Abstract: A method and system includes acquiring a seismic dataset while fluids are injected into the subsurface with seismic data recorded at multiple sensor locations. Seismic travel times are computed between sensors and subsurface locations using a velocity model. Travel times and travel time delays between pairs of sensors may be used as input to determine a similarity coefficient associated with subsurface positions. The similarity coefficients are determined using cross correlation, semblance calculations or eigenstructure decomposition. The coefficient values are related to the acoustic response at each subsurface position and may be summed together for each position for comparison with other subsurface positions to determine the position of a fluid front moving through the subsurface. The values may be displayed to illustrate the position of fluids in the subsurface and displayed to show the time variance of the fluid position.

Abstract: Seismic data recorded by subsurface seismic sensors placed in a borehole, such as an oil or gas well, are transformed via a process of upward wavefield propagation to pseudo-receivers at the surface of the earth. The seismic data thus transformed can be processed as though the data had been recorded by the pseudo-receivers at the surface rather than in the borehole where the data were actually recorded. This method accurately accounts for seismic source statics, anisotropy, and all velocity effects between the real receivers in the borehole and the pseudo-receivers at the surface of the earth.

Abstract: A method for deposition of a metal layer onto plastic materials is disclosed. The method allows for formation of long length strain gauges and deposition of high melting temperature metals onto plastic materials. The method comprises initially depositing a pattern of powder particles onto the plastic material using a kinetic spray process. Then the high melting temperature metal layer is deposited using a thermal spray process. The metal layer only adheres to the pattern of the powder particles and not to the plastic substrate. To form a stain gauge the powder particles are deposited in a discontinuous non-electrically conductive density on the plastic material. Then a metal layer is deposited using a thermal spray process and a metal having a variable resistance. The metal forms a continuous and electrically conductive pathway having a resistance that changes as stress is applied to the substrate.

Abstract: The subject invention provides an assembly for measuring movement of and a torque applied to a shaft extending between first and second ends and being hollow, specifically for measuring rotation and twisting of the shaft. A permanent magnet is disposed within the shaft for producing a parallel magnetic field emanating radially from the shaft. A sensor mechanism is positioned adjacent the shaft to detect the magnetic flux produced in response to the shaft being moved. The sensor mechanism includes a magnetostrictive (MR) material disposed annularly about the shaft and extends between first and second edges. A flux collector extends beyond the first and second edges of the magnetostrictive material to direct the magnetic flux through a Hall sensor to detect an axial component of the magnetic flux in response to twisting. A positional ring extends annularly around and spaced from the shaft and a positional sensor is disposed between the positional ring and the shaft for measuring a radial component of the magnetic flux in response to rotating.

Abstract: A new gas collimator for use in a kinetic spray system is disclosed. The collimator reduces turbulence of the main gas and results in significant increases in the amount of particles deposited on a substrate using the system. Kinetic spray nozzles incorporating the new collimator also have significantly higher deposition efficiencies. The new collimator enables the main gas temperature to be reduced while permitting much higher depositions and deposition efficiencies compared to the prior art collimator. Also disclosed is a low pressure injection method for a kinetic spray system. The coaxial, low pressure injection method enables the use of low pressure powder feeders, which are low cost, technologically mature, and widely available commercially. The coaxial injection method overcomes several undesirable effects associated with prior art high pressure injection methods.
