Abstract: Dog feces must be collected by law in Canada and in some other countries around the world. The collecting process is inconvenient for many reasons out of which:     1- Dog owners with back or knee pain 2- Seniors 3- Pregnant women 4- People who doesn't like handling the dogs feces 5- The collection in cold weather conditions 6- Dogs with digestive problems 7- People who cannot walk their dogs out for any reason.   Some dog owners because of the inconvenience of collecting after their dogs leave the feces in the public areas. This problem creates a polluted spot causing a hygiene problem, a non civilized look and a risk for any pedestrian to step in this spot.   The idea is to provide a tool (apparatus) that will encourage all dog owners not to leave the dog feces by eliminating all the above mentioned inconvenience that this operation might cause, and it can be used indoors and at night.   The tool consists of a permanent container attached to a length adjustable arm by means of a rigid ring. An angle adjustment of the ring with respect to the arm is possible by changing the position of the lock clamp at the bottom of the arm. A waste bag is installed inside the permanent container to simplify getting rid of the content. The arm length is adjustable to the user convenience by means of locks that are part of the arm. The long reach arm is collapsible to a convenient size for transportation (carry on) purpose.

Abstract: An anti-stall tool in an oil well drilling assembly that controls reciprocation of the drill bit by a controller that alters weight-on-bit (WOB) depending upon measured downhole pressure or torque at the downhole motor. The controller receives preset high and low working pressure limits for the downhole motor and keeps the drill bit rotating by maintaining WOB during normal drilling operations, increasing WOB if sensed working pressure indicates that drill bit loading or torque is undesirably low, and reversing WOB by retracting the drill bit if excessive working pressure or torque is sensed.
