| 20110275465 | Tensioning Device - A tensioning device is provided to aid in the maintenance and replacement of a drive member of a drive system. The tensioning device operates to maintain tension in the drive member during prolonged use of the drive system through a biased roller that receives and guides the drive member and adapts continuously to maintain tension as the drive member changes properties through use. The tensioning device further operates to ease the replacement of the drive member by being rotatable against the bias to provide slack within the drive member, such that the drive member may be removed from the belt drive system. The tensioning device includes an arm and a base, with the arm being capable of limited rotation about the base. The arm includes the roller for guiding the drive member and is biased in one direction to maintain tension within the drive member. The arm may be rotated against the bias towards an engaged position wherein the arm is restricted from counter rotation in the direction of the bias. While in (or substantially in) the engaged position, slack is introduced within the drive member such that the drive member may be removed. When a new or refurbished drive member has been replaced to the drive system, a further rotation of the arm disengages the arm from its restriction and is biased back towards a position of tension wherein the roller re-engages with the drive member to ensure tension in the belt drive system. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20110278073 | DRILL BIT - A fixed cutter drill bit having a bit axis and a gauge diameter. The drill bit includes a bit body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of blades extending from the distal end toward the proximal end. The blades define a cutting profile between the bit axis and the gauge diameter. The drill bit further includes a plurality of cutters attached to the blades in a cutter layout. The cutter layout may include a balanced cutter pattern extending from the bit axis toward the gauge diameter. The cutter layout may include one or more sets of shared cutters, wherein each set of shared cutters includes a trailing shared cutter and a leading shared cutter. The blades may define pairs of makeup surfaces and breaker surfaces. The drill bit may include a breaker upset for engaging with a device for supporting the drill bit. | 11-17-2011 |
