Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes monitoring, by a computing device, data measurements associated with a bottom hole assembly (BHA), and detecting, by the computing device, a plurality of possible tight instances. An individual possible tight spot instance is detected based on a data measurement satisfying a threshold. The method also includes determining, by the computing device, information identifying respective probe depths of a plurality of probes incorporated by the BHA for the individual possible tight spot instance, storing, by the computing device and in a table, the information identifying the respective probe depths for each possible tight spot instance, generating, by the computing device, a profile identifying tight spot depths based on information stored in the table; and executing, by the computing device, a mitigating instruction based on the profile to mitigate the presence of the identified tight spot depths.

Abstract: Measuring assembly with a measuring apparatus and a recognition system, and recognition method to detect the correct positioning of a removable device such as a comparator to check the shape and/or dimensions of a mechanical part with respect to a stationary part that includes at least one mechanical reference for the removable device. The system comprises a field source disposed in the stationary part that generates a field and a matching element disposed on the removable device that is able to alter the propagation of this field if correctly positioned relative to the field source. A sensor fixed to the stationary part in an appropriate position detects or not the field and generates a resulting detection signal detection or non-detection signal. A processing unit receives the signal generated by the sensor and on the basis of this provides information about the correct or incorrect positioning of the removable device with respect to the stationary part. The recognition system can be of the magnetic or optical type.

Abstract: A probe includes a movable plate to which a stylus capable of contacting a measurable object is mounted, the movable plate displaceable in an X direction; a static plate arranged to overlap with the movable plate; a counter plate facing the movable plate and the static plate; an elastic movable side connection plate, the movable side connection plate connecting the counter plate at at least three places with each of a first end connector positioned toward a first end of the movable plate in the X direction and second end connectors positioned toward a second end in the X direction; and a static side connection plate which connects the static plate and the counter plate. An entire length of the first end connector in a Y direction orthogonal to the X direction is the same size as the entire length of the second end connectors in the Y direction.

Abstract: A measuring device includes a housing and a caliper positioned inside the housing. The housing has a proximal end and a distal end and defines an axis from the proximal end to the distal end. The caliper includes a first measurement probe extending out of the housing in a first direction, a second measurement probe adjustably coupled to the first measurement probe, the second measurement probe extending out of the housing in a second direction that is substantially opposite of the first direction, and measurement circuitry configured for transmitting a measurement signal based on the relative positions of the first and second measurement probes.

Abstract: A system for checking size and/or position of an edge (5, R, T) of a workpiece (1, 1R, 1T) comprises two checking elements including matching elements (6, 7; 16, 17) which comprise respective surfaces having tapered matching zones (8, 9) adapted to cooperate with the edge (5, R, T) of the workpiece (1, 1R, 1T) along a longitudinal direction, and a transducer element (11) that provides electrical signals (M, M6, M7) indicative of the cooperation between the matching zones and the edge. The matching zones define slope angles (α, β) with respect to the longitudinal direction that are different from each other. A method that uses such a system for checking includes bringing the matching elements in a checking condition in which the respective matching zone cooperates with the edge to be checked, detecting the electrical signals provided by the transducer element, and processing such signals with reference signals indicative of the cooperation between each matching zone and a reference edge. System and method can be advantageously applied in checking the diameter of an edge of a valve seat (2).
