward to maintain pressure along the sensor loop circumference against the interior borehole wall. The sensor loop is designed to lie at a non-perpendicular angle to the wellbore axis, and mechanical arms press the top and bottom of the loop against the borehole inner wall.

Preferably a base fluid comprising excess amounts of only one of the foam generating agents is pumped into the drill string using a hydraulic pump. The other foam generating agent then is injected in a controlled manner downstream of the circulation pump such that the drilling fluid is foamed after being pumped for circulation through the well.

Abstract: An abridged value k determined, satisfies k = 2*(bl(b)-1) - bl(a). Division with remainder is executed in which the dividend a shortened by its k smallest bits, is divided by the divisor b shortened by its k smallest bits, to obtain a quotient q and a shortened remainder t. Remainder r is calculated using the k smallest bits of the dividend a, the k smallest bits of divisor b, the prior quotient q determined and the calculated shortened remainder t. This satisfies the relationship r = a - q*b and -b = r = b. Should the calculated remainder r be negative, then correction is executed, in which the remainder is increased r by the divisor b and the quotient q is reduced by 1. INDEPENDENT CLAIMs are included for a corresponding computer program product and a portable data medium, especially a chip card or chip module.
