| 20090271994 | SHAVING FOIL FOR AN ELECTRIC SHAVING APPARATUS - A shaving foil for an electric shaving apparatus. The shaving foil includes a perforated region with a plurality of holes which are separated from each other by bars. The perforated region is divided at least into two zones, preferably a central zone, a first edge zone, and a second edge zone. The central zone is arranged between the first edge zone and the second edge zone. The holes in the central zone have (i) an average size which is smaller than the average size of the holes in the first edge zone and in the second edge zone, (ii) a floating mean value of the size of the openings in the central zone smaller than a floating mean value of the size of the openings in the first edge zone and the second edge zone, or both (i) and (ii). | 11-05-2009 |
| 20110067244 | Lower Cutter for the Shaving Head of a Dry Shaver - The invention relates to a lower cutter ( | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110209350 | CUTTING HEAD FOR AN ELECTRIC RAZOR - A cutting head for an electric razor is provided. The cutting head has at least one upper blade and a lower blade associated with the upper blade, which upper and lower blades are movably supported relative to one another and can be driven accordingly by a drive device. The upper blade has a contact surface for the skin to be shaved, which contact surface is formed by a plurality of webs that are each bounded by slots. The longitudinal extent of the webs runs substantially perpendicular to a threading edge bounding the contact surface. The contact surface is designed to be concave and rises towards the threading edge, where the threading edge has an outer radius and this outer radius encloses an angle of less than 90°. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120055025 | Shaving Head with Multiple Shaving Units - A shaving head for an electric dry shaver which comprises a base element for carrying at least three cutter units, each providing an outer cutter and an inner cutter arranged to be moved in sliding contact relative to each other, whereby at least one cutter unit comprises a foil-type outer cutter. The shaving head further comprises a first trimmer-type cutting unit that has a plurality of slots defined by a plurality of adjacent bar elements featuring cutting edges. The shaving head comprises a second trimmer-type cutting unit having an outer cutter that comprises a plurality of teeth featuring cutting edges and spaced from each other so as to define a plurality of slits. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120055026 | Shaving Unit for an Electric Shaver - A shaving unit for an electric shaver which comprises an outer cutter and an inner cutter associated to that outer cutter. The cutters are mounted so as to be movable relative to each other and adapted to be set in a relative motion by a drive mechanism. The inner cutter provides a plurality of cutting edges and abuts with its outer face on the inner face of the outer cutter. The outer cutter provides a plurality of teeth equipped with cutting edges. The outer cutter provides two comb elements which are disposed opposite one another and which extend according to the direction of the relative motion. The two comb elements are aligned with respect to one another such that the tips of the teeth of the first comb element are facing the tips of the teeth of the second comb element, the tips of the teeth spaced from one another. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20090014175 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOGGING WITH WIRED DRILLPIPE - A system for logging with wired drill pipe includes a logging tool string; an interface sub in operable communication with the logging tool string; and a wired pipe in operable communication with the interface sub and method for logging with wired drill pipe. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090065254 | Short Normal Electrical Measurement Using an Electromagnetic Transmitter - A method of drilling a wellbore is disclosed in which an electromagnetic signal is transmitted from a gap sub on a bottomhole assembly of a measurement-while drilling device into an earth formation. A related signal strength is measured at a surface location. Contact of a drill bit of the BHA with a new formation is estimated from a variation of the measured signal strength. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100018701 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING POOR HOLE CLEANING AND STUCK PIPE - A method for preventing a downhole tool from getting stuck in a wellbore, includes: monitoring output of at least one friction sensor mounted on an external surface of the downhole tool; and if the output indicates a high friction condition, then reducing the friction to prevent the tool from getting stuck. A tool and a computer program product are provided. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110017334 | WIRED CONDUIT SEGMENT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A method of manufacturing a downhole conduit segment is disclosed. The method includes: extruding a material as a tubular shape to form a body of the conduit segment having an interior bore extending through a length of the segment, the body including an exterior surface and an interior surface defined by the interior bore, the material being an extrudable material sufficient to withstand conditions in a downhole environment; and extruding at least one passageway extending along the length of the body and disposed at least partially between the exterior surface and the interior surface, the at least one passageway having a shape configured to restrict lateral movement of a conductor disposed therein. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110018262 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COUPLING CONDUIT SEGMENTS - A method of coupling segments of a borehole conduit is disclosed. The method includes: positioning a first conduit segment at a location selected from a surface location and a downhole location, the first conduit segment having a first end and a second end, the first conduit segment including a pin connector at the first end; orienting the first conduit segment so that the first end is located uphole relative to the second end; and coupling a second conduit segment in operable communication with the first conduit segment, the second conduit segment having a box connector at an end of the second conduit segment that is configured to engage the pin connector of the first segment. | 01-27-2011 |
