Title: Gear pump for pumping fluid
Inventor: LEO DEARDEN
IPC: G01R33/07
Filed: 2015-08-07
Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to a gear pump for pumping fluid. The gear pump 100 comprise a motor 102 for driving a rotatable drive shaft 108. A drive gear 118 is driven by the drive shaft and an idler gear 120 which meshes with the drive gear. An annular magnet 122 is disposed coaxially with the drive shaft and rotates therewith and a sensor 126 senses rotation of the annular magnet and generates an output signal corresponding to a rotational position of the drive shaft. The determination of the position of the drive shaft can then be used to control the motor and hence the fluid output of the pump is controlled in response to the calculated position of the drive shaft. The sensor may comprise a Hall Effect array to determine the magnet position. The sensor may be located in a trench 204 on a face 124 of an exterior surface of the pump housing. The pump face may comprise fluid input and output ports 200, 202 respectively.

Title: Determining properties of porous material by NMR
Inventor: JONATHAN MITCHELL
IPC: G01N24/08
Filed: 2015-09-18
Abstract: A porous material 22 with liquid in the pores is examined by submerging the material in a bathing liquid 10, possibly a perfluorocarbon, which is immiscible with the liquid in the pores, is non-wetting towards the material, is immiscible with and differs in density from the liquid on the outside of the material, and does not contain a resonant element found in the pore liquid. This bathing liquid displaces fluid 24 from the surface of the porous material but not the liquid in the pores. Nuclear magnetic resonance signals from the pore liquid gives a measurement of pore volume. Volume of bathing liquid displaced by the porous material is also measured by NMR from a second resonant element in the bathing liquid and the bulk volume and porosity can be derived from these measurements. The method may be used for examination of drill cuttings from a borehole while drilling.
