Abstract: A method includes introducing a tool string into a wellbore having annular material disposed in an annulus defined between casing and the wellbore. Obtaining acoustic refracted waveform measurements of the annular material from a cement bond logging tool, obtaining ultrasonic measurements of the annular material from a circumferential acoustic scanning tool, obtaining gamma radiation measurements scattered from the annular material from a spectral density logging tool, and obtaining thermal neutron radiation measurements scattered from the annular material from a dual spaced neutron logging tool. Obtained measurements may then be collected and computed with a computer and a deliverable is generated that includes one or more cross plots providing a compositional equivalent of the annular material.

Abstract: An elastomeric bearing configured for use in a rotor blade assembly is provided including an inner race, and an outer race. An outer damper portion is arranged adjacent the outer race and an inner snubber portion is arranged adjacent the inner race. A rigid transition layer is disposed between the outer damper portion and the inner snubber portion. The rigid transition layer has a generally circular cross-section except at a segment which has been removed and which defines a generally planar surface at a chord of the segment. The generally planar surface is configured to contact a surface of an adjacent component.

Abstract: An ice fishing tackle storage apparatus that includes a pair of elongate shells, the elongate shells each having an interior surface that defines an elongate cavity, and ice fishing tackle capable of being positioned within the elongate cavity of each elongate shell, a first spacing component, the pair of elongate shells each secured by the first spacing component, and a second spacing component, the at least one of the elongate shells secured by the second spacing component, the second spacing component spaced apart from the first spacing component.

Abstract: Systems and methods for downhole formation testing based on the use of one or more elongated sealing pads capable of sealing off and collecting or injecting fluids from elongated portions along the surface of a borehole. The modified sealing pads increase the flow area by collecting fluids from an extended portion along the surface of a borehole, which is likely to straddle one or more layers in laminated or fractured formations. A tester device using the elongated sealing pads can be deployed and withdrawn using an extendible element pressing the pads to the borehole. Various designs and arrangements for use with a fluid tester, which may be part of a modular fluid tool, are disclosed in accordance with different embodiments.
