ABSTRACT DOWNHOLE DRILLING TOOL SYSTEM In one broad aspect, the invention provides a method of receiv- ing instructions for an implement, for example, a drill string stabiliser, mounted on a drill string, which instructions are transmitted by varying the rate of flow of, or pressure exert- ed by, the fluid in the bore of the drill string in accordance with one of a plurality of predetermined sequences; the method comprising the steps of :- a) monitoring variations in the rate of flow of, or pressure exerted by, the fluid in the drill string; b) comparing the sequence of monitored variations with a plurality of predetermined sequences, each predetermined sequence corresponding to a set of instructions for the implement; and c) either i) ignoring the variations if they do not correspond to a predetermined sequence, or ii) if the variations do correspond to a predetermined sequence, executing the instructions which correspond to that sequence. In another broad aspect, the invention provides a drill string stabiliser comprising a mandrel, slidably mounted within an outer casing; one or more pads movable between a retracted position and one or more extended positions; means monitoring the rate of flow of, or pressure exerted by, the fluid in the drill string in use; and means which, when activated, -2- seal the stabiliser to restrict or prevent the flow of fluid through it; the arrangement being such that, with the sealing means activated, the exertion of a predetermined amount of pressure by the fluid causes the mandrel to slide within the casing, and the pad or pads to consequently extend.
