Abstract: Aspects of this invention include methods for surveying a subterranean borehole. In one exemplary aspect, a change in borehole azimuth between first and second longitudinally spaced gravity measurement sensors may be determined directly from gravity measurements made by the sensors and a measured angular position between the sensors. The gravity measurement sensors are typically disposed to rotate freely with respect to one another about a longitudinal axis of the borehole. Gravity MWD measurements in accordance with the present invention may be advantageously made without imposing any relative rotational constraints on first and second gravity sensor sets. The present invention also advantageously provides for downhole processing of the change in azimuth between the first and second gravity sensor sets. As such, Gravity MWD measurements in accordance with this invention may be advantageously utilized in closed-loop steering control methods.

Abstract: A fibrin wound dressing is made by mixing quantities of fibrinogen solution and thrombin solution with air. The resulting foam is very light weight, and with the proper attention to the amount of thrombin, will rest on a vertical surface without dripping. The wound dressing may also be formulated for its ability to continue migration of healing substances, such as PDGF, from the dressing to the wound site. Thrombin substitutes, such as other clotting proteins, may be used instead of thrombin. The resulting foam may also be lyophilized or ground and lyophilized for later reconstitution. A therapeutic drug or other additive may also be added to the wound dressing. A fibrin foam may be made by injecting fibrinogen foam into a clotting protein, such as thrombin.
