Patent CA-2478136-C (CA)
Title: Determining the pressure of formation fluid in earth formations surrounding a borehole
Inventor: DHRUVA BRINDESH
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2004-08-17
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A method for determining formation fluid pressure in earth formation surrounding a borehole wall uses a downhole probe coupled to a variable-volume cavity. The probe is driven into contact with formation at the borehole wall. The method includes expanding the volume of the cavity during a first period of time to establish fluid communication between tool fluid and formation fluid, by withdrawing a minimal amount of fluid from the formation. During a second period of time the tool pressure is allowed to equilibrate to formation pressure. When pressure equilibrium is established, formation fluid pressure is set equal to tool pressure. A preferred embodiment includes terminating expanding the volume of the cavity on detecting a break in the mud cake seal. An associated formation pressure tester tool includes an elongated body; a probe defining a formation fluid inflow aperture, an electromechanical assembly defining a variable-volume cavity, a pretest flow line coupling the aperture to the cavity, a pressure sensor coupled to the cavity; and downhole electronic means for controlling the expansion of the volume of the cavity.

Abstract: A method is described for radar measurement by transmitting and receiving radar signals with at least two spatially separated radar systems, where a signal exchange takes place between the two radar systems to determine measurement-relevant parameters. An exchange of reference radar signals thereby takes place between at least two radar systems. On the basis of the reference radar signals received, a determination takes place of the relative phase relationship of the radar signals of the radar systems and/or the relative time position of time references of the radar systems.

Abstract: The present invention (60) is directed to a catheter (61) that is configured to self-regulate aspiration rates through a working lumen (63) of the catheter (60). The catheter (60) comprises a compliant member (74) in communication with the working lumen (63) that is configured to transition from an open position to a closed position when a predetermined aspiration threshold is exceeded. In the closed position, the compliant member (74) is temporarily drawn inward to at least partially occlude flow through the working lumen (63), thereby mitigating the rate of aspiration imposed upon a patient's vessel. When the rate of aspiration is reduced below the threshold level, the compliant member (74) returns to the open position.

Abstract: A micromechanical actuator (92) for sorting hematopoietic stem cells for use in cancer therapies. The actuator (92) operates by diverting cells into one of a number of possible pathways (94, 100) fabricated in the fabrication substrate of the micromechanical actuator (92), when fluorescence is detected emanating from the cells. The fluorescence results from irradiating the cells with laser light, which excites a fluorescent tag attached to the cell. The micromechanical actuator (92) thereby sorts the cells individually, with an operation rate of 3.3kHz, however with the massively parallel 1024-fold device described herein, a throughput of 3.3 million events/second is achievable.
