Abstract: Improved receiver antennas are disclosed for long offset tensor induction army logging tools. The disclosed antennas include a bobbin which accommodates a ferromagnetic core. The outer surface of the bobbin is wrapped around a binding so that winding is thicker or includes more turns towards a center of the bobbin and is thinner or includes less turns towards the outer ends of the bobbin. The result is that the primary winding with a curved or parabolic profile that enhances the effective magnetic permeability and magnetic moment of the antenna. A secondary winding may also be utilized for flux feedback compensation. The elimination of winding turns towards the ends of the magnetic coil result in reduced DC resistance and the reduction in parasitic capacitance of the antennas. The disclosed antennas may be used in x-y-z receiver arrays.

Abstract: Improved methods of soldering metallic parts having a portion of their surface forming non-planar surfaces, comprising arranging coaxially therewith a metallic means having favorable electromagnetic properties and a different coefficient of expansion from that of the metallic parts so that soldering is effected by the combined action of the heat effect supplied by electromagnetic induction and by radial pressure exerted by said metallic means.
