| 20100007887 | GLAZING INSPECTION - A method of inspecting the fragmentation pattern of a single ply of toughened glass, following a fragmentation test carried out in accordance with ECE R43 involves illuminating a first portion of the ply of glass in transmission using a strip light source located on a first side of the transparent support. An image of the first portion of the ply of glass is captured using an image capture device located on a second side of the transparent support means, aligned with and fixed in a relative position to the strip light source. A series of images of the glass are collected and analyzed to produce an image of the fragmentation pattern. Imaging can be performed using an apparatus for carrying out the imaging. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100232677 | GLAZING INSPECTION METHOD - Methods of determining the divergence angle between a primary image and a secondary image generated by a glazing are disclosed. In a first method, a glazing is illuminated with a light source and a primary and a secondary image of the light source, generated by the glazing, are captured using an image capture device. The distance between the primary and the secondary image is determined, and the divergence angle determined from this distance. In a second method, the primary and secondary images are viewed on a target marked with a scale indicating the divergence angle. The divergence angle is read from the scale and the positions the primary and secondary image. In this second method, the light source is located at the center of the target. In both methods, the light source comprises at least one light emitting diode. Preferably, the method is used to examine the edge region of a glazing. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100245560 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMAGING A FRAGMENTATION PATTERN FORMED IN A PLY OF TOUGHENED GLASS - A method of imaging a fragmentation pattern formed in a single ply of toughened glass having first and second opposing surfaces is disclosed. Initially, a region of the fragmentation pattern is aligned with an image capture device, where the image capture device is arranged in a spaced relationship with the first surface of the ply of glass to capture images of the region when being illuminated in transmission. The region is then illuminated from a first illumination direction and capturing a first image of the region, and subsequently illuminated from at least a second illumination direction and capturing at least a second image of the region. The images are then superimposed to produce a composite image of the region. Preferably four images are obtained. A vehicle glazing optical inspection apparatus for carrying out such a method is also disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20110220410 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ONLINE AUTOMATION - A changepoint detector for modeling data received from at least one sensor in a proces in the hydrocarbon industry. The data is segmented into a plurality of segments and fo each segment a model is assigned and the data corresponding to the segment fit to tha model. A plurality of segmentations are thus provided and these segmentations ar evaluated and assigned weights indicative of the fit of the models of the segmentation t the underlying data. The segmentation models are further used to calculate a result tha may be input to a process control program. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20100294569 | METHODS FOR CUTTINGS FOR A WIRELINE DRILLING TOOL - A method of removing cuttings from a workfront of a lateral borehole hole being drilled from a main borehole by a drilling tool is provided. The drilling tool comprising a tool body including a motor, an axial drive mechanism for advancing the tool body in the well, and a drill bit powered by the motor for drilling the underground formation at the workface and producing cuttings as the tool is advanced. The drilling tool is preferably connected to the surface by means of a cable extending through the lateral borehole and main borehole. The method independently comprising transporting the drilled cuttings from the workface to the part of the lateral borehole immediately behind the drilling tool. Transporting the drilled cuttings from immediately behind the drilling tool to the junction of the lateral borehole and the main well. And transporting the cuttings from the junction to a place of disposal. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20090044977 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DRILLING SYSTEM FOR DRILLING A BOREHOLE IN AN EARTH FORMATION - This disclosure relates in general to a method and system for controlling a drilling system for drilling a borehole in an earth formation. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for controlling dynamic interactions between the drilling system for drilling the borehole and an inner surface of the borehole being drilled to steer the drilling system to directionally drill the borehole. In another embodiment of the present invention, data regarding the functioning of the drilling system as it drills the borehole may be sensed and interactions between the drilling system for drilling the borehole and an inner surface of the borehole may be controlled in response to the sensed data to control the drilling system as the borehole is being drilled. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20110139508 | GAUGE PADS, CUTTERS, ROTARY COMPONENTS, AND METHODS FOR DIRECTIONAL DRILLING - The present invention recites a method, system and apparatus, wherein said method, system and apparatus comprises a gauge pad for a rotary component received within a borehole, the gauge pad comprising an exterior surface dimensioned for rotation in close proximity to the borehole, a pocket extending through the exterior surface, the pocket in fluid communication with a pressurized fluid source, and wherein the exterior surface is dimensioned such that when a pressurized fluid is discharged through the pocket, the velocity of the fluid through a gap between the exterior surface and borehole creates a pressure drop sufficient to pull the rotary component toward the gauge pad. | 06-16-2011 |
