    摘要: The present invention provides a simple, robust, and versatile high-resolution spectrometer that is suitable for downhole use. The present invention provides a method and apparatus incorporating a spinning, oscillating or stepping optical interference filter to change the angle at which light passes through the filters after passing through a sample under analysis downhole. As each filter is tilted, the color or wavelength of light passed by the filter changes. Black plates are placed between the filters to isolate each filter's photodiode. The spectrometer of the present invention is suitable for use with a wire line formation tester, such as the Baker Atlas Reservation Characterization Instrument to provide supplemental analysis and monitoring of sample clean up. The present invention is also suitable for deployment in a monitoring while drilling environment. The present invention provides a high resolution spectometer which enables quantification of a crude oil's percentage of aromatics, olefins, and saturates to estimate a sample's gas oil ratio (GOR). Gases such as CO2 are also detectable. The percentage of oil-based mud filtrate contamination in a crude oil sample can be estimated with the present invention by using a suitable training set and chemometrics, a neural network, or other type of correlation method.

    摘要: An embedded data acquisition and control system for a precision instruments, such as a non-invasive glucose prediction instrument is disclosed. One feature of the invention provides synchronization of stepper motor position and analog-to-digital converters. An embedded controller is provided that controls the stepper motor driver directly to minimize the wavelength shift error due to the asynchronous condition. The controller synchronizes the event of reading the A/D converters with each stepper motor position. Because the stepper motor controls the wavelength of the monochromator optical output, the net result is that each A/D conversion recorded by the embedded controller is precisely tracked to a specific wavelength. Another feature of the invention provides closed loop motor position control for enhanced system performance. In the closed loop system, a position encoder is coupled to the stepper motor shaft. The encoded position signal is processed by a digital encoder at the bipolar stepper motor drive, resulting in an actual position feedback to the embedded controller. Because the embedded controller has the position feedback, it can initiate the next step command as soon as the position feedback reaches its target. The step rate is increased by reducing the time delay that was set by a conservative value as indicated in the open loop control mode. One advantage of this method is to achieve highest speed in all load conditions without missing steps. A further feature of the invention provides optical Isolation to minimize motor noise. Thus, optical isolation is provided at a bipolar stepper motor drive and embedded controller interface. To maximize system sensitivity, optical isolation is implemented between the embedded controller and the stepper motor drive.

    摘要: An interference filter transmission wavelength scanning photometer wherein the angle of inclination of an interference filter (3) is periodically varied, the wavelength of the light to be transmitted is modulated with the periodical variation centered at the maximum absorption wavelength of the interesting component, the variation of the intensity of the light transmitted through a sample is extracted by an infrared sensor (11) as an electrical signal. The time between the rise and fall zero cross points of the AC component of the electric signal is determined by a microprocessor (16), the ratio (Tnull2T1)/T. is calculated from the full period T (time for every other zero cross point of the AC component) and half period T1 (the time for every zero cross point of the AC component) obtained from the above determined time, and the concentration of the interesting component is determined from the variation of the result of the calculation of the ratio, thereby quantitatively determining the component without interfering of the coexistent components.

    摘要: Light under measurement whose wavelength is continuously swept is incident on fiber-optic Etalon. The fiber-optic Etalon transmits the light under measurement each time the wavelength of the light under measurement satisfies specific conditions. A PD detects the transmitted light of the fiber-optic Etalon and outputs the intensity of the light under measurement. A counter counts the number of peaks of the output of the PD. A CPU calculates the wavelength of the light under measurement based on the count value of the counter.
