Abstract: An instrument assembly comprises an electronics housing disposed in a body of a downhole tool and an engagement element assembly connected to the electronics housing. The instrument assembly includes an engagement sensor positioned at a base of the engagement element assembly and configured to take measurements corresponding with an engagement of the engagement element assembly with a borehole. The instrument assembly includes an electronics housing seal configured to seal at least a portion of the electronics housing from a downhole pressure.

Abstract: A method of identifying a geothermal reservoir of an earth formation comprises receiving engagement data from an engagement sensor. The engagement data corresponds to an engagement of the instrumented engagement element with a borehole in the earth formation. The method includes identifying environment data from an environment sensor. The environment data corresponds to a downhole environment of the engagement data. The method includes mapping the engagement data to the environment data to generate mapped engagement data.

Abstract: A drill bit includes cutting elements and a displacement sensor deployed on a drill bit body. The displacement sensor includes an engagement piston disposed to translate axially in a sensor housing. The engagement piston includes an inner plunger and an opposing outer engagement element configured to engage a subterranean formation and is biased outward from the sensor housing. The displacement sensor further includes a position sensor configured to sense an axial position of the engagement piston in the sensor housing. An electronic controller is configured to determine a measured displacement from the sensed axial position of the engagement piston. The displacement sensor may enable depth of cut and rate of penetration measurements to be made while drilling.

Abstract: A method of identifying a geothermal reservoir of an earth formation comprises receiving engagement data from an engagement sensor. The engagement data corresponds to an engagement of the instrumented engagement element with a borehole in the earth formation. The method includes identifying environment data from a rotation sensor. The environment data corresponds to a downhole environment of the engagement data. The method includes mapping the engagement data to the environment data to generate mapped engagement data.

Abstract: A method of imaging an earth formation comprises identifying engagement data from an engagement sensor. The engagement data corresponds to an engagement of the instrumented engagement element with a borehole in the earth formation. The method includes identifying rotation data from a rotation sensor. The rotation data corresponds to a rotational orientation of the engagement data with respect to the borehole. The method includes mapping the engagement data to the rotation data to generate oriented engagement data.

Abstract: Disclosed are formulations of gamma-hydroxybutyrate in an aqueous medium that are resistant to microbial growth. Also disclosed are formulations of gammahydroxybutyrate that are also resistant to the conversion into GBL. Disclosed are methods to treat sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, with these stable formulations of GHB. The present invention also provides methods to treat alcohol and opiate withdrawal, reduced levels of growth hormone, increased intracranial pressure, and physical pain in a patient.
