  • Method and system of determining a parameter associated with a formation corrected for neutrons produced
    Patent number: 8692185
    Abstract: Determining a parameter associated with a formation corrected for neutrons produced. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: disposing a logging tool within a borehole, the borehole penetrates a formation; producing neutrons by a neutron source within the logging tool; detecting neutrons produced by the neutron source, the detecting by a neutron detector; creating an indication of a number of neutrons produced by the neutron source, the indication based only on neutrons detected that have not interacted with other elements before entering the neutron detector; obtaining a count rate of a gamma detector responsive to the production of neutrons by the neutron source; and determining a parameter associated with the formation based on the count rate and on the indication of the number of neutrons produced.
    Type: Grant

  • Photomultiplier power supply with primary and secondary transformer windings
    Patent number: 7009162
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a photomultiplier power supply having a transformer with multiple secondary windings forming cells that can provide voltage ratios to a photomultiplier element in which the ratios can be adjusted by the method of connection to the cell, by the number of turns in the transformer, or by a combination of both.
