  • Patent number: 4370814
    Abstract: A well tool for detecting well bore deviation which includes a tool adapted to be connected between adjacent components of a drill string, including a longitudinal opening through which drilling fluid can be circulated. At least one vent hole is located in the tool wall for communicating the longitudinal opening with the space outside the tool through which drilling fluid is circulated back to the surface, the vent hole being selectively blocked and unblocked. The angle the tool has deviated from vertical is measured and the vent is unblocked at a time interval after weight is placed on the bit which is determined by the amount of deviation of the tool, the unblocking of the vent causing a pressure drop in the drilling fluid in the tool the timing of which indicates the amount of deviation.

  • Patent number: 4181215
    Abstract: Gravity type carrier mechanism for baking pans and the like comprising a chain conveyor system and stationary and rotary cams suitable to produce one hundred and eighty degree pan turnover. The pans comprise individual gravity suspension systems wherein pan suspension pins are arranged to travel within vertically oriented slots in the pans whereby the center of gravity of each pan is automatically varied during turnover by interaction of the stationary and rotary cams upon the pins as the conveyor transports the pans.
