    Abstract: A downhole sensor apparatus may include a structure securing a circuit board. The structure may be configured to be inserted into a recess in a tool on a drill string. The downhole sensor apparatus may include one or more sensors coupled to the circuit board and a cap over the structure. The downhole sensor apparatus may further include a data port electrically coupled to the circuit board and configured to transmit data from the sensors to an external device. The downhole sensor apparatus may include a threaded element configured to thread into complementary threads in the recess in the tool. The downhole sensor apparatus may be configured to operate in an idle condition. The downhole sensor apparatus may compare readings from at least two sensors to threshold downhole conditions and begin normal operation when the readings from the at least two sensors meet or exceed the threshold downhole conditions.

    Abstract: An earth boring tool includes a tool body and a cutting element secured to the tool body. The tool body has at least one surface defining a cutting element recess where the cutting element is secured within the cutting element recess by a braze material. The cutting element includes a generally cylindrical substrate having at least one outer surface defining a braze recess. The braze material is disposed at an interface between the cutting element and the cutting element recess, including within the braze recess of the generally cylindrical substrate. The tool body does not include a surface defining a feature on the tool body complementary to the braze recess in the generally cylindrical substrate.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an earth boring tool body including the following steps: providing a mold, the mold comprising a mold cavity defining an interior surface corresponding to an exterior shape of a tool body and a plurality of blades. Forming at least one barrier sleeve insert and disposing it adjacent the interior surface defining the mold cavity; disposing a first powder in the gap between the insert and the interior surface, disposing a second powder in the mold cavity; disposing an infiltrant material adjacent the powders; and heating the mold, thereby infiltrating the infiltrant material into the powders to form the tool body. The disclosure also includes a mold for manufacturing an earth boring tool, the mold comprising a mold cavity defining interior surfaces corresponding to an exterior shape of the tool body and the plurality of blades. Barrier sleeve inserts and/or containment sleeve inserts may be disposed adjacent interior surfaces the mold cavity.
