Abstract: A connection and support structure for sanitary devices (1), such as toilet bowls (toilets 2), bidets, urinals and sinks of the kind mounted to a support or a wall in a restroom or the like. The external surface of the sanitary device (2) is smooth and has a basically continuous convex curvature without any flanges, holes or outer protrusions or connecting means. A gasket or sealing ring (14) is provided around the edge of the sanitary device (2) facing towards the support or wall onto which the device is mounted, whereby the connecting means (4, 7) including the bolts etc. (21,22) are provided within the inner space of the device (1) such that said connecting means (4,7) and bolts etc. (21,22) are sealed off from the surroundings and no moisture can enter into the inner space of the sanitary device when the sanitary device is mounted to the wall.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented software tool that is adapted to listen continuously to data streams from a drilling operation and to process the data to generate a situation description for a current drilling situation in a form useful for automated continuous matching with a set of past cases stored in a knowledge database. The invention implements a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to match the current drilling situation as defined by the situation description with one or more stored past cases having a degree of similarity above a predetermined threshold level. Matching cases are displayed to the drilling engineer as symbols on a case “radar”, allowing the drilling engineer to retrieve and view the details of a past case and take appropriate action based on drilling advice provided within the past case.
