TL;DR: In this article, a U-shaped trough with a bottom, first and second sides and an opening between the two sides is used for transmitting data through a string of downhole components.

TL;DR: An annular wire harness for use in drill pipe comprising two rings interconnected by one or more insulated conductors is described in this article, where the rings are positioned within annular grooves located within the tool joints and the conductors are fixed within grooves along the bore wall of the pipe.

TL;DR: In this article, a repeater is described as a cylindrical housing, characterized by a proximal end and a distal end, and having a substantially cylinrical wall, with a central bore passing therethrough.

TL;DR: An attack tool for working natural and man-made materials is made up of one or more segments, including a steel alloy base segment, an intermediate carbide wear protector segment, and a penetrator segment comprising a carbide substrate that is coated with a superhard material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a coaxial cable capable of communicating an electrical signal is attached to the transceiving element and extends through a central bore of the downhole tool and through the central bore through any tool intermediate the first transceiver and a second receiver.
