Abstract: The invention relates to an angle joint for the articulated connection of two components. Said joint comprises a ball, to which a first fixing element for fixing the ball to a first component is attached, and a ball socket, which at least partially surrounds the ball and has a second fixing element for fixing a second component. The fixing element that is attached to the ball can be rotated about a preferred axis at least within an angular range and pivoted in relation to the second fixing element. The aim of the invention is to produce an angle joint, in which the ball can be mounted easily and securely into the ball socket and which is easy to produce. To achieve this, the invention is provided with a lining part (8) that can be positioned in the ball socket (6) and that has a receiving area (15) for the ball (2), whereby the lining part (8) has at least one sliding surface (23) for bearing the ball (2) in a sliding manner and the lining part (8) is provided with positive-fit elements (25) that are formed thereon in one piece for securing said part in the ball socket (6) and with positive-fit elements (21) that are formed thereon in one piece for securing the ball (2) inside the connecting part (8). The fixing elements for fixing the ball (2) inside the lining part (8) can be configured as self-locking elements.

Abstract: Induction and other resistivity well logging tools determine formation conductivity at various depths but these measurements contain pronounced errors when the tool is proximate to an inclined underground bed boundary. A method to correct tool measurements includes calculating an expected tool response at a relative dip angle of zero degree and at a particular depth based on an earth model of the underground formation. An expected tool response at the known dip is then calculated. Comparing the calculated zero-dip response with the calculated non-zero-dip response yields the dip effect. A response is also modeled to exclude the non-linearity of the shoulder effect. Comparing the calculated linear response (obtained, e.g. by the Born approximation) with the calculated zero-dip response yields the nonlinear shoulder effect. The nonlinear shoulder effect and/or the dip effect may then be corrected for by subtracting them from the raw or pre-processed measurements.

Abstract: An ultrasonic waterjet apparatus (10) has a mobile generator module (20) and a high-pressure water hose (40) for delivering high-pressure water from the mobile generator module (20) to a hand-held gun (50) with a trigger and an ultrasonic nozzle (60). An ultrasonic generator in the mobile generator module (20) transmits high-frequency electrical pulses to a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive transducer (62) which vibrates to modulate a high-pressure waterjet flowing through the nozzle (60). The waterjet exiting the ultrasonic nozzle (60) is pulsed into mini slugs of water, each of which imparts a waterhammer pressure on a target surface. The ultrasonic waterjet apparatus (10) may be used to cut and de-burr materials, to clean and de-coat surfaces, and to break rocks. The ultrasonic waterjet apparatus (10) performs these tasks with much greater efficiency than conventional continuous-flow waterjet systems because of the repetitive waterhammer effect. A nozzle with multiple exit orifices or a rotating nozzle (76) may be provided in lieu of a nozzle with a single exit orifice to render cleaning and de-coating large surfaces more efficient. A water dump valve (27) and controlling solenoid are located in the mobile generator module (20) rather than the gun (50) to make the gun lighter and more ergonomic.
