Title: Apparatus and method for mechanical caliper measurements during drilling and logging-while-drilling operations
Inventor: KINNEY JAMES
IPC: E21B47/08
Filed: 2006-01-30
Abstract: A caliper tool (200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,1000) used on a drilling tubular and having extensible members (206,306,406,506,606,706,806,906,1006) that remain decoupled with respect to the borehole wall during caliper measurements and while the extensible members are extended to allow movementin and through the borehole. A processor processes known and measured information to determine the size and shape of the borehole. Formation evaluation instruments may be included to allow formation evaluation substantially simultaneously with the caliper measurements.

Title: Synthetic bridging using data conversion
Inventor: BEERS TED
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A method of creating a synthetic bridge (100) has select data (406) logically extracted from an application layer of a first network (12A) which contains one or mroe first data streams to be transported to a second network (12B). Select data (406) is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (12B). Select data (406) is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (12B) which contains one or more second data streams to be transported to the first network (12A). The two or more first and second data streams are transported over separate sets of non-network media link interfaces (130-133) that only allow for limited information encoding and inherently prevent any network protocol information from being passed with the two or more first and second data streams until after the two or more first and second data streams are in the control of the opposite network from which they were transported.

Title: Servo assembly for power assisted steering gears and to a power assisted steering using such assembly
IPC: B62D5/00
Filed: 1974-03-08
Abstract: 1465584 Power steering systems ROBERT BOSCH GmbH 8 March 1974 [10 March 1973] 10405/74 Heading B7H [Also in Division F2] A servo assembly, particularly for use in a vehicle steering apparatus, comprises a manually actuable drive shaft 10 connected to an output shaft 11 via a torsion member 12, and a clutch including a spring 23 which transfers drive from a gear-wheel 21 driven by an auxiliary motor to the output shaft when the shafts 10 and 11 are rotated relative to each other beyond a given angle. A cup-shaped member 13 having an axial slot 15 in its side wall 14 is fixed to the drive shaft 10 and receives the ends 24, 25 of the spring and a dog 18 fixed via a cylindrical member 17 to the output shaft 11. When the shafts are relatively undeflected, for example in a straight ahead driving position, if the auxiliary motor is accidentally started the spring is rotated with gear-wheel 21, because of its light frictional engagement therewith, until an end 24 engages the side of slot 15. Continued rotation of the gear-wheel will cause the spring to contract and no auxiliary motor assistance is transferred to the output shaft. If the shafts are relatively deflected through an angle α, or a greater angle, rotation of the gear-wheel brings an end of the spring into contact with the dog 18 before the other end contacts a side wall of the slot 15. This causes the spring to expand increasing its frictional engagement with the gear-wheel and transferring the motor drive to the output shaft. When the relative angle of deflection drops below value α the other spring end can contact an edge of slot 15 and the spring is contracted to disengage the clutch.
