    摘要: An apparatus for performing a measurement of a downhole property includes an optical fiber having a first section that has a first set of fiber Bragg gratings with a first resonant wavelength inscribed therein and a second section that has a second set of fiber Bragg gratings with a second resonant wavelength different from the first resonant wavelength inscribed therein. The second section is in series with the first section. An optical interrogator emits a swept-wavelength frequency domain light signal having varying wavelength amplitude modulation into the optical fiber, receives a frequency domain return light signal, and transforms the frequency domain return signal into a time domain to determine a resonant wavelength shift of each fiber Bragg grating and the corresponding location of each interrogated fiber Bragg grating. A processor converts the resonant wavelength shift of each interrogated fiber Bragg grating into the downhole property measurement.

    摘要: A distributed temperature sensor, a method of determining temperature, and a processing system to compute temperature are described. The sensor includes an optical fiber disposed in an area where temperature is to be measured, a primary light source to inject light into the optical fiber, and a secondary light source to inject light into the optical fiber. The sensor additionally includes a photodetector to detect backscatter light energy from the optical fiber the backscatter light energy including Stokes Raman scatter or anti-Stokes Raman scatter and primary Rayleigh scatter resulting from the primary light source and secondary Rayleigh scatter resulting from the secondary light source, and a processor to determine temperature based on a ratio of the Stokes Raman scatter or the anti-Stokes Raman scatter and a combination of the primary Rayleigh scatter and the secondary Rayleigh scatter.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for verifying the age of an online user. The age and identity of at least one primary user is verified and the primary user provides an age of at least one secondary user. Content requests from the secondary user to access content from at least one online content provider are granted if the primary user has authorized the secondary user to access the content. A content provider delivers content by receiving an identifier and a content request from a secondary user to access content; redirecting the secondary user to a third party age verification server; receiving an indication from the third party age verification server that the secondary user has been authorized by a primary user to access the content; and granting the content request if the primary user has authorized the secondary user to access the content.
