Patent number: 8319175Abstract: Methods and devices relating to a radiation detector comprising of a gas chamber having a cathode plate and a substrate separated by a gap. An array of nano-tips deposited on the substrate that forms an anode structure for electron charge collection. An external power source in communication with the cathode plate and the substrate, wherein the external power source is capable of generating a plurality of regions and each region includes an electric field near each nano-tip of the array of the nano-tips that results in initiating a radiation induced controlled discharge of electrons and ions from at least one gas or at least one gas mixture. Finally, the plurality of regions include multiple generated electric fields near tips of the array of nano-tips such as CNTs, that communicatively create a conductive path between the cathode plate and the substrate, the radiation detector is capable of determining at least one radiation property.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Zilu Zhou, Markus Berheide, Felix Chen, Bradley A.

Patent number: 8262909Abstract: A fluid separation method for performing fluid analysis of an unfiltered fluid. The fluid separation method includes providing a structure with a fluid analyzer and a power supply. Using a substrate for receiving a fluid flow stream of a multiphase mixture through a fluid sample inlet, wherein the substrate interconnects with the structure. Providing a membrane disposed across the fluid sample inlet for separating a fluid of interest from the multiphase mixture, wherein the fluid flow stream of the multiphase mixture has a shear rate that prevents a fouling of the membrane. Finally, the fluid separation method includes the substrate having fabricated channels, such that the fabricated channels are arranged substantially tangent to the fluid stream downstream of the porous membrane.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Dan Eugen Angelescu, Philippe Salamitou, Joyce Wong, Bhavani Raghuraman, Brian Oliver Clark, Christopher Harrison, Matthew Sullivan, Andreas Hausot, Florence Le Gallic de Kerizouet

Publication number: 20110011157Abstract: A carbon nanostructured micro-fabricated gas chromatography column which is particularly well-suited to the surface well-site and/or the downhole analysis of natural gas in oilfield or gasfield applications (but which may also be used in non-oilfield or non-gasfield situations) is described. This micro-fabricated column integrates a micro-structured substrate such as a silicon substrate with carbon nanotubes as an active nanostructured material in a micro-channel. Benefits of the present invention include enhanced separation of alkanes and isomers, particularly below hexane (i.e., below C6), as well as the separation of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and water and other substances present in natural gas. The chromatography column of the present invention is in one embodiment a part of an entire gas chromatograph system that in its simplest form also comprises an injector and a detector. Preferably the injector, separation column, and detector are all micro-fabricated on a substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2009Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventors: Bertrand Bourlon, Joyce Wong, Paul B. Guieze
