Title: LED Light strip
Inventor: XIAOPING LI
IPC: F21S4/28
Filed: 2019-01-25
Abstract: A LED light strip comprises an outer casing 1, an inner casing 2 disposed in the outer casing and a light-emitting component (3, Fig. 1) placed in the inner casing 2. The light-emitting component comprises a substrate 31 and LED modules 32 set on the substrate. The inner casing 2 is provided with light exits 21 through which the light of the LED modules 32 directly passes. Cut marks 22 are arranged in a position between the light exits 21 corresponding to an interval of the LED modules 32, and a wall of the outer casing 1 facing the LED modules is transparent. The cut marks 22 are thus easily visible since a user can directly see the cut marks through the transparent wall, thus aiding cutting a length of the light strip.

Title: Drilling apparatus and method for the determination of formation location
Inventor: RICHARD STEVENS
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2019-01-25
Abstract: A drill bit 2 driven by a motor 3 to rotate at the end of a length of drill tubing 4 includes torque measuring means 5 to measure the torque applied to the drill bit continuously during drilling in real-time. Processing means are provided to calculate mechanical specific energy (MSE) and measured depth data over time whilst drilling. The processing means compares measured data with known previously determined lithology data to determine the nature of the formation being drilled. Comparison to known types of formation allows for indication of a change from a first formation type to a second formation type 6, thus indicating the presence of a formation boundary 7. Measuring torque at the face of drill bit 2 identifies change of formation conditions and MSE as the bit passes. In directional drilling, a steering sub can quickly respond to the lithology boundary 7 to follow a narrow band of rock-type.

A volume of liquid may be placed within the connector pipes 332, 336a, 336b which are configured in a U-bend arrangement to act as a trap to keep the fluid in place. The pressure sensor measures the pressure of the gas (air) on the other side of the volume of fluid (water), see fig. 4. The venturi component 310 comprises: a first chamber 314 with a first diameter; a second chamber 318 with a second diameter, the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter, and a cone 316 connecting the first and second chambers, wherein a convergence angle of the cone is between 30 and 60 degrees, preferably between 40 and 50 degrees, and more preferably 45 degrees. A method for remotely monitoring a biogas digester comprises: using a gas meter, monitoring at least one parameter of gas emitted from a biogas digester; recording the monitored at least one parameter locally on the gas meter; and transmitting data associated with the at least one parameter to a remote server. The at least one parameter comprises at least one of: static pressure, differential pressure, flow rate, and gas consumption. At the remote server, patterns are detected in the received data, and gas usage, gas consumption and feeding habits of a biogas digester are generated.
