Title: Method for characterizing shear wave formation anisotropy
Inventor: DONALD J ADAM
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 2006-08-04
Abstract: A method of characterizing shear wave anisotropy in a formation includes obtaining crossed-dipole waveforms from a borehole penetrating the formation over a range of depths and frequencies, determining far-field slowness in a fast-shear and slow-shear direction using a low-frequency portion of the crossed-dipole waveforms, and determining near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear and slow-shear directions using a high-frequency portion of the crossed-dipole waveforms. The method also includes marking a selected depth of the formation as having intrinsic anisotropy if at the selected depth the far-field slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the far-field slowness in the slow-shear direction and the near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the near- wellbore slowness in the slow-shear direction. The selected depth is marked as having stress-induced anisotropy if the far-field slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the far-field slowness in the slow-shear direction and the near-wellbore slowness in the fast- shear direction is greater than the near-wellbore slowness in the slow-shear direction.

Filed: 2007-01-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording the position, location or movement of a body part of a patient and a device for recording the positon, location or movement of a body part or a medical instrument. According to the invention, a graphic marker is connected with the body part or the instrument and an image of the body part comprising the graphic marker is generated by an image recording camera (5, 6, 7). The image is processed by a processor device (14) as an image file. The invention is characterized in that at least one geometric size characteristic of the graphic marker is known, wherein the processor device (14) determines the positon, location and/or movement of the graphic marker in the three-dimensional space and in a quantitative manner relative to the image recording camera (5, 6, 7) by means of the known size characteristic. The invention offers, without the need of manual calibration of the measuring system, a substantial automatization and a high measuring precision during the determination of position and movemnet in the three-dimensional space. Simultaneously, the expenditure on equipment can be reduced and the reaction to the object or body part to be measured or to the patient can be minimized.
