Drilling tool
A drilling tool includes an outer cylinder; a power rotary shaft arranged in an inner chamber of the outer cylinder; a percussion generator arranged below the power rotary shaft, having a transmission shaft extending in the outer cylinder and can be driven by the power rotary shaft to rotate around its axis, an output main shaft engaged with a lower end of the transmission shaft so as to be driven by the transmission shaft to rotate about its axis and is movable relative to the transmission shaft along an axial direction, and an percussion assembly The percussion assembly is arranged between an annulus formed between the upper end of the output main shaft and the outer cylinder and can generate reciprocating impact along the axial direction on the output main shaft. A drilling bit connected with the output main shaft extending out of the inner chamber of the outer cylinder.

System And Method For Transmitting Information in a Borehole
Systems and methods for producing controlled vibrations within a borehole. In one example, the system includes a movement mechanism and a controller. The movement mechanism is configured to enable translational movement of a first surface relative to a second surface to allow the first surface to impact the second surface to produce a plurality of beats. The frequency and amplitude of the beats may be selectively controlled by suppressing or dampening the beats. The controller is configured to selectively control an amplitude or frequency of the beats to encode information therein, where the amplitude of a beat may be selectively controlled by dampening or suppressing the impact of the first surface and the second surface.

Downhole mechanical percussive hammer drill assembly
A modular, mechanical percussive hammer assembly may be used with drill strings, wireline cable, and coiled tubing. Rotation of a splined driveshaft by downhole electric, hydraulic or mud motor rotates a downwardly-biased hammer and drill body rotatively captured within a upwardly-biased stationary anvil. A bit is carried by the drill body. The hammer contacts and rotates along a cammed control surface of the anvil as the driveshaft is rotated. Interaction between the cammed control surface and the hammer operated to create an axial impact force that is transmitted to the drill body and drill bit.

Fluid driven drilling motor
A motor assembly is disclosed that includes a vane motor coupled to an output shaft by a drive section. The drive section includes hammers that engage the output shaft to provide improved torque.
System and method for controlling linear movement using a tapered MR valve
An apparatus for controlling movement of a laterally translating component includes a first fixed housing in a fixed position with respect to a central axis and a second housing that moves linearly along the central axis. The first fixed housing and the second housing define a first and second fluid chambers interconnected by a fluid channel. The second housing moves linearly between a first position along the central axis to define a first size for the first and second fluid chambers and a second position along the central axis to define a second size for the first and second fluid chambers to control flow of the fluid through the channel. The first size is larger than the second size. The second position of the second housing limits lateral movement of the second housing more than the first position of the second housing limits the lateral movement of the second housing.

TORQUE-ADAPTIVE IMPACT TOOL SUITABLE FOR PDC BIT
A torque-adaptive impact tool suitable for a PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bit is provided, which includes a PDC bit, a rotary-driving power device, and a torque-adaptive impact tool above the PDC bit. The torque-adaptive impact tool is located between the PDC bit and the rotary-driving power device, includes an outer housing, an upper end cover, a main shaft, an elastic element, an upper impact body, and a lower impact body. In a case of a normal operation of the bit, the tool does not impact the bit, but rotates along with the rotary-driving power device for drilling. In a case that a rock-breaking torque required by the bit exceeds a driving torque, the tool impact the bit.
