Patent number: 10386320Abstract: The present invention, in one set of embodiments, provides methods and systems for integrating conducting diamond electrodes into a high power acoustic resonator. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, in certain embodiments of the present invention, diamond electrodes may be integrated into a high power acoustic resonator to provide a robust sensing device that may provide for acoustic cleaning of the electrodes and increasing the rate of mass transport to the diamond electrodes. The diamond electrodes may be used as working, reference or counter electrodes or a combination of two or more of such electrodes. In certain aspects, the high power acoustic resonator may include an acoustic horn for focusing acoustic energy and the diamond electrodes may be coupled with the acoustic horn.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Clive E. Hall, Li Jiang, Timothy G. J. Jones, Andrew Meredith, Nathan S. Lawrence, Markus Pagels

Publication number: 20100315645Abstract: An optical element, which may be part of a system for optical analysis of a material in contact with it, is kept clean by means of the vibrations of a high power acoustic resonator. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, in certain embodiments of the present invention, one or more optical interfacial elements may be integrated with a high power acoustic resonator to provide a robust sensing device that may provide for acoustic cleaning of the optical interfacial elements and/or combining optical and acoustic measurements made by the integrated system for analysis purposes. In certain aspects, the high power acoustic resonator may include an acoustic horn for focusing acoustic energy and the optical interfacial elements may be integrated with the acoustic horn.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2010Publication date: December 16, 2010Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Clive E.
