A gradient amplifier arrangement is described that comprises a gradient amplifier power stage. The device may be employed to provide a current to a gradient coil, as in a MRI system. The circuitry disclosed includes a series coupling of a first bridge amplifier operating at a first voltage, a second bridge amplifier operating at a second voltage, a third bridge amplifier operating at a third voltage, and a gradient amplifier control stage. The amplifiers may provide output voltages at different levels, and may be switched at different times and frequencies to provide a range of output voltage and current levels.

An interactive display of results obtained from the inversion of logging data is produced by obtaining and inverting the logging data using a Monte-Carlo inversion. An interactive plot having a percentile scale plotted against a location parameter is produced and a particular percentile is selected using the interactive plot. A cross-section plot for the particular percentile using the results of the Monte-Carlo inversion is produced. The particular percentile can be a curve representing a best-fit solution or a polyline representing selected solutions. Background color/shading can be displayed on the interactive plot to indicate user-defined constraints have been applied. Uncertain features can be plotted on a corresponding cross-section display using fading. Clusters of solutions that are substantially equally likely, given the measurements at a particular drill location, can be identified and plotted. A cross-section constructed from the layered models belonging to a particular cluster can be overlaid on another cross-section.

A method and system for multi-domain route computation. In the invention, Path Computation Elements (PCEs) are placed in different layers and computation domains between upper and lower layer PCEs are mapped so that a computation task is divided into multiple computation tasks layer by layer and that the multi-domain route computation is finally fulfilled. The invention separates route computation from signaling and runs route computation tasks in parallel. Route establishment is done by signaling after route computation. The present invention may realize route computation based on complex Traffic Engineering (TE) constraints and enable end-to-end diverse route computation. The invention places PCEs in layers, allowing good scalability and high computation efficiency. The present invention is applicable to the Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) and the Multi-Protocol Label Switched Network Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) network.

Methods and systems are disclosed for characterizing the response of a subsurface resistivity measurement to determine a characteristic of a borehole within the subsurface and/or a characteristic of a formation surrounding the borehole. Generally the methods include obtaining subsurface resistivity measurement data with a well tool disposed within the borehole and fitting the obtained resistivity measurement data to an equivalent electric circuit model to determine the borehole and/or formation characteristic. The circuit model of these embodiments is representative of a response of the well tool to borehole and formation parameters. The systems generally include a well tool and an apparatus adapted to be coupled to the well tool. The apparatus includes means for receiving measurement data generated by the well tool, means for storing model parameters representative of a response of the well tool to borehole and formation properties, and means for comparing the received measurement data to the stored model parameters to determine the borehole and/or formation characteristic. The disclosed equivalent circuit model is characterized by an electric circuit having at least one resistor-in-parallel component.

A method is disclosed for compressing a frame of data representing parameter values, a time at which each parameter value was recorded, and an orientation of a sensor at the time each parameter value was recorded. Generally the method includes performing a two-dimensional transform on the data in the orientation domain and in a domain related to the recording time. In one embodiment, the method includes calculating a logarithm of each parameter value. In one embodiment, the 2-D transform includes generating a Fourier transform of the logarithm of the parameter values in the azimuthal domain, generating a discrete cosine transform of the transform coefficients in the time domain. This embodiment includes quantizing the coefficients of the Fourier transform and the discrete cosine transform. One embodiment of the method is adapted to transmit resistivity measurements made by an LWD instrument in pressure modulation telemetry so that while-drilling images of a wellbore can be generated. The one embodiment includes encoding the quantized coefficients, error encoding the encoded coefficients, and applying the error encoded coefficients to the pressure modulation telemetry.
