Patent CA-2615635-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCARTHY PETER THOMAS
IPC: B63H1/36
Filed: 1997-01-09
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for increasing lift and decreasing drag on hydrofoils and swim fins. The methods include providing a hydrofoil (104) with a highly swept back leading edge portion (108) and orienting the hydrofoil (104) at a significantly reduced angle of attack in which the reduced angle of attack occurs at an angle that is substantially transverse to the hydrofoil's direction of movement through a surrounding fluid medium. Methods are disclosed for providing a hydrofoil with a substantially longitudinal recess or venting system located substantially along the center axis of the hydrofoil. The attacking surfaces of such hydrofoil are provided with an anhedral contour that forms a substantially lengthwise channel with the recess or venting system located along the center axis of this lengthwise channel.  The central recess or venting system also permits the water flowing in an attached manner along the lee surfaces of the hydrofoil to merge with the water flowing from the attacking surfaces through the recess or venting system so that lift is efficiently generated.

Inventor: HUTTON RICHARD
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2007-08-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a directional drilling apparatus for use in the directional drilling of bore holes. In one embodiment the apparatus comprises a plurality of cutting elements (16) movably mounted with respect to a rotatable body member (12), wherein the cutting elements are movable between first, radially retracted, positions and radially extended, positions for cutting. A rotary valve (42) is provided for synchronising the movement of the cutting elements between their respective extended and retracted positions in accordance with the rotational position of the body member in the bore hole being drilled. Control of the directional drilling system is effected by synchronised movement of the cutting elements from an inner to an outer radial position in accordance with the angular position of the drill bit. For example, by deploying the dynamic cutters over a 240- period, an elongate arcuate channel parallel to the longitudinal axis of the BHA will be produced. As drilling progresses a near bit stabiliser (20) contacts with the portion of the well bore which was not removed with the dynamic cutters and this contact exerts a force onto the drill bit. The force causes the drill bit to cut sideways and hence deviation of the drill bit is achieved.
