20110277996 | SUBTERRANEAN FLOW BARRIERS CONTAINING TRACERS - Some aspects of the present disclosure include monitoring fluid flow in a subterranean reservoir. In some implementations, a sealant mixture is injected into a subterranean reservoir to form a flow barrier in the subterranean reservoir. The sealant mixture includes a sealant material and a tracer. The tracer may be stored in the flow barrier, and the tracer may be displaced from the flow barrier, for example, by fluid flow in the subterranean reservoir. The displaced tracer may be detected, for example, in fluid produced into a well bore in the subterranean reservoir. Fluid flow in the subterranean reservoir may be analyzed based on detection of the tracer. | 11-17-2011 |
20110313667 | Analyzing Borehole Seismic Data to Locate Subsurface Diffractors - A system and method for locating subsurface diffractors. The method operates on two-dimensional (2-D) seismic data that includes one or more 2-D seismic lines. The 2-D seismic data may be preprocessed to enhance diffracted energy. For each hypothetical diffractor location in a set of hypothetical diffractor locations, the method involves analyzing at least a subset of the seismic traces of the one or more 2-D seismic lines, in order to compute a value indicating an extent to which those seismic traces contain diffraction arrivals consistent with the hypothetical diffractor location. The method may further involve generating, storing and displaying an image (or map) based on the computed values. The image may illustrate areas of high, intermediate and low diffraction, and may be used to assess the formation. | 12-22-2011 |

20080238457 | NANOSCALE FAULT ISOLATION AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEM - Disclosed is a fault isolation and measurement system that provides multiple near-field scanning isolation techniques on a common platform. The system incorporates the use of a specialized holder to supply electrical bias to internal circuit structures located within an area of a device or material. The system further uses a multi-probe assembly. Each probe is mounted to a support structure around a common reference point and is a component of a different measurement or fault isolation tool. The assembly moves such that each probe can obtain measurements from the same fixed location on the device or material. The relative positioning of the support structure and/or the holder can be changed in order to obtain measurements from multiple same fixed locations within the area. Additionally, the system uses a processor for providing layered images associated with each signal and for precisely aligning those images with design data in order to characterize, or isolate fault locations within the device or material. | 10-02-2008 |

20100175548 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE REDUCTION OF MUZZLE JUMP IN FIREARMS AND WEAPONS - Muzzle jump of projectile-firing guns and weapons systems is significantly reduced by creating a momentum, rotating in the direction opposite to the rotational direction of the momentum causing muzzle jump by redirecting not a gas flow produced by a blast of ammunition but redirecting a projectile traveling through the barrel. The barrel is bent in such a way that curvature of the bend is made convex in relation to the support of said gun or systems. The plane of said curvature coincides with the plane of the momentum created by recoil of the said gun or system. Since the projectile possesses significantly bigger mass than escaping gases, the created contra-momentum is much bigger than the one which could be achieved by redirecting a flow of escaping gases so it could be sufficient to completely negate momentum created by recoil force of said projectiles firing gun or weapon system. In preferred embodiment there is an attachable device which allows adjustment of the bend angle by rotating a skewed extension of the barrel in the skewed cylindrical opening of said attachable device's housing. Said device can provide relatively inexpensive implementation of the suggested concept. It is understood that the aiming system of the weapon needs to be realigned to accommodate probable change in the trajectory of the projectile. | 07-15-2010 |
