20090166035	Borehole Imaging and Orientation of Downhole Tools - Methods of generating radial survey images of a borehole and methods of orienting downhole operational tools are disclosed. The disclosed techniques are used to generate a radial survey of the borehole in the form of one or more rose-plots and/or a radial image of the borehole and surrounding area that can be used to properly orient downhole operational tools in the desired direction. The tool string includes, from the top to bottom, a telemetry module, a non-rotating centralizer, a motor module, an imaging sonde used to survey the borehole, a rotating centralizer and a downhole operational tool. The motor module can be used to rotate the imaging sonde to generate the radial survey and then rotate the downhole operational tool to the desired direction based upon a review of the radial survey.	07-02-2009

20100064461	Toothbrush with textured bristle - The toothbrush with textured bristles provides a tooth cleaning implement that allows for a greater abrasive or scrubbing effect than that of a conventional toothbrush. The toothbrush with textured bristles includes an elongated handle having a head portion and a plurality of bristles extending from the head portion. Each of the bristles is formed from a non-porous material and has opposed fixed and free ends and a side surface extending between the fixed and free ends. The side surface is textured to abrade the user's teeth during brushing thereof. The textured side surface may be formed as a substantially helical surface having alternating helical ridges and helical grooves or, alternatively, may be formed as a plurality of spaced apart rings.	03-18-2010

20100236105	PROTECTIVE TOE CAP FOR INDUSTRIAL FOOTWEAR - The invention relates to a one-piece protective toe cap for safety footwear, forming a concave frame consisting of a front wall with connected side walls, the upper edges of which are joined by a concave surface along the profile of the last. The contour or edge of the flange of the toe cap is provided with a recess in order to house a tab and provide comfort, as well as improving the appearance of the footwear (not shown in these documents). The design withstands impact tests of approximately 101.7 to 146.7 Joules (10.4 to 14.95 kgf−m), leaving clearance of approximately 11 mm to 14 mm in the capped shoe and not only at the tip of the cap.	09-23-2010
