Inventor: BUNKS CAREY D
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 1998-06-15
Abstract: A method for reducing the time, cost and apparatus required for monitoring the geometry of the oil/water, oil/gas, or gas/water interface in an underground reservoir. By strategically placing sources (30) and sensors (44), and by fixing the sensors (44) to the solid earth surface beneath the water (28), and by knowing the velocity fields in the overburden, the changing edges (26) and geometry of the oil may be determined with significantly reduced data gathering. The strategic positions of the sources (30) and receivers are determined by referencing to the known geometry from past surveys. In addition the velocity of the overburden is known by these prior surveys. In addition, higher resolution of reflectivity areas is achieved by use of sound sources (30) capable of generating higher frequencies compensated for the earth's attenuation and by utilizing long integration times to improve signal to noise ratio. These sound sources (30) can be smaller than prior art sources since they provide directed beams of narrower widths. Smaller computers may be used for analyzing the reduced data collected.

Patent CA-2312754-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPICER VICTOR L
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for selective collision-induced dissociation of a substance, by resonance excitation of ions. An ion stream is supplied into a quadrupole ion guide operated at elevated pressure with a buffer gas. In addition to a radio frequency field for guiding ions through the ion guide, an extra field or other excitation is provided. This field is selected to cause resonance excitation of parent ions of interest. These ions would then gain kinetic energy and undergo enhanced collision-induced dissociation with a buffer gas. This generates fragment ions, so that the resultant ion stream, containing remaining parent ions and fragment ions can be analysed in a suitable analyzer. The method essentially enables the two steps of selection of a particular parent ion and generation of fragment ions by collision-induced dissociation to be carried out in a single step, giving a simpler apparatus and enhanced efficiency.

Title: Moisture insensitive electroluminescent phosphor
Inventor: FAN CHEN-WEN
IPC: H05B33/14
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: A phosphor particle has thereon a moisture resistant treatment of a metallic nitride. By moisture resistant is meant a condition allowing the phosphor particle to function in a humid atmosphere for a significantly longer period of time than an untreated particle. The method of making such phosphors comprises the steps of introducing an inert gas into a reaction vessel; charging phosphor particles into the reaction vessel;  heating the reaction vessel to a reaction temperature; introducing a nitride coating precursor into the reaction vessel in a manner to avoid restrictive reactions; introducing a co-reactant into the reaction vessel; and maintaining the inert gas flow, co-reactant flow and precursor supply for a time sufficient to moisture-proof the phosphor particles. The nitride treated phosphor particles produced by this method, which can include the deposition of a nitride coating on the particles, have excellent efficacy ratings and strong luminance values in lamps after 100 hours use in high humidity (i.e., >95%). By avoiding restrictive reactions the method and apparatus can be used to manufacture commercial quantities of coated phosphors.
