摘要: A system for monitoring downhole cement quality in a cased well includes an active acoustic source that generates acoustic waves, a distributed acoustic sensor, and a controller. The distributed acoustic sensor includes an optical fiber disposed on an outer surface of a casing of the cased well; a pulsed laser coupled to the optical fiber and that transmits pulses of laser light along the optical fiber; a sensor that detects light that is backscattered and reflected by the optical fiber; and a processor that controls the pulsed laser, receives signals from the sensor, and converts the signals into acoustic information. The controller receives the acoustic information from the processor and identifies well integrity loss.

摘要: The present disclosure is for a tool for measurement of phases in fluid in downhole applications. The tool includes a light coupler for providing a first light and for detecting a second light. The first light is provided to an optical interface and the second light is received from the optical interface. The optical interface is between the tool and the fluid. An optical path is provided that is integral or coupled to the optical interface. The optical path allows transmission of the first light into the fluid at the optical interface and also allows receiving the second light from the optical interface. The second light includes one or more light components disturbed by the fluid. A processor provides digital data associated with the measurement of phases in the fluid using optical data from at least the second light.

摘要: Generally, a system for use in a robotic surgical system may be used to determine an attachment state between a tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool of the system. The system may include sensors used to generate attachment data corresponding to the attachment state. The attachment state may be used to control operation of the tool driver and surgical tool. In some variations, one or more of the attachment states may be visually output to an operator using one or more of the tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool. In some variations, the tool driver and surgical tool may include electronic communication devices configured to be in close proximity when the surgical tool is attached to the sterile adapter and tool driver.

摘要: A fibre sensing apparatus (100) comprises an interrogation unit (104) to interrogate a sensing fibre with optical radiation, and to detect an optical signal returned from the fibre, and processing circuitry (114). A portion of the fibre may be excited with a test signal. The processing circuitry comprises an assessment module (115) to analyse the optical signal returned from the excited portion of fibre, and to determine at least one operational characteristic of the apparatus based on the detected optical signal.

摘要: A system includes an optical fiber integrated into a conveyance subsystem that is positionable downhole in a wellbore. The system also includes a backscattering sensor system positionable to monitor temperature and optical fiber strain along the optical fiber using backscattered light signals received from the optical fiber. Further, the system includes a fiber optic rotary joint positionable to optically couple the optical fiber with the backscattering sensor system to provide an optical path for the backscattered light signals to reach the backscattering sensor system.
