    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for planning a well path. An exemplary method comprises defining a proxy constraint volume as a three-dimensional (3D) cellular volume where each cell has at least one value derived from data from a 3D earth model. An initial well path is defined within user defined drilling parameter constraints. The exemplary method comprises defining acceptable constraint parameters to be applied to values derived from an intersection of the initial well path and the proxy constraint volume. If the intersection of the initial well path and the proxy constraint volume is not within the acceptable constraint parameters, the initial well path may be iteratively adjusted to create successive well paths until at least one of the successive well paths is within the acceptable constraint parameters for the values derived from the intersection of the well path and proxy constraint volume.

    Abstract: A power tool has a housing, an output member coupled to the housing, and a motor, rotational motion sensor, timer, and control circuit in the housing. The timer is initiated, and the rotational motion sensor monitors rotational motion of the housing about an axis. The control circuit determines the direction of the rotational motion of the housing, whether the direction is different from a previous direction of rotational motion of the housing, and whether a value for the timer exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the direction is different from the previous direction and the timer value is less than the predetermined threshold, the control circuit initiates a protective action for the power tool. The control circuit also drives the motor to cause the output member to rotate in a direction that corresponds to the detected rotational motion of the housing.

    Abstract: The post driver machine includes a housing, inside of which is a weight which can be lifted by a chain being rotated around a generally elliptical path by a powered sprocket. A catch mechanism is affixed to the chain, and can engage with a weight catch attached to the weight. However, when there is not a post positioned within the post driver, the weight rests at a position too low the weight catch to engage with the catch mechanism. Upon properly inserting a post into the post driver, the post presses upwardly on the weight until the weight catch engages with the catch mechanism to lift the weight.

  • Publication number: 20130140053
    Abstract: The post driver with limited movement floating post anvil does not rely heavily upon the skill of the operator to efficiently drive posts. The post anvil is allowed to move up and down in relation to the driver, but its movement is limited by both lower and upper fixed barriers. Since the movement is limited, the operator can position the driver upon the post allowing the full weight of the driver framework/carrier machine to rest upon the post. The post would push the floating post anvil upward only to the point at which the upper fixed barrier prevents further upward movement of the floating post anvil. Thus, once the floating post anvil abuts the upper fixed barrier, substantially the entire weight of the post driver is resting on the post.

  • Publication number: 20130140059
    Abstract: The present invention introduces a method and a structure for effectively generating spin currents in a metallic electric conductor. When, for example, a conductor manufactured from copper is evenly coated with a thin carbon layer, the internal direction of the magnetic axis, i.e. the spin, of the electrons acting as charge carriers can be polarized in such a way that the spins of the set of electrons align in the area of the interface between carbon and copper. This results in intensive generation of the spin current in the coated conductor. The generation of the spin current enables reduction of losses, shortening of delays relating to signal transfer and improvement of the general immunity to interferences.

    Abstract: An electro-static discharge (ESD) protection structure includes a first insulation layer (having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a through hole), a patterned conductive layer (located on the first surface), an electro-static releasing layer (located on the second surface), and a solder mask layer. At least one portion of the patterned conductive layer surrounds the through hole. The electro-static releasing layer is electrically insulated from the patterned conductive layer. At least one portion of the electro-static releasing layer is around the through hole. The solder mask layer covers the first insulation layer and a portion of the patterned conductive layer and exposes a portion of the patterned conductive layer surrounding the through hole. A multi-layered circuit board including a second insulation layer, a power supply layer, a third insulation layer and the ESD protection structure is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130140073
    Abstract: A structure and method is disclosed for a routing structure for connecting the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) electrodes of a touch-sensor panel to a touch controller while providing the requisite cross-over routing. Routing is confined to the border area of a single glass panel where there is no need for transparency. By applying the TCO electrodes to the glass surface, first, and then applying the non-conducting artwork layer above them, there is no need to extend the TCO electrodes above the glass surface and, thereby, subject these thin and brittle electrodes to mechanical stress. Instead, vias are positioned in the artwork then filled with conductive plugs. These provide the connectivity between the TCO electrodes and metal traces above them.
