Patent CA-2966821-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BITTAR MICHAEL S
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: A downhole method and apparatus for simultaneously determining the horizontal resistivity, vertical resistivity, and relative dip angle for anisotropic earth formations uses an antenna configuration in which a transmitter antenna (T1-TN) and a receiver antenna (R1, R2) are oriented in non-parallel planes such that the vertical resistivity and the relative dip angle are decoupled. Preferably, either the transmitter or the receiver is mounted in a conventional orientation in a first plane that is normal to the tool axis, and the other antenna is mounted in a second plane that is not parallel to the first plane. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for steering a downhole tool during a drilling operation in order to maintain the borehole within a desired earth formation. The steering capability is enabled by computing the difference or the radio of the phase-based or amplitude-based responses of the receiver antennas (R1, R2) which are mounted in planes that are not parallel to the planes of the transmitter antennas (T1-TN).

Abstract: A structured fiber product is constructed with fibers oriented primarily in a vertical direction. Fibers made from recycled materials are combined with binder fibers which have a lower transition temperature than the recycled fibers. A three dimensional web is formed from the fibers oriented in a horizontal direction. The web is heated to bind the fibers and cooled to fix the web in a predetermined thickness. Sections of the web are stacked while maintaining substantially parallel orientation of the fibers in the horizontal direction, heated to bind the fibers and cooled to fix a predetermined thickness of the structured fiber product. The structured fiber product is rotated so that the fibers are oriented in the vertical direction. One or more slabs of the structured fiber product with vertically oriented fibers may be configured to form a resilient structure such as a mattress core.

Abstract: A system and method are described that help to alleviate pressure and strain spikes in and around dead tubes or frontiers between stages in a multi-stage condenser coil.  Instead of cycling a fan off and on, fans associated with the condenser are kept running at a low speed instead of being turned off. Preventing the fans from turning off completely helps to even out the pressure and strain spikes. The present teachings can be especially beneficial in aluminum-based coils.  The present teachings include both a unit controller that carries out the teachings, and a system based on temperature and/or pressure switches connected to a fan controller.
