Abstract: A method for managing drilling rods, drilling tools, well—tubing and the like for ground drilling, particularly for exploring deposits of fossil fuels or geothermal reservoirs. An electronic data processing system stores information regarding the inventory and the present storage location of parts to be inserted into the well, such as drilling rods, drilling pipes, lining tubing, intermediate parts, drill bits, and the like, with additional information being saved in the computing system regarding the installation position and/or installation sequence of all parts inserted into the well so that the computing system can indicate to a user when and from where which part shall be fed to the well hole—supply system and/or to what location which part shall be returned to for storage when it must be removed from the well, and/or the computing system controls an automatic storage, supply, and restorage device.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a light source (L) having associated a Printed Circuit Board, wherein said mounting arrangement includes: a housing (H) with an exit opening for light from the source (L), a reflector (R) to reflect light from the source (L) towards the opening, an at least partly transparent cover (1) to close the opening of the housing (H). The cover (1) includes a set of retaining elements (12A) for retaining the cover (1) to the housing (H), and a set of holding elements (12B) for holding the associated Printed Circuit Board (D) within the housing (H). Such configuration is capable of exerting a pressure on the reflector (R) when the cover (1) is coupled to the housing (H), and wherein the reflector (R) in turn urges the light source (L) against the housing (H), providing thus thermal coupling between the light source (L) and the housing (H).

The flex PCB (16) has connection pads (16a) for bonding with the board connection pads (12a, 14a) of the PCBs (12, 14). The connection pads (16a) in the flex PCB (16) arranged in a bridge-like fashion between the first (12) and second (14) PCBs are bonded with the connection pads (12a, 14a) of the first (12) and second (14) PCBs, so that the first (12) and second (14) PCBs are connected.
