Abstract: The present disclosure provides sensing systems and methods that are useful for monitoring materials (e.g., cement) via light diffusion to identify characteristics thereof and changes therein. The systems can utilize a light source, a light sensor, and light transmitting members combined with the material to be monitored. In use, light from the light source can be allowed to scatter through the material via the light transmitting members for detection by the light sensor. The data regarding the light transfer can be transmitted utilizing a communication interface and can be analyzed using data processing equipment. The systems and methods may particularly be utilized in monitoring the reinforcing cement positioned between the casing and the formation in an oil well.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and non-transitory computer readable storage media facilitate calculating outflow of water from a selected catchment. A computer-implemented method calculates an outflow of water from a selected catchment is calculated. An identification of a selected catchment from a plurality of catchments within a geographical area is received from a user workstation. A database of multilayered data is accessed, where the data includes hydrological data, geophysical data, and meteorological data for each of the plurality of catchments within the geographical area. From the multilayered data, one or more additional catchments are automatically identified within the plurality of catchments, to identify a group of navigated catchments that drain into the selected catchment. For a given time period, a model is generated determining an outflow of water from the selected catchment and the group of navigated catchments.

A piezoelectric material is deposited between the first electrode and a second electrode, to form a transducer device. At least the piezoelectric material is patterned such that a portion of the first electrode extends laterally outward therefrom. The primary substrate and the dielectric layer are etched to form a first via extending to the laterally outward portion of the first electrode, and a first conductive material is deposited to substantially fill the first via and form an electrically-conductive engagement with the laterally outward portion of the first electrode.

Abstract: A device for stimulable light emission that includes a fiber mat of nanofibers having an average fiber diameter in a range between 100 and 2000 nm, and includes plural stimulable particles disposed in association with the nanofibers. The stimulable particles produce secondary light emission upon receiving primary light at a wavelength λ. The average fiber diameter is comparable in size to the wavelength λ in order to provide scattering sites within the fiber mat for the primary light. Various methods for making suitable luminescent nanofiber mats include: electrospinning a polymer solution including or not including the stimulable particles and forming from the electrospun solution nanofibers having an average fiber diameter between 100 and 2000 nm. Methods, which electrospin without the stimulable particles, introduce the stimulable particles during electrospinning or after electrospinning to the fibers and therefore to the resultant fiber mat.
