Title: Down-hole transmitter system, method of inducing a transient electromagnetic field in an earth formation, method of obtaining a transient electromagnetic resp
Inventor: BASS RONALD MARSHALL
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2008-07-01
Abstract: A down-hole tool provided with a transmitter system for inducing a transient electromagnetic field in an earth formation has an induction coil with a number of windings to generate essentially a magnetic dipole field. The number of windings is divided into two or more groups of windings arranged to cooperatively generate the essentially magnetic dipole field when energized. Switching means are arranged to essentially simultaneously terminate the energizing of the groups of windings. The groups of windings are electrically isolated from each other or connected in parallel to each other, at least when the energizing is terminated. A transient electromagnetic field may thus be induced in an earth formation by essentially simultaneously terminating energizing each group of windings by operating the switching means. A transient electromagnetic response signal may be recorded, and used in a method of producing a mineral hydrocarbon fluid.

Abstract: 503,996. Photographic diazotype layers. KALLE & CO. AKT.-GES. April 5, 1938, No. 10439. Convention date, April 5, 1937. [Class 98 (ii)] [Also in Group IV] In the reflex copying process, light-sensitive diazotype material is employed, the diazo and azo components being so chosen that on development yellow or greenish yellow dyes are formed which absorb light in the region from 3300 to 4400. Such copies are suitable for reproduction on diazotype material. As supports, sheets or foils of cellulose hydrate may be used. Mixtures of two or more diazo compounds or of two or more coupling components may be used. Such additional compounds may yield dyes of darker tones so that the copies are more easily legible. Bleaching dyes, e.g. pinacyanol, with or without sensitizers, e.g. thiosinamine, may be included in the material. Further sheets sensitized with diazo compounds or bleaching dyes may be interposed between the material and the light, source during copying. Filters absorbing ultraviolet light, e.g. of aesculine, aesculetine, #- methyl-umbelliferone carboxylic acid or pyrenedisulphonic acid, may be used or these substances may be included in the sensitive layer. In examples, the diazonium chloride of 1- amino - 2 - oxy - 4 - chlorohenzene - 6 - sulphonic acid, 4 - dimethylaminobenzene - 1 - diazonium chloride, and-4-diethylaminobenzene-diazonium chloride are used as diazo compounds. The diazo chloride of 1-amino-2-oxy-6-chlorobenzene-6-sulphonic acid is prepared by diazotizing 2 : 4-dichlor-1-aniline-6-sulphonic acid and treating the product with soda solution. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the use as azo components of alkyl phenols in which the alkyl group contains a residue known to increase the solubility in water, e.g. an amino group, e.g. a dimethylamino or a phenylamino group, a carboxyl group or a hydroxyl group.

In a computer installation spoken matter is reproduced by selecting and reproducing recorded words at a high rate from a first store, writing the words into a buffer store from which they are read at a lower rate for audible reproduction. The first store comprises drum 10 having an outer surface 11 of magnetic recording material which carries a plurality of pre-recorded tracks 12 each comprising a digital address portion 12A and a speech word portion 12B. The drum and the multiple head assembly 13 are rotated such that the tracks 12 are scanned in succession at a very high rate and the head circuits, which are capable of reproducing signals having frequencies up to 12 Mc/s, apyly the signals to a comparator 18. When a read address corresponds to that applied from register 16, gate 20 is enabled and the associated word is written into buffer store 21 which includes a two gun cathode ray storage tube 22. The writing is controlled by signal generator 23 which is triggered by the comparator signal and supplies the time base signal to write the word into line 22A. A read deflection signal is generated in unit 24, the time base rate being determined such that the line 22A is read out at a rate which produces an audible reproduction of the word from speaker 26. When the word is completely read out null detector 30 operates to restore unit 24 and to signal that the address of the next word may be inserted in register 16. The buffer store may use two lines 22A, 22B one of which may store a word being read out whilst the other is ready to receive, or stores, the next word. Switching is carried out by flip flop 32.

Abstract: 786,147. Detecting flaws by magnetic means. MAGNAFLUX CORPORATION. April 9, 1956, No. 10760/56. Class 37. An indication of flaws in an electrically conducting test-piece is obtained by inducing a magnetic flux in the test-piece, the flux pattern over the surface of which is transferred to a testing member which may be flexible, in which magnetizable material is uniformly distributed, placed adjacent to the said surface. As shown (Fig. 3), capacitor 18 is charged from a high D.C. voltage source 20, 21, and discharged through the test-piece 10 in which a high instantaneous flux is thereby induced. A.C. source 22 may provide an alternating biasing flux. Testing member 16 is preferably made of electrically insulating elastomeric material, e.g. rubber, with magnetizable material, e.g. iron or iron oxide particles, embedded therein. Indication of defects is obtained by disposing magnetizable particles, e.g. powdered iron, freely or suspended in a liquid such as oil in a flat-bottomed container, on testing member 16; areas of high concentration of particles indicate flaws. Fig. 6 shows a tubular testing-piece 23 inflated within pipe 24 for detecting flaws therein. The thickness of testing member 16 or 23 should be at least one-tenth of the depth of the defect below the surface of the test-piece 10 or 24; alternatively or additionally a plate of magnetizable material, e.g. iron, may be placed over the test-member 16 during magnetization.

An integral fin 38 is formed on a solid or tubular workpiece by pressing into its surface a tool 30 comprising two spaced parallel edges, with one or more undulations or projections 31, which are moved at high speed relatively to the surface to cause local heating and softening of the workpiece surface and to displace the softened material into the gap between the edges. For forming a helical fin on a tube or bar of copper, steel or magnesium-beryllium alloy the latter is mounted between the headstock and tailstock 11, 12 of a lathe and rotated by a chuck 21; a mandrel may be used with a tube. A pair of generally circular spaced discs 30 driven at high speed by an electric motor 26 are mounted on the saddle 24 and pressed into the surface. The axis of rotation of the discs is set to correspond with the helix angle. One or more blunt radial projections 31 are provided on the periphery of each disc to impart a series of impact blows which assists softening. Various forms of projections are described, Figs. 3, 6A-6D (not shown). These projections may be integral with or attached to the discs. The discs may be slightly thicker at their extreme peripheral edges to relieve friction. The discs and workpiece may be rotated in the same or different directions. The saddle is traversed along the workpiece by a lead screw 37. Lubricant is supplied from nozzles 39. More than two discs are used, Fig. 5 (not shown), for forming two or more fins simultaneously; these fins may be of different radial depths. One or more milling cutters 31, Fig. 4 (not shown), may be mounted behind the discs to clean up the grooves between the fins. Circumferential fins or a longitudinal fin, Fig. 7 (not shown), may be formed. In another embodiment, Fig. 9, internal projections 98 are formed on spaced rings 80 to impact on the surface of the workpiece 10. The fins may taper outwardly. The tool may alternatively comprise a chain or strip rotated around pulleys.
