Abstract: A well logging system monitors the flow rate of a fluid flowing in a borehole traversing an earth formation. A transmitter (23) located in a sonde (18) transmits acoustic waves into the fluid at a predetermined frequency. A receiver (33) also located in the sonde receives reflected acoustic waves and provides a signal representative of the received reflected acoustic waves. The signal is processed and sent uphole by way of a cable (52). Electronics at the surface include circuitry (60) which derives the velocity of the fluid in accordance with the frequency of the processed signal and the predetermined frequency. The circuitry provides an output signal representative of the derived velocity of the fluid flowing in the borehole.

Abstract: A method for detecting a specific polynucleotide sequence in a material is disclosed. The method includes exposing said material to an oligonucleotide primer having a sequence complementary to part of said specific polynucleotide sequence wherein said primer binds to part of said polynucleotide sequence when present in said material. Primer bound to the polynucleotide sequence is extended wherein any extended primer includes a detectable element and/or a separation element. Any extended primer is then separated into a fraction wherein said fraction does not have detectable element not included in said extended primer. One then determines whether any extended primer is present in said fraction by assaying said fraction for said extended primer wherein the presence of said extended primer is indicative of the presence of the specific polynucleotide sequence in said material and the absence of said extended primer in said fraction is indicative of the absence of the specific polynucleotide sequence in said material.
