20110094734 | DOWNHOLE TOOL - A means of investigating the quality and/or nature of perforations in a downhole environment is disclosed. A ‘pecking’ finger and depth measuring probe that can be axially and radially displaced enables the perforation to be located and its depth determined, through sequentially pecking around the wall lining in patterns such as radial, axial, and spiral sequences. By swinging a pecking finger that supports a depth measuring probe or cable with a bullet or conically shaped tip and measuring the displacement of the finger, the edge and centre of the hole can be determined with the largest displacement being when the tip is fully in the hole. When this position has been determined, the depth measuring cable is deployed and the depth of the perforation can be established by both an increase in the force required to push the cable and by the displacement of the pecking finger as it is pushed back by the reaction forces on the cable. Thus, a downhole tool comprises a elongate housing for insertion into a downhole environment, from which a probe extends radially by a variable amount, means for driving the probe in a radial direction, and means for sensing resistance to outward radial movement of the probe. One or more radially extendable clamps can be provided for fixing the tool within a surrounding bore. These can be at the upper and/or lower ends of the tool. Ideally, they are moveable between an extended and a retracted position by interengagement with a member moveable relative to a remainder of the tool in a direction that is longitudinal relative to the tool. The member can be, for example, a sleeve extending longitudinally around the tool, the sleeve being moveable longitudinally along the tool. These clamps could be used to fix other types of tool in place in a downhole environment, or one similar to a downhole environment. | 04-28-2011 |

20080196296 | Fruit-Shaped Fruit Fly Trap - A fruit fly trap whose exterior shape represents a piece of fruit such as an apple, orange, banana or the like. The trap housing includes a bottom base portion and a top cover portion. The cover contains various holes through which fruit flies can gain access to the interior of the trap. The trap also includes a locking mechanism for securing the base and cover together. Located inside the trap is a natural product attractant stored within the interior of the trap. The construction of the trap is such that the liquid or powder attractant is retained inside the trap so it will not spill out. Also, a disabling adhesive is located on a glueboard insert and/or on the interior walls of the trap. Thus, when fruit flies enter the trap they will get caught in the adhesive or simply die because they cannot escape. | 08-21-2008 |
