| 20100206064 | Casing Inspection Logging Tool - An instrument assembly for a well casing inspection tool, comprising a main shaft having an extension shaft extending therefrom. An instrument head is supported on bearings proximate one end of the main shaft. The rotating instrument head, which includes sensors for measuring wall thickness and caliper of the well casing, provides continuous 360 degree scanning of the interior of the well casing to obtain detailed measurements of the well casing. A motor drives the rotating instrument head through a gear train. A mandrel supported by the main shaft includes exciter coils for wall thickness, caliper, and permeability measurements. A capacitive slip ring couples signals between the rotating instrument head and stationary circuits in the instrument assembly. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20090326540 | Chuck for Reciprocating Surgical Instrument - Devices are described relating to the retaining of surgical tools within the chuck of a reciprocating surgical instrument, such as a reciprocating saw. A securing chuck is disclosed for securing a surgical tool to a reciprocating surgical instrument that comprises a shaft and a securing member. The shaft defines an axis and has a cylindrical bore extending along the axis. The bore is shaped to receive a substantially rounded tool shank. A pair of transverse slots extends into the shaft along a plane passing through the axis for receiving a substantially flattened tool shank. The transverse slots intersect with the cylindrical bore. The securing member is carried by the shaft and is radially movable relative to the bore both inwardly and outwardly to secure the surgical tool in the chuck. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20080257546 | Autonomous Downhole Control Methods and Devices - Autonomous control of a wellbore tool is provided by programming a memory module of a processor with a database having data relating to a selected parameter of interest; conveying a sensor and the processor along the wellbore; and activating the wellbore tool if the processor determines that a measurement provided by the sensor correlates with the database data. The processor may correlate the sensor measurements with a predetermined pattern associated with the data, a preset value, and/or a preset range of values. Well tool activation may occur when the processor finds: a substantial match between a predetermined pattern and at least one measured value; a present value and at least one measured value, and/or a preset range of values and at least one measured range of values. Also, activating the well tool may occur only if a measurement from a second sensor meets a preset criteria. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090044618 | GRAVITATIONAL METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING TRUE VERTICAL DEPTH IN A BOREHOLE - A method for measuring true vertical depth in a borehole, the method including: measuring gravitational acceleration in the borehole; and determining the true vertical depth from the measurement. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090126486 | ORIENTATION INDEPENDENT GRAVITY SENSOR - An instrument for measuring gravitational acceleration, the instrument including: a plurality of accelerometers disposed about a three-dimensional structure, the plurality of accelerometers providing output used for measuring the gravitational acceleration; wherein each accelerometer in the plurality is implemented by at least one of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) and a nano-electromechanical system (NEMS). | 05-21-2009 |
