Abstract: A refacing tool includes a feed assembly that holds a first set of cutters positioned for refacing the inner shoulder of a pin or box end of a tubular and a second set of cutters positioned for refacing the outer shoulder of the pin or box end. The axial spacing between the first set of cutters and the second set of cutters is fixed and determined by the geometry of the feed assembly. The refacing tool can simultaneously reface the inner shoulder and the outer shoulder, as well as chamfers.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for sampling a partial response input signal including a signal sampler for generating a sampled digital signal representation of a sampled analog signal in response to a sample-time control signal, and a timing error detector having an input port receiving the digital signal and generating a timing error control signal at an output port. The timing error control signal is a function of the non-return to zero (NRZ) sequence which was originally recorded or otherwise transmitted or communicated, the synchronous sampled data value, the estimated ideal partial response sample value, and the timing error estimate. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) receives the timing error control signal and generates the sample time control signal. Several multi-level data estimators are described.
