| 20100180906 | Hat Hair Comb Pin - A hat hair comb pin is provided. The hat hair comb pin is a one piece L shaped metal casted device. The lower part of the L is designed with flat prongs spaced evenly that penetrate the hair and provide a comfortable structure that rests on the head while supporting the hat. The upper part of the L shape creates distance between the inside of the hat and the hair. There is a curved appendage on the tipper part of the backside of the L shape. The extreme end of the appendage is designed to penetrate the inside brim of the hat thus securely attaching the hat hair comb pin to the hat. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20090306281 | Polyolefin Adhesive Compositions and Articles Made Therefrom - Provided are adhesive compositions composed of a polyolefin composition comprising at least about 50 wt. % polypropylene and at least one wax. The polymer compositions have a Dot T-Peel of about 1 Newton or more, a branching index (g′) of 0.95 or less measured at the Mz of the polymer, a molecular weight of 100,000 or less, and the adhesive compositions has a fast set time. The packaging industry desires adhesive compositions having a fast set time, such as those setting in less than five seconds from a molten state at conventional packaging operating temperatures to a solid or quasi solid having favorable Dot T-Peel, set time, and or fiber tear adhesion properties. Polymer based adhesives performing within this window are a favorable alternative to conventional formulated adhesives. The provided adhesive compositions exhibit a favorable balance of properties such as high adhesive strength, wide temperature operating window, and fast set time. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20100329081 | METHOD FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVELY EVALUATING ROTARY EARTH BORING DRILL COMPONENTS AND DETERMINING FITNESS-FOR-USE OF THE SAME - A method of non-destructively identifying and characterizing defects in a rotary drill component is provided. The method includes providing a drill component and an ultrasonic test system including a phased array ultrasonic transducer (PAUT). The method also includes acoustically coupling the PAUT to a surface location, transmitting focused ultrasonic acoustic waves at the location into the PAUT and recording a reflected acoustic response corresponding to a portion of a predetermined volume of a microstructure of the component associated with the location on the surface. The method also includes storing the response and moving one of the transducer or the component to a plurality of unique locations representative of the predetermined microstructure and repeating these steps. The method also includes processing the responses and providing an output signal to an output device configured to provide an output indicative of differences in the output signal within the predetermined volume of the microstructure. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20090260482 | MATERIALS FOR ENHANCING THE DURABILITY OF EARTH-BORING BITS, AND METHODS OF FORMING SUCH MATERIALS - An earth-boring drill bit having a bit body with a cutting component formed from a tungsten carbide composite material is disclosed. The composite material includes a binder and tungsten carbide crystals comprising sintered pellets. The composite material may be used as a hardfacing on the body and/or cutting elements, or be used to form portions or all of the body and cutting elements. The pellets may be formed with a single mode or multi-modal size distribution of the crystals. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100071960 | System, Method and Apparatus for Composite Seal Gland Insert in Roller Cone Rock Bit - A composite seal gland insert for a roller cone rock bit is a polymer composite sleeve containing one or more constituents that function to significantly lower the wear of the elastomeric seal ring. A fluid lubricant film also may be used between the elastomer seal and the gland. The outer surface of the insert is profiled to provide a sealing surface against which the elastomer seal runs. The insert is installed over the bearing pin and has a surface that engages the last machined surface of the leg. A static seal, which may comprise an additional elastomeric seal, may be used beneath the gland insert to provide a pressure seal between the insert and the pin. An adhesive also may be used as the pressure seal and also to retain the gland insert in the desired position. In addition, a mechanical anti-rotation device may be used to prevent rotation of the gland insert. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100089645 | Bit Based Formation Evaluation Using A Gamma Ray Sensor - A drill bit made according to one embodiment includes at least a gamma ray sensor configured to provide signals representative of a presence and/or amount of a naturally occurring gamma ray source when the drill bit is used for cutting into a formation. A circuit may be configured to process signals from the gamma ray sensor to provide an estimate a parameter relating to the naturally occurring gamma ray source, which may used for purposes such as optimizing drilling parameters and geosteering. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100263931 | Strength (UCS) of Carbonates Using Compressional and Shear Acoustic Velocities - Acoustic velocities measured downhole are used to predict a rock strength using results of a regression analysis that include grain size. The grain size can be obtained from drill cuttings or from NMR measurements. The determined rock strength is used in drilling operations. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110187058 | Composite Metallic Elastomeric Sealing Components for Roller Cone Drill Bits - An earth boring bit has a bit body with a depending bearing pin, a cone rotatably mounted on the bearing pin, a seal gland between the cone and the bearing pin, and a seal assembly located in the seal gland. The seal assembly includes an annular metallic spring encircling the bearing pin. The spring has a geometric center line that extends in a circle around the bearing pin. The spring is elastically deformable in radial directions relative to the center line. An elastomeric layer is located on an exterior side of the spring and is biased by the spring against a surface of the seal gland. | 08-04-2011 |
