    摘要: A tool having a neutron source, a gamma ray detector, and a photomultiplier tube is provided. The gamma ray detector and the photomultiplier tube are at least partially surrounded by a layer of boron. The tool is used to make measurements, and the number of prompt gamma rays emitted by the boron is determined from the measurements. The number of neutrons detected may be inferred using the determined number of prompt gamma rays. The tool may also have a layer of neutron absorbing material different from boron or a layer of heavy metal at least partially surrounding the boron. The tool may be a logging tool used to delineate a porous formation and to determine its porosity. The tool may have a plurality of gamma ray detector/photomultiplier tube pairs and those pairs may be used to determine a formation hydrogen index and/or a borehole hydrogen index.

    摘要: Disclosed is a model-independent method for accurate prediction of formation and borehole properties from neutron capture cross section measurements. A mapping function is constructed which maps the input measurements to the properties of interest. The mapping function is a linear combination of Gauss radial basis functions. The expansion coefficients and widths of the Gaussian functions are determined uniquely using a database populated with representative samples. For a sample not included in the original database, the desired properties can be estimated from the mapping function using the measurements made on the unknown sample.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for inelastic gamma-ray logging are provided. In one embodiment, such a method includes emitting neutrons into a subterranean formation from a downhole tool to produce inelastic gamma-rays, detecting a portion of the inelastic gamma-rays that scatter back to the downhole tool to obtain an inelastic gamma-ray signal, and determining a property of the subterranean formation based at least in part on the inelastic gamma-ray signal. The inelastic gamma-ray signal may be substantially free of epithermal and thermal neutron capture background.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a system and method for presenting large numbers of items on a display screen. According to one aspect of the present invention, information is harvested from a plurality of sites and over a plurality of times and aggregated into a single item set. According to another aspect of the present invention, this information is supplemented by data derived from sorting and classification tasks performed by humans. According to another aspect of present invention, this information is used to derive similarities between items and to derive a heterarchical classification of items into a hierarchical set of categories. According to another aspect of the present invention, one or more series of catalog displays are created which display these items arranged by different criteria and at different scales. According to another aspect of the present invention, these catalog displays are divided into a set of image and data files that can be sent to a client node incrementally during a session. According to another aspect of the present invention, the user may interact with the catalog display to change its scale factor and spatial offset relative to the display surface, to select different catalog displays or portions thereof, and to display additional information. According to another aspect of the present invention, the user may select items for display in a separate area or set of areas that can be manipulated independently of the virtual catalog display. The system and method are particularly useful for assisting users in locating products within a catalog of an online merchant, but may be used in connection with other collections of items.

    摘要: A chemical agent detector with a a lesser demand sensor, a greater demand sensor, an inlet; and a manifold; and methods associated therewith. The manifold is positioned between the inlet and the sensors, and includes a first intake associated with the lesser demand sensor, a second intake associated with a greater demand sensor, and at least one restrictor. The first intake is placed closer to the inlet than the second intake, and the second intake is isolated from the inlet by at least one restrictor within the manifold. The intakes and restrictor are sized and positioned such that the ratio between: the conductance of the path from the inlet to the greater demand sensor to the conductance of the path between the sensors effectively isolates the lesser demand sensor from the effects of the greater demand sensor.
