Abstract: System and method for automatic analysis and determination of a parameter. Measurement data are obtained from one or more sensors deployed to measure a desired parameter, the data being associated to identified locations. The measured data are processed to parse out the data obtained with at least one sensor configured to provide a measurement of a selected subsurface parameter and examined to automatically output a value determined to be the most accurate value for the selected parameter from the obtained measurement data.

Abstract: A well logging instrument deployment device includes a housing configured to be coupled to a pipe string. A carrier sub is disposed inside the housing and configured to move longitudinally inside the housing. At least one well logging instrument is coupled to the carrier sub. A latch is configured to retain the well logging instrument and carrier sub in a first longitudinal position along the housing such that the well logging instrument is disposed entirely inside the housing. The latch is configured to retain the well logging instrument and carrier in a second position such that at least a portion of the well logging instrument extends outwardly from the housing.

Abstract: A balloon catheter for use with a guide wire in angioplasty includes a main shaft which is a flexible tube which has an inflatable balloon at its distal end. The inflatable balloon is attached at its proximal and distal ends to and surrounds a guide wire director. The guide wire extends through the catheter by extending through the shaft, through the guide wire director, and out the distal end of the balloon. Located within the interior of the balloon is an inflation valve and a deflation valve used to provide a fluid tight seal around the guide wire during balloon inflation and deflation.
