Title: Methods for determining rheological quantities of a drilling fluid using apparent viscosity
Inventor: JAMISON DALE E
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: A method of calculating rheological quantity involves measuring an apparent viscosity of a drilling fluid at a first set of reference conditions comprising a first reference temperature and a first reference pressure and at a second set of reference conditions comprising a second reference temperature and a second reference pressure and at a third set of reference conditions comprising a third reference temperature and a third reference pressure. At least two of the reference temperatures are substantially equal to one another and at least two of the reference pressure are substantially equal to one another where the reference temperatures and the reference pressure define a calibration range. A rate of change is determined in apparent viscosity with respect to temperature between two of the sets of reference conditions in which the reference pressures are substantially equal. A rate of change is determined in apparent viscosity with respect to pressure between tw of the sets of reference conditions in which the reference temperatures are substantially equal. A measures rheological quantity is scaled at an initial set of temperature and pressure conditions within the calibration range to a final set of temperature and pressure conditions within the calibration range, the scaling being calculated based upon the rate of change in apparent viscosity with respect to temperature and the rate of change in apparent viscosity with respect to pressure, thereby determining a calculated rheological property.

Title: Driving variable capacitive loads
Inventor: ROBERT WILLIAM GWYNNE
IPC: H03K17/687
Filed: 2016-08-17
Abstract: Circuitry for driving a variable capacitive load, such as those found in inkjet print heads, includes a digital control circuit 402 generating a digital drive signal 404, a drive circuit 406 and a variable capacitive load 422. The drive circuit converts the digital signal into an analogue drive waveform 410, and includes a slewing circuits 440, 442, 448, 450 for driving a time dependent voltage component of the drive waveform. The digital drive signal is modified for each charging cycle, and optionally each discharging cycle, to match the time dependent component of the drive waveform to the variable capacitive load. A keeper circuit 424, 426, 428 may drive a static voltage component of the drive waveform to maintain a desired charge or pre-charge voltage. The variable capacitance may be pre-determined at manufacture, determined from a known subset of the load during use, or measured by the circuitry. Matching the drive signal to the load allows for the desired charging rate to be achieved without causing significant undershoot, overshoot or ringing of the voltage level.
