Title: MEMS-Based transducers on a downhole tool
Inventor: TATIANA GILSTRAP
IPC: G01V1/52
Filed: 2015-11-17
Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for taking acoustic/ultrasonic wave measurements of a wellbore using a downhole tool equipped with microelectromechanical (MEM) transducers are provided. The MEM transducers may include a plurality of MEM transmitters (e.g., MEM speakers) and a plurality of separate MEM receivers (e.g., MEM microphones). These MEM transducers may be disposed in arrays proximate an outer surface of the downhole tool to collect acoustic/ultrasonic wave measurements of the full circumference of a wellbore. Due to their small size, large numbers of MEM transducers may be distributed radially around the downhole tool. Such an arrangement of sensors may enable the downhole tool to perform measurements of the entire wellbore without the downhole tool needing to be rotated, leading to an increased signal-to- noise ratio of the measurements.

Title: Laser method and apparatus for analysing crystals
Inventor: JASON SMITH
IPC: G01N21/87
Filed: 2018-10-11
Abstract: A laser focussed into a crystal induces creation, modification, dissociation, or diffusion of defects (maybe fluorescent) within the focal region. A signal (maybe fluorescent) dependent on the creation, modification, dissociation or diffusion is monitored during or after laser application; the signal also depends on the crystal structure. A crystal characteristic (e.g. strain, impurities, nuclear or electron spin resonance, isotopic content) is analysed (maybe spectroscopically) from the signal. The laser may be controlled to form an adatom-vacancy defect by diffusion or dissociation of a vacancy, or generation of a Frenkel defect adjacent a substitutional impurity. A first laser energy may create vacancies, and a second lower energy may induce diffusion. The defect may be a colour centre having a property that is determined from its fluorescence; laser processing may be controlled to dissociate the colour centre and form another colour centre. The method may determine a diamond crystal as natural or synthetic.
