  • Patent number: 10263856
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to techniques for providing a visualization of connectivity between components in a computer network. One embodiment provides a method which includes receiving a configuration of a network comprising a plurality of components within a physical layer and a virtual layer. The method also includes generating a resource diagram identifying connections that are accessible among the components of the physical layer and components of the virtual layer. The method further includes, upon receiving a selection of one of the components, determining a subset of the plurality of components that are connected to the selected component, and altering the resource diagram to provide a visualization, within the resource diagram, of the connections between the selected component and the determined subset of the plurality of components.

  • Publication number: 20180291689
    Abstract: A drill bit includes a cone section, a blade flank section, a blade shoulder section, and a plurality of blades connected to the bit body and extending away from the bit body. At least one cutting element is positioned on at least one of the plurality of blades. In addition, a plurality of thermally stable polycrystalline cutters is positioned on at least one of the plurality of blades in at least one of the cone section, the blade flank section, and the blade shoulder section of the at least one of the plurality of blades. The thermally stable polycrystalline cutters include a cutting edge that defines a line, wherein the line is substantially parallel to a tangent line of a radius line that extends from a center of the drill bit to the cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 9422771
    Abstract: A drill bit assembly for boring including a drill bit and a bit sub. A front bit end has a plurality cutting elements at a forward face of the front bit end and a first fluid return passage extending through the drill bit to a rear bit end. The bit sub couples to the rear bit end. The bit sub includes a bore disposed at a front sub end sized and shaped to receive the rear bit end of the drill bit. A plurality of legs extends from a mid-sub region toward the front sub end between pairs of cutting elements. The plurality of legs has a fluid delivery passage disposed therein with the fluid delivery passage extending from the plurality of legs to a rear sub bit end. The bit sub has a second fluid return passage connecting the first fluid return passage to the rear sub bit end.

  • Patent number: 8839886
    Abstract: A drill bit configured for boring holes or wells into the earth include a plurality of blades configured with a recessed center such that the blades cut a core therebetween. Cutting elements in the recessed center are configured to cut and remove the core. The recessed center has a first diameter at a height from the cutting elements in the recessed center and a second diameter smaller than the first diameter such that the confining stress on the core is relieved prior to being cut by the cutting elements in the recessed center.
