When eGestalt of Santa Clara, CA, announced in November they were launching a cloud-based security and compliance solution, it set the stage to change the way enterprise businesses could cope with complex compliance and security issues.
The solution, powered by Rapid7 scanning technology, was to deliver a "pure" cloud-based IT security monitoring and compliance management product that worked in real time without requiring any hardware, "a first of its kind solution," say the vendors.
Called Aegify, the technology delivers Security Posture Management (SPM), which first measures the security status of all assets within a network, then delivers a report that can be used to remediate problems, strengthen security, and create and manage compliance policies. It leverages the compliance and security engine of eGestalt's SecureGRC (governance, risk management and compliance) product with Rapid7's Nexpose vulnerability management technology.
Aegify uses a patent-pending expert systems technology from eGestalt to automatically map the security vulnerabilities to compliance mandates, thereby automating the task of security posture management and compliance management, which is manually done today. The tool can import data from other standard vulnerability scanners in the industry as well.
The advantage of using a cloud-based solution to perform this type of sophisticated network diagnoses is a vast reduction in complexity and time, said Anupam Sahai, President of eGestalt.
"Currently, you do this with on-site hardware," Sahai explained. "You run a scan and get a report. Then the IT person has to study it and perform the needed remediation. That takes time, and then once this is performed the network settings change" and you can fall back out of compliance and into a weakened security state all over again.
With a cloud-based solution like Aegify, scanning and remediation can be run in perpetuity, and IT administrators can "see results on the fly," said Sahai. The cloud solution does the work, and you get SPM and/or the compliance posture in real time, or you can schedule it.
"You don't need specialized IT resources to understand and interpret the results or have to deal with remediation," Sahai explained.
The combined solution from eGestalt and Rapid7 performs a massive amount of work, combining asset discovery with vulnerability analysis and compliance mandates. This gives even the largest company an easy way to identify exactly what they have operating in their network, check the level of their exposure to a potential threat, and make any adjustments that have them falling out of compliance. It can identify 28,000 vulnerabilities and perform over 85,000 checks across physical and virtual networks.
"It's a completely multi-tenant solution," said Sahai, who adds that the cloud-based approach and the integration of the security, compliance, and scanning system in Aegify solves the cumbersome, time consuming and inefficient method of approaching the task with separate, siloed applications that don't communicate well with one another.
Aegify will be marketed to the customer and partner bases of both eGestalt and Rapid7. Sheldon Malm, senior director of Strategic Partners and Alliances at Rapid7, said the alliance creates "a very complementary offering that will benefit our joint customers."
On the compliance side, Aegify covers practically every industry that falls under compliance regulations. The cloud solution can control and manage compliance across more than 400 regulations, from the commonly known ones such as PCI, HIPAA/HITECH, SOX, FISMA, and GLBA, to compliance rules from other countries outside the U.S.
An added advantage of Aegify being a cloud solution is that an IT reseller or consultant can manage it remotely for customers and present the reporting wrapped with upsell and cross-sell offerings. And Aegify can be white-labeled with a reseller's or consultant's own branding, said Sahai.
Public cloud services like Aegify are predicted to grow five times faster than traditional on-premise IT, at a growth rate of 19 percent through 2015, according to a study by MarketBridge. The reason for this growth is multi-faceted. The simplicity that cloud computing offers by moving the complexity away from the customer also means customers no longer have to maintain upgrades or version enhancements. The capital expense of purchasing additional server or storage capacity is also greatly reduced with a cloud-based service.
Still, traditional legacy IT networks dominate the computing landscape, which is why Aegify is such an effective solution for reaching out to these networks and keeping them secure and in compliance. In a press release, Bryan Britz, a research director at Gartner, said a mixture of cloud solutions and traditional networks "will permeate most organizations in the coming years."
Sahai of eGestalt agrees and pointed out that a residual effect of Aegify is helping preserve the investment a company has in its traditional IT network.
"Many customers claim they have no security or compliance issues," Sahai said, adding that this makes Aegify community edition, a free tool downloadable from the web (www.egestalt.com), a conversation starter with customers - a conversation that can lead to the purchase of traditional network equipment, or more cloud services.
"We are solving a number of problems by making networks cheaper, better, and more effective by delivering it to the cloud," he said.

1. Field of Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to vibrating tools in general, and in particular to a method and apparatus for vibrating a downhole tool in a drill string.
2. Description of Related Art
In the field of drilling, friction may frequently impair the ability of the drill string to be advanced within the hole. For example, highly deviated holes or horizontal drilling cannot rely on the weight of the drill pipe alone to overcome friction from the horizontal pipe resting against the wall of the hole.
Conventional vibration tools have alternatingly increased the pressure of the drilling fluid within the drill string by cyclically blocking and unblocking the flow of the drilling fluid within the drill string. Such devices accordingly cyclically increase the pressure of the drilling fluid within the drill string and then release it. Such devices disadvantageously require a high supply pressure over and above the supply pressure for the drilling fluid. This increases cost and complexity of the machinery required to support this operation. In addition, many conventional vibration tools involve complex downhole systems and devices which may be more prone to breakage.
Many such conventional vibration tools also create backpressure in the drilling fluid supply. This has the negative consequences of requiring supply pumps of greater capacity and also reduces the supply pressure to the drilling bit. Still other apparatuses have utilized blunt mechanical impacts which increases the wear life and the complexity of the design.
According to a first embodiment there is disclosed a method of vibrating a downhole drill string. The method comprises pumping a drilling fluid down the drill string and cyclically venting the drilling fluid through a valve in a side wall of the drilling string so as to cyclically reduce the pressure of the drilling fluid in the drill string.
The method may further comprise rotating a rotor within a tubular body located in-line within the drill string wherein the venting comprises intermittently passing the drilling fluid through a rotor port in the rotor and a corresponding tubular body port in the tubular body. The rotor may be rotated by the drilling fluid.
The method may further comprise separating the drilling fluid into a central bypass portion and an annular rotor portion, passing the bypass portion past the rotor and rotating the rotor with the rotor portion. The bypass portion and the rotor portion may be combined after the rotor portion rotates the rotor wherein the rotor port and the tubular port pass the combined rotor portion and the bypass portion therethrough.
According to a further embodiment there is disclosed an apparatus for vibrating a downhole drill string. The drill string is operable to have a drilling fluid pumped therethrough. The apparatus comprises a tubular body securable to the drill string and having a central bore therethrough, a valve in the tubular body for venting the drilling fluid out of the drill string and a valve actuator for cyclically opening and closing the valve.
The valve may comprise a radial tubular body port in the tubular body and a rotor located within the central bore having a radial rotor port wherein the rotor port is selectably alignable with the tubular body port as the rotor rotates within the central bore. The valve actuator may comprise at least one vane on the rotor for rotating the rotor as the drilling fluid flows therepast. The rotor may include a central bypass bore therethrough and a plurality of vanes radially arranged around the central bypass bore.
The apparatus may further comprise a separator for separating the drilling fluid into a bypass portion and a rotor portion secured within the central bore, the rotor portion being directed onto the plurality of vanes so as to rotate the rotor, the bypass portion being directed though the bypass bore of the rotor. The separator may include a central bypass port and an annular rotor passage therearound. The separator may be located adjacent to the rotor such that the central bypass port of the separator directs the bypass portion of the drilling fluid though the bypass bore of the rotor and wherein the rotor passage of the separator directs the rotor portion of the drilling fluid onto the plurality of vanes of the rotor. The rotor passage of the separator may include stator vanes for directing the rotor portion of the drilling fluid onto the plurality of vanes.
The apparatus may further comprise a plurality of rotor ports selectably alignable with a plurality of tubular body ports. Each of the plurality of rotor ports may be selectably alignable with a unique tubular body port.
The tubular body may be connectable inline within a drill string. The tubular body may include threaded end connectors for linear connection within a drill string.
The bypass port of the separator may include an inlet shaped to receive a blocking body so as to selectably direct more drilling fluid through the rotor passage. The inlet may have a substantially spherical shape so as to receive a spherical blocking body.
Other aspects and features of the present invention will become apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art upon review of the following description of specific embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying figures.
In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention wherein similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in each view,
Referring to

As illustrated the tubular body port insert 44 may be threadably secured within the wall 31 or by any other suitable means, such as by way of non-limiting example, compression fit, latches, retaining clips or the like. As illustrated, the tubular body port 42 may have a throttling cross section such that the tubular body port 42 is wider proximate to the interior surface 32 of the tubular body than proximate to the exterior surface 34. The use of a throttling cross section will assist in controlling the volume of drilling fluid vented therethrough. The tubular body port insert 44 may be sealed to the tubular body 30 with an o-ring to prevent washout and backed with a snap ring to prevent the tubular body port insert 44 from backing out.
The inlet and outlet ends 36 and 38 of the tubular body 30 may include interior and exterior threading 46 and 48, respectively, for securing the tubular body in-line with the drill string 10. It will be appreciated that the interior and exterior threading 46 and 48 will be of a conventional type, such as a pin/box type to facilitate ready connection with the drill string 10. The tubular body 30 is of steel construction and is surface hardened for durability and abrasion resistance.
The flow separator 60 comprises a disk shaped body having a central bypass passage 62 and a plurality of rotor passages 64 distributed radially around the bypass passage. The flow separator 60 is sized to be located within the central bore 40 of the tubular body as illustrated in
With reference to
The apparatus 20 may be assembled by rotatably locating the rotor 80 and fixably locating the fluid separator 60 within central bore 40 of the tubular body. The rotor is located such that the rotor port 102 is alignable with the tubular body port 42 and the flow separator 60 is located adjacent to the inlet section of the rotor 80. The rotor passages 64 of the separator direct drilling fluid into the rotor passage 92 of the rotor while the bypass passage 62 of the flow separator 60 directs a bypass portion of the drilling fluid through the bypass passage 94 of the rotor. The rotor portion of the drilling fluid passed through the rotor passage 92 of the rotor will encounter the vanes 98 thereby causing the rotor to rotate. As the rotor 80 rotates within the tubular body 30, the rotor port 102 will be intermittently aligned with the tubular body port 42 so as to intermittently jet a portion of drilling fluid therethrough. Each ejection of drilling fluid through the rotor port 102 and tubular body port 42 causes a reduction of the pressure of the drilling fluid within the drill string and a corresponding low pressure wave through such drilling fluid. The intermittent ejection of the drilling fluid will create a resonant frequency to be established within the drilling fluid from the multiple low pressure pulses. The multiple pulses causes a vibration to be transmitted from the drilling fluid to the drill string 10 so as to vibrate the drill string 10 within the bore hole 8.
With reference to
As described above, the flow separator 60 is a flow distributing device which directs a prescribed amount of drilling fluid flow through to the vanes 98 of the rotor 80. As illustrated in
The rotor 80 is designed to spin at a set rotational speed. To achieve this, the rotor is designed to be free spinning and rotate at its runaway speed. As the flow enters the rotor 80 through the rotor passage 92 and is then directed onto the vanes 98. The angle of the vanes 98 determine the runaway speed of the turbine for a given flow rate. Closing the bypass passage 94 entirely (i.e. sending all available flow through the rotor passage 92) will allow the rotor to maintain its intended rotational speed should the flow rate be reduced by 50%. As the rotor 80 rotates, drilling fluid is jetted through the rotor port 102 and the tubular body port 42 once per revolution when the rotor port and tubular body port are aligned. As illustrated in
The width of the rotor port 102 determines the duration of the jetting event and can be varied depending on the demands of the application. The diameter of the tubular body port 42 may also be sized to vary the volume of drilling fluid ejected during a jetting event and thereby to vary the impulse delivered to the apparatus 20 by that jetting event. Although one tubular body port 42 is illustrated, it will be appreciated that a plurality of tubular body ports 42 may be utilized. Such plurality of tubular body ports 42 may be located to jet drilling fluid at a common or a different time as desired by the user. Furthermore, the plurality of tubular body ports 42 may be located at different lengthwise locations along the tubular body 30. The rotor port 102 may therefore have a variable width from the top to the bottom such that when a specific tubular body port 42 is selected, the apparatus 20 will have a jetting event length corresponding to the width of the rotor port 102 at that location. All other tubular body ports 42 will therefore be plugged. In other embodiments, a plurality of rotor ports 102 may be utilized each having a unique length and a corresponding tubular body port 42 to produce a jetting event of a desired duration.
With reference to
With reference to
The apparatus 20 creates pressure fluctuations that induce vibration in a drill string 10 and create a time varying WOB (weight on bit) with a cycling frequency of approximately 15-20 Hz (the natural frequency of the drill string). This vibration or hammering effect reduces wall friction and improves the transfer of force on to the drill bit. The rotor port 102 and the tubular body port 42 function as a valve that is cyclically opened and closed by the rotation of the rotor. It will be appreciated that such a valve function may be provided in another means for venting the drilling fluid from the drill string such as through the use of common valves as known in the art. It will also be appreciated that the tubular body port 42 may be selectably opened by a wide variety of methods. By way of non-limiting example, the tubular body port 42 may be cyclically opened by a solenoid valve or other suitable means or through the use of a motor for rotating the rotor 80. It will be appreciated that in such embodiments, the flow separator 60 and rotor 80 will not be necessary.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, such embodiments should be considered illustrative of the invention only and not as limiting the invention as construed in accordance with the accompanying claims.

The Commission -- a healthcare system watchdog group -- recommended that pharmacists become more involved in mental health patient care, and management improve its treatment of patients, calling its findings "concerning."
"Managing medicines safely, effectively and efficiently is central to the delivery of high quality care that is focused on the patient and gives value for money," said Healthcare Commission CEO Anna Walker.
Walker appealed to primary care trusts and mental health trusts (public-run health facilities) to re-examine their management of patient medications. Mental health patients in trusts also told the Commission they were not involved in their own medication decisions as much as they would like, Walker said.
"This needs to be addressed if trusts expect service users to take their medicines as prescribed," she said.
The Commission's report found that when pharmacists reviewed patients' medications, 70 percent of cases resulted in a change in the patient's medication, while 46 percent of patients whose medication was reviewed were found to be taking their doses improperly.
The report also found that while 14 percent of patients in acute trusts were not visited by pharmacy staff members, 24 percent of mental health trust patients received no visits. In addition, 64 percent of acute trust patients visited with pharmacy workers more than five hours per week, compared to 14 percent of mental health trust patients.
Professor Louis Appleby, National Clinical Director for Mental Health, said safe and effective medicine management is vital to proper mental health patient care.
"This report will help services address a very important issue and ensure that patients are fully involved in decisions about -- and get the most from -- their medicines," he said. "We are not complacent and more work is needed to ensure that all Trusts reach the standards of the best."
