Title: Directional resistivity measurements
Inventor: LI QIMING
IPC: G01V3/30
Filed: 2004-05-05
Abstract: A data processing technique is useful for extracting signals from the azimuthal variation of the directional measurements acquired by a logging tool within a borehole. Boundary, anisotropy and fracture signals are extracted from the formation response through fitting of the azimuthal variation of the measured voltages to some sinusoidal functions. The orientation of the bedding is also obtained. The extracted directional signals are useful for obtaining boundary distances and making geosteering decisions. Two techniques involving inversion and cross-plotting may be employed, depending on the nature of the boundary. A Graphical User Interface (GUI ) facilitates flexible definition of inversion objectives, for improving the inversion results, and for visualization of the formation model as well as inversion measurements. A logging instrument having at least first transmitter and receiver antennas thereon, at least one of which has a tilted dipole moment, is rotated and used to determine the azimuthal variation of measured voltage signals.

Title: Error source identification in dot arrays
Inventor: HOYLE PHILIP CLIFFORD
IPC: H01J37/28
Filed: 2006-11-29
Abstract: A method of error source identification in a dot array comprising which a high-density grid pattern of nanoscale dots, for example dots of as little as 7 nanometres in diameter at a pitch of 15 to 100 nanometres, on the surface of a substrate. This could be carried out by a device such as an electron beam lithography machine n accordance with a design embodying a grid with the same dot pitch in two mutually orthogonal directions, i.e. a regular grid. Scanning electron micrographs 13 of individual sample areas of the generated array are then produced and the dot positions in each micrograph 13 and the displacements thereof from the dot positions in the design grid are determined. In particular this determination can be achieved using a fast Fourier transform and an estimated grid 12' representing the design grid, the estimated grid being recalculated as a best fit grid 12'' in order to average the dot displacements. The determined displacements are evaluated to identify displacements indicative of systematic writing error and the source of the systematic writing error is identified by comparison of a frequency of the identified displacements with known or possible frequencies associated with errors occurring in machine operation.
