Title: Method for determining resistivity anisotropy from earth electromagnetic tansient step response and electromagnetic transient peak impulse response
Inventor: HOBBS BRUCE ALAN
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2010-06-25
Abstract: A method for determining resistivity anisotropy of subsurface rock formations includes imparting a transient electromagnetic field into the subsurface rock formations.  Electromagnetic response of the formations is measured at a plurality of offsets from a position of the imparting. For each offset, an arrival time from the imparting is determined of a peak of an impulse response such that the response is related to subsurface horizontal and vertical resistivities. For each offset, a step response of the formations is determined at a time from the imparting selected such that the step response is related substantially only to mean resistivity. The arrival time of the peak of the impulse response and the late time value of the step response are used to determine the resistivity anisotropy.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a backup power system and method may include a transfer switch, connections to primary and secondary power sources, a stored energy component, and an interconnected controller with a processor and memory. The transfer switch may provide power to an external load from a selected one of the primary power source, the secondary power source, or the stored energy component. The controller may compare energy stored within the stored energy component against a first threshold relating to a maximum time necessary for the secondary power source to at least reach a predetermined minimum output level, and also to compare the stored energy level to a second threshold greater than the first threshold. The second threshold may be selected to reduce a number of on/off cycles of the secondary power source during periods of intermittent primary power fluctuation that are less severe than a prolonged loss of power.  Renewable energy sources may be used to supply energy to the stored energy component.
