Patent number: 8197165Abstract: A fastening device for fastening a movable element to a structure includes a support member and at least one belt retractor having a retractable belt and a fitting. The belt retractor may be fastened to a support member. The belt retractor is arranged in such a way that, if the fitting couples the structure and the movable element, the retractor prevents unrolling of the belt by more than a predefinable range if an external force, such as sudden mid-air turbulence acts on the movable element. Thus, the movable element is secured.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Airbus Deutschland GmbHInventors: Andreas Hartmann, Hans-Gerhard Giesa, Thomas Rathmann-Ramlow

Patent number: 7823658Abstract: Borehole images obtained with MWD measurements have a mismatch with subsequent images obtained when measurements are repeated over the same depth interval after the drillstring has been raised up. The difference is attributable to stretch of the drillstring. This can be estimated by correlating the two images. The difference can also be estimated by monitoring drilling conditions such as RPM, WOB and torque on reentry.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2008Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Andreas Hartmann, Christian Fulda, Dmitriy Dashevskiy, Stephan Dankers
