  • Publication number: 20080078544
    Abstract: An analysis system, tool, and method for performing downhole fluid analysis, such as within a wellbore. The analysis system, tool, and method provide for a tool including a spectroscope for use in downhole fluid analysis which utilizes an adaptive optical element such as a Micro Mirror Array (MMA) and two distinct light channels and detectors to provide real-time scaling or normalization.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20070229821
    Abstract: A spectroscope designed to utilize an adaptive optical element such as a micro mirror array (MMA) and two distinct light channels and detectors. The devices can provide for real-time and near real-time scaling and normalization of signals.

  • Publication number: 20050135546
    Abstract: Optical corrosion monitoring and detection systems as well as methods to detect and monitor corrosion under process conditions and generally in real time using electromagnetic radiation, particularly light. The systems generally provide for incident light to be allowed to reflect from a coating which is exposed to the corroding action of the process stream. As the coating is corroded, the intensity, or other function, of the incident light is changed and this change is detected and used to extrapolate a level of corrosion.
