Abstract: A magnetic based drill assembly (10) comprising a support platform (12) mounted to the magnetic base ( 14) for attachment to a work piece includes a feed mechanism (26) operatively connected to the platform (12) for rectilinear movement between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position. The feed mechanism (26) includes a splined collar (28) slidably mounted to the splined arbor (24) for movement relative to the splined arbor (24) and for rotatably supporting a drill tool (68). The motor (22) is mounted in a stationary position offset and substantially parallel to the feed mechanism (26) to reduce overall height and weight of the drill assembly (10). As the splined arbor (24) is located within a cylindrical feed arbor (28), a liquid coolant can be directly injected on the drill tool (68) and workpiece during operation of the drill assembly (10).

Abstract: Window cover systems include window cover material in the form of pleated panels or slats. The window cover material is suspended from a traverse track and is traversed along the track for opening and closing the window system. Arrangements for maintaining spacing and alignment of pleats or slats are provided. The alignment maintaining arrangements include traverse tapes which are substantially rigid in longitudinal and lateral directions in the plane of the tape, and are flexible in a direction perpendicular to the tape. The arrangements also include attaching the window cover material to vertical edge members and providing foldable spacer-members between adjacent edge-members. In one arrangement, a box-pleated panel of window cover fabric is suspended from a traverse track on slide-members.

Title: High vertical resolution antennas for nmr logging
Inventor: TAHERIAN REZA
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 2003-08-20
Granted: 2006-08-01
Abstract: A high vertical resolution antenna design is provided for use in an NMR measurement apparatus. Multiple coils are situated along the length of a magnet. A primary coil is energized to cause an oscillating magnetic field in a portion of earth formation surrounding a borehole. A secondary coil having smaller dimensions than the primary coil is operated to receive spin echoes from a depth of investigation associated with the secondary coil. A distance sufficient to minimize electrical coupling separates the coils. The separation distance can be reduced by selecting a secondary coil with orthogonal polarization to the primary coil.  Alternatively, a cross coil configuration can be implemented where the orthogonal secondary coil at least partially overlaps the primary coil, thereby reducing the overall length necessary for the polarizing magnet.
