Abstract: A technique facilitates protection of a sensitive component, e.g. a well tool component, against shock and vibration. The sensitive component may be positioned in a mechanical chassis which is mounted in a housing. The mechanical chassis is mounted in the housing via a damper system which may comprise various vibration and shock absorbing components, such as a vibration damper, a transverse shock damper, and/or an axial damper. In drilling applications, the housing may be coupled into a drill string although the damper system may be used in other types of applications.

Abstract: A fluid sampling and analysis module for a downhole fluid characterization apparatus configured for operation downhole, within a borehole. The fluid sampling and analysis module comprises a primary flowline for fluids withdrawn from a formation to flow through the fluid sampling and analysis module, a bypass flowline in fluid communication with the primary flowline and a single valve, interconnecting the primary flowline and the bypass flowline, operable to a first position for formation fluids to flow in the primary flowline and to a second position for formation fluids to flow, via the bypass flowline, in the primary flowline.

Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing subterranean formation fluids includes a downhole tool, a fluid analysis module disposed in the downhole tool, a formation fluid flow path through the fluid analysis module, first and second cavities disposed in the fluid analysis module, and first and second windows disposed in first and second cavities of the fluid analysis module, respectively. The first and second windows each comprise a polished external sealing surface enabling high pressure fluid isolation.
