Title: Method and apparatus for recording a digital information signal
IPC: G11B5/09
Filed: 1984-06-15
Abstract: A method of recording a digital data signal, such as an audio PCM signal, onto a recording medium in the longitudinal direction thereof, together with an apparatus which is suitable for this recording method. Even-numbered words and odd-numbered words in a digital data signal are recorded on a first track group and a second track group, respectively, which are separated from each other in the widthwise direction of a recording medium, to prevent a series of words becoming error words because of, for example, a flaw in the recording medium in the longitudinal direction thereof. The data format is changed at the input and output of a recording encoder to enable an error correction code and a recording circuit to be used in common for digital tape recorders which have different numbers of tracks, e.g., n tracks and 2n tracks. When an error correction code is recorded in such a manner that one word in the digital data signal is divided into a plurality of symbols which are formed into an error correction code, a plurality of symbols of the same word are recorded at a position at which error correlation is strong, making effective use of the error correction capacity of the error correction code.

Patent EP-0389371-A3 (EP)
Title: Method and apparatus for epithermal neutron decay logging
IPC: G01V5/10
Filed: 1990-03-22
Abstract: The nature of hydrogenous fluids filling the pore 
spaces in formations surrounding a well bore are 
determined by irradiating the formations with bursts 
of high energy neutrons and using the ratio of time-­
dependent parameters related to the decay of epither­
mal neutron populations above two different energy 
levels to provide values indicative of the kind of 
fluid present, independent of porosity. The measure­
ment above the higher of these energy levels, approxi­
mately 0.4eV, indicates the existence of hydrogenous 
fluid, water and hydrocarbons, in the formations; the 
lower threshold measurement, above approximately 
0.15eV, is indicative of the structure of the molecule 
in which the hydrogen molecule is bound and the 
porosity. A pulsed neutron generator in a sonde 
irradiates the formations with 14meV neutrons and a 
pair of detectors, one shielded by cadmium to 
establish the 0.4eV threshold energy level and the 
other, shielded by gadolinium to establish the 0.15eV 
threshold energy level, respond to epithermal neutron 
populations created by irradiation to provide count 
rate information. Time related parameters of the 
count rate information, e.g. the decay constants, 
provided by each detector are derived. The ratio of 
the respective parameters is used to identify the type 
of fluid in the formation, independent of porosity. 
The method and apparatus can determine water satura­
tion, i.e. percentage of water in the formation fluid 
and can identify specific types of hydrocarbons under 
100% hydrocarbon saturation conditions.
