Abstract: A display apparatus for a plurality of articles all having substantially the same size comprises an inclined support structure sloping forwardly and downwardly and supporting the articles for sliding forward and rearward movement thereon. A first stop structure is configured to prevent forward movement of the articles beyond a first stop point. A second stop structure is supported for movement between first and second positions. When the second stop structure is in the first position, the second stop structure is configured so as to prevent forward movement of the articles through a second stop point located at a distance rearward of the first stop point. When the second stop structure is in the second position, the second stop structure permits an article rear of the second stop point to move forward past the second stop point. The second stop structure is biased so as to move toward the first position, and is configured so that the second stop structure moves to the second position thereof when one of the articles is retained by the first stop structure at the first stop point, allowing another of the articles to slide past the second stop point. A method of making a sloping track of rollers is also described.

Inventor: JONES CHRISTOPHER M
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2011-06-01
Abstract: Logging systems and methods that employ nanosensors to obtain spectral measurements downhole. The nanosensors can be dispersed in borehole fluids (including cement slurries) that circulate, diffuse, or get injected in a borehole. Because the nanosensors have diameters on the order of 10 nm to lOOOnm, they readily penetrate into cracks, pores, and other voids where their carrier fluids can reach. The nanosensors transport light sources and recording media to measure spectra in these otherwise inaccessible regions. The nanosensors are then recovered and analyzed to reconstruct the measured spectra, and determine relevant material characteristics. Among other things, spectral measurements can reveal the presence of certain elements and molecules in the formation and fluids, from which information scientists determine composition and phases of formation fluids and the formation itself. Certain triggering criteria may also be employed to enable the nanosensor measurements to be associated with specific locations, paths, and/or events.
