Patent CA-2490477-A1 (CA)
Title: Low frequency electromagnetic telemetry system employing high cardinality phase shift keying
Inventor: RODNEY PAUL F
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2003-07-02
Abstract: A downhole electromagnetic telemetry system with an increased data rate is disclosed. In one embodiment, a PSK data transmission system is used to transmit data in a downhole electromagnetic telemetry system for Measure While Drilling (MWD) applications. MWD applications suffer from data rates that are not well suited for the ever-increasing amount of data that needs to be transmitted. One method of increasing the data rate includes increasing the carrier frequency, but this can cause undesirable signal attenuation and distortion. Conversely, decreasing the carrier frequency provides the reward of a stronger signal at the risk of aliasing, especially with wide bandwidth signals. A derivation is disclosed predicting that the frequency may actually be decreased while increasing the number of phase states to achieve a higher data rate, without affecting the bandwidth. The system and method disclosed may advantageously provide a robust, low-power electromagnetic telemetry system with an increased data rate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des améliorations apportées au traitement de l'eau traversant une membrane d'osmose inverse (OI). Ces améliorations sont obtenues par réduction des espaces d'alimentation de l'élément d'OI (22), par récupération améliorée (rapport perméat sur alimentation), par récupération de pression fluidique du rétentat par rapport à la pression de l'eau d'alimentation, et par pulsation du fluide du flux d'alimentation de l'élément d'OI. Ces caractéristiques sont de préférence combinées de manière à optimiser les performances et le coût par unité de volume d'eau produit. Le système de la présente invention comprend de préférence une pompe alternative à tête double (20), un élément d'OI (22) avec un logement, et une soupape à commande par pression différentielle (<= DPA >=) (24). La soupape DPA (24), combinée avec les pressionsfluidiques de compensation sur les deux têtes (28, 30) de la pompe, permet d'obtenir une récupération d'énergie. La fréquence et l'amplitude de la pompe alternative (20) créent une onde d'impulsion dans l'élément d'IO (22) qui améliore la qualité et le débit du perméat. Un système de commande permet de surveiller avantageusement les paramètres du système pour optimiser la vitesse et l'amplitude de la pompe alternative (20) et obtenir la fréquence et l'amplitude optimales nécessaires pour un débit et une qualité de perméat maximaux, à partir de n'importe quelle configuration de l'élément d'OI (22).
