Abstract: A method and related apparatus for telemetry between downhole devices and surface devices. In particular, the methods and related apparatus may send a first datum of a first parameter in an uncompressed form, and send a second datum of the first parameter in compressed form.

Abstract: A method of applying photo-luminescent pigment to a substrate, such as an aluminum or metal strip containing channels or depressions, includes preparing a dry powder formulation comprising a photo-luminescent pigment and a carrier/fixer, depositing the dry powder formulation onto the substrate surface, and heating to fuse the dry powder formulation to the substrate surface. The photo-luminescent pigment can be applied using an apparatus which includes a hopper adapted to contain the dry powder formulation, one or more orifices adapted to allow transfer of the dry powder formulation from the hopper to a substrate surface and a guide rail system for locating the substrate surface in both a fixed horizontal plane and a fixed vertical plane below the hopper and orifice.

Abstract: There is provided architectural molding apparatus including a supporting frame assembly and a paper roll assembly which delivers a continuous paper web via tension and drive rollers to an adhesive applicator where hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive is deposited on the web. The glue coated paper web passes over roller to a profiled polystyrene core at a set-up roller assembly. The core is delivered by a core feed assembly which is adapted to receive lengths of the core in abutting relation. The set-up roller assembly receives the core and urges the paper web glue side first into the core to form the molding assembly which passes to a laminating roller assembly adapted to urge the glue covered web into intimate contact with the profile face of the core. The molding assembly then passes to a series of rollers adapted to progressively fold and roll the web to completely wrap the core.
