  • Steering assembly position sensing using radio frequency identification
    Patent number: 10871033
    Abstract: A downhole steering assembly includes a steering element having an adjustable azimuthal orientation relative to a tool body. The downhole tool further includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader to read RFID tags arranged in an azimuthal arrangement. The downhole tool further includes an actuation mechanism that brings different RFID tags into range of the RFID reader. The downhole tool further includes a processor coupled to the RFID reader to determine an azimuthal orientation of the steering element and to responsively control the actuation mechanism.
    Type: Grant

  • Drilling shaft deflection device
    Patent number: 10041303
    Abstract: Drilling shaft deflection device (750) for establishing a deflection angle and azimuthal toolface direction of a drill bit (22) in a rotary steerable subterranean drill (20). The drilling shaft deflection device (750) includes a drilling shaft (24) rotatably supported in a housing (46) and a drilling shaft deflection assembly (92) contained within the housing (46) that transitions the drilling shaft (24) between deflected and undeflected configurations. The deflection device (750) further contains a pair of drive motors (760a, 760b) anchored to the housing (46) and respectively interconnected to eccentric ring actuators (156, 158) for deflecting and rotating the shaft (24).
