Abstract: Downhole drilling vibration analysis uses acceleration data measured in three orthogonal axes downhole while drilling to determine whether drilling assembly's efficiency has fallen to a point where the assembly needs to be pulled. In real or near real time, a downhole tool calculates impulse in at least one direction using the measured acceleration data over an acquisition period and determines whether the calculated impulse exceeds a predetermined acceleration threshold for the acquisition period. If the impulse exceeds the threshold, the tool pulses the impulse data to the surface where the calculated impulse is correlated to efficiency of the assembly as the drillstring is used to drill in real time. Based on the correlation, operators can determine whether to pull the assembly if excessive impulse occurs continuously over a predetermined penetration depth.

Title: Evaporator coil bypass device for hvac system
Inventor: CASTAGNE SYLVAIN
IPC: F24F13/02
Filed: 2009-10-05
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a bypass device to seasonally bypass an evaporator coil in a building's HVAC system to improve efficiency and reduce dust accumulation. The bypass device comprises one or more bypass diverters around an evaporator coil in an HVAC system, wherein bypass doors may be manipulated so as to close the air path through the evaporator coil and force air to flow through bypass diverters instead. The bypass doors are adjustable using control arms and may be maintained in either a flow-through or bypass position, so as to permit the air flow to travel through the evaporator coil, or bypass the coil, as the operator chooses. The control arms may alternatively be manipulated by a motor and connected to the thermostat so as to automatically select the appropriate position depending on the settings of the thermostat.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems for teaching and assessing a set of targets to a student, particularly in the field of literacy. One application of the invention is in teaching sound- symbol relationships. The invention using a rapid learning system, whereby each target is associated with a completion score and a student score. A student is prompted to identify a particular target (from a number of options). When the student correctly identifies a target, the student score is incremented until it reaches a completion score. The student score is decremented for incorrect responses. A support mechanism (e.g. a mnemonic) may be provided to the student - as a student shows increased proficiency, the level of support is reduced. This may be done by 'morphing' the mnemonic into a standard representation of the target. Associated methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: A fluid control device or a device for coupling a rotary valve actuator to a rotary valve shaft comprises a housing, a lever, a threaded collet, and first and second stops carried by the housing.  The lever comprises a cylindrical member containing the threaded collet. During operation, the first and second stops limit the rotation of the lever between first and second positions, thereby limiting rotation of the valve shaft. During assembly, the device further comprises a third stop that is removably carried by the housing. The third stop engages the lever in the first position simultaneously with the first stop, for example, thereby locking the lever against rotation. With the lever locked, a technician may apply generally any amount of torque to a draw nut disposed on the collet to tighten and/or loosen the collet onto the rotary valve shaft without rotating the lever.
