    摘要: A universal joint between adjacent, electrically connected instrument housings for downhole well operations allow the connected housings to bend longitudinally as required to traverse an arced section of a well bore but does not permit relative elongation or twisting about the longitudinal axis of the housings. In one embodiment, a fluid impermeable open passage space at atmospheric pressure surrounds electrical signal carriers linking the instrument circuitry within the two housings. The passage is constructed as a high-pressure flexible bellows or as a braided or spiral wound high-pressure fluid hose. In another embodiment, a fluid impermeable sheath surrounds the signal carriers and encapsulates the signal carriers by a resilient solid. The articulation structure comprises a Cardan-type of universal joint wherein two fingers project longitudinally from the end of each of the housings. The fingers are meshed and pivotally joined to respective spindles projecting radially from the open center of a ring spyder. The protective bellows, hose or resilient compound filled sheath is secured at opposite ends to bore plugs in the respective instrument housings. Between the instrument housings, the hose, bellows or filled sheath passes through the open center of the spyder ring.

    摘要: An ICD detection method for sensing the occurrence of an R-wave improves the ability to distinguish R-waves from noise through the use of variable declining sensitivity thresholds. The method includes the consideration of the amplitude of at least the previous most recent R-wave to determine a declining threshold of sensitivity used to recognize a subsequent electrical signal as an R-wave. In the method, the amplitude of the previous R-wave may be classified, based upon amplitude, and based upon the classification, a desirable time constant for the declining threshold of sensitivity is provided as an exponential or reverse exponential decay. Alternatively, a piece wise use of various decay formulas may be combined and used to avoid false recognition of noise as an R-wave.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for detecting the location of subsurface markers in a formation proximate to a borehole. The apparatus includes marker detectors in a housing having at least two housing sections attached in an initial orientation. The distance between the detectors is measured under controlled conditions with a calibration bar. The initial attached orientation between the housing sections is identified with a calibrator, and deviations from the initial attached orientation are identified by the calibrator after the housing sections are detached and reattached. The calibrator permits well site corrections to be made to the housing sections without recalibration. Gauges permit corrections for temperature and pressure fluctuations, and the corrected distances between the housing detectors is computed. Detectors in the housing generate signals when each detector is proximate to a marker in the formation, and such signals can be processed to identify the elevation of a marker in the borehole, or the distance between markers in the borehole, to determine formation compaction or settlement. In an apparatus having two detectors separated by a spacer, flexible retainers can be positioned between each detector and the spacer to permit thermal expansion or contraction of the detectors relative to the spacer.

    摘要: An audio system employs a microcontroller to supervise the operation of an audio system including a digitally controlled audio processor which controls at least a wideband and a narrowband gain for the audio signal. The narrowband gain may preferably comprise a bass boost to the audio signal. Clipping distortion of the audio signal is avoided by sensing clipping in a power amplifier and reducing the digital commands for the wideband gain and the narrowband gain according to a method which reduces narrowband gain in preference to the wideband gain. After the narrowband gain is reduced to a predetermined gain, the wideband gain may be reduced if clipping persists. When clipping ceases, the narrowband gain is likewise restored to its original gain in preference to restoring of the wideband gain.
