Title: A motor pulse controller
Inventor: GUGGARI MALLAPPA I
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for generating one or more than one physically detectable physical influence changes to control or manipulate a down hole device. The present invention intercepts existing control signals to various controllers on the rig and superimposes an encoded command on these existing control signals. The controllers comprise of motor drives, choke controllers (425), acoustic pulse generator/tracer injectors (423) and other controllers that are used to generate a physically detectable changes in the rig environment. The encoded command acting on existing or new controllers generates a perceptible change in a physical parameter such as a variation in drilling mud pressure (452), a variation in drill string rotation speed (430), a variation is weight on bit (424), generation of acoustic pulse (436), or a variation in tracer injection properties. The physical change is sensed by a downhole device and interpreted as information indicating to the downhole device that it is to execute a command or adjust an operating parameter.

Abstract: An illuminator and surgical illumination system are disclosed, one embodiment of the surgical illumination system comprising: a light source fo r providing a light beam; an optical cable, optically coupled to the light source for receiving and transmitting the light beam; a handpiece operably coupled to t he optical cable; an optical fiber assembly operably coupled to the handpiece, wherein the optical fiber assembly is optically coupled to the optical cable to receive and transmit the light beam and wherein the optical fiber assembly comprises a plurality of fiber guides, wherein each fiber guide comprises a cladding having one or more fib er cores for transmitting and scattering the light beam to illuminate the surgical field, and a cannula, operably coupled to the handpiece for housing and directing the optical fiber assembly. The surgical illumination system can further comprise a separator operable to maintain a spacing between the fiber guides. The optical fiber assembly, the cannula, and the handpiece can be fabricated from biocompatible materials. T he optical fiber assembly can be operably coupled to the handpiece to enable linear displacement of the optical fiber assembly within the cannula. The handpiece can include an adjustment means, such as a push/pull mechanism, for adjusting th e linear displacement of the optical fiber assembly. Other adjusting means as known t o those in the art can also be used including, for example, a mechanical coupling, a n electrical coupling, a magnetic coupling, a pneumatic coupling or any combination thereof. The distal end of the optical fiber assembly can be coincident with an open aperture of the cannula. Adjusting the linear displacement via the adjusting means can thus cause the optical fiber assembly to exit the open aperture by an amount corresponding to the change in linear displacement (a reverse adjustment can retract the optical fiber assembly). Further, a separator can be positioned between the fiber guides i n such a way that the fiber guides can be uniformly displaced outward from one anothe r by an amount proportional to the change in linear displacement from the distal end of the cannula.
