  • Patent number: 7555383
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying one or more targets of interest, and scheduling the tracking of at least one such target of interest employing one or more remote sensing/tracking systems. A target finder finds, describes, and provides a report concerning targets of potential interest. A target selector selects at least one target of interest from a plurality of identified targets. A plurality of remote sensing/tracking systems are operative to track the at least one target of interest. A tracking control system schedules at least one of the remote sensing/tracking systems to track the at least one target of interest based on at least one tracking parameter.

  • Patent number: 4458766
    Abstract: Hydrojet drilling means and method are presented. The method varies the angle and direction from which fluid contacts the material to be cut. The variation in angle and direction also causes the fluid to be applied to selected points and then repeatedly reapplied from different angles and directions getting the advantages of pulsed hydrojet cutting. As a result, 10,000 psi fluid streams cut as well in certain strata as prior art 50,000 psi hydrojets. The means comprises a recyclable fluid supply, means to clean the fluid stream, stringer means which may comprises as little as a cable with the associated fluid flow and power flow lines, a down hole pressure intensification means, and a drill head disposed about an axis formed by the stringer having at least three orifices disposed at equal angles about the axis. In operation, the drill head both rotates and is swung in a complex three dimensional selected series of pendulum-like arcs as the drill head is lowered.
