Abstract: The power surfer is a simple device that is used to convert most of the wind driven sailboards or windsurfers being produced these days into a surfboard which can easily be pulled behind a boat or other type of watercraft.

Abstract: A generalized computer-based system and method for acquisition of nuclear well logging data, including downhole generation of spectral information. A downhole instrument traverses a borehole introducing high energy neutrons into the formation at prescribed depths. Resultant gamma rays are detected and converted into pulses which are amplified and conditioned. For acquiring temporal spectral data, a multi-channel scale section is provided which includes a channel number generator which produces a numerical sequence of memory address codes corresponding to a sequence of adjacent time windows. Each code uniquely defines a start time, whereby the windows collectively comprise the time interval of the desired spectrum. Each time a gamma ray pulse is detected, the memory address generated at that time addresses a corresponding memory location and increments the count value resident therein.
