摘要:
A nano-based device includes a support structure providing a support surface, a second structure providing a second surface angled with respect to the support surface, and at least one nano-emitter provided on the second surface.
摘要:
A gamma-ray detector comprising: a housing having a window through which gamma rays can enter; the housing comprising; a two-dimensional array of electrically conducting carbon nanotubes, which act as a cathode, on a substrate; a metal plate electrode, which acts as an anode, positioned opposite the substrate so that there is a gap containing a gas between the electrode and the nanotubes; and a voltage source connected to the substrate and the electrode such that when in use the voltage between the substrate and the electrode is maintained below the arc-threshold voltage so that no electric current can flow through the gap between the nanotubes and the electrode; wherein the electrode and the substrate are arranged such that when a gamma ray enters the housing and hits one of the nanotubes a spark discharge is triggered between the nanotubes and the plate electrode creating an electrical current that can be measured.
摘要:
To assemble a sensor array having plural sections, the sections of the sensor array are sealably attached, where the sections include sensors and cable segments. An inert gas is flowed through at least one inner fluid path inside the sensor array when the sections of the sensor array are being sealably attached.
摘要:
Oilfield elements and assemblies are described comprising a polymeric substrate and a polymer coating adhered to at least a portion of the substrate. Methods of using the elements and assemblies in oilfield operations are also described. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
摘要:
A completion system for use in a well includes a first completion section and a second section. The first completion section has a sand control assembly to prevent passage of particulates, a first inductive coupler portion, and a sensor positioned proximate to the sand control assembly that is electrically coupled to the first inductive coupler portion. The second section is deployable after installation of the first completion section. It includes a second inductive coupler portion to communicate with the first inductive coupler portion, to enable communication between the first completion section's sensor and another component coupled to the second section.
摘要:
A technique enables reduction in electrical power losses during operation of a submersible motor. The technique utilizes a submersible motor comprising a housing that encloses a stator and a rotor. A ferrofluid is located in the housing in a sufficient quantity to fill the gap between rotor and stator. The ferrofluid has substantially improved properties that facilitate a reduction in electrical power supplied and thus a greater efficiency in operation of the motor.
