Publication number: 20110313670Abstract: Described herein are a method and apparatus for analyzing a gas sample that is conveyed in a drilling fluid, and a method and apparatus for liberating gases from drilling fluid. The gas sample contains one or more of methane, ethane, propane, and butane; optionally, the gas sample may also contain pentane. The gas sample is first liberated from the drilling fluid, following which it is irradiated with infrared radiation in the near-infrared range. Absorption spectra resulting from absorption of the infrared radiation by the one or more of methane, ethane, propane and butane is simultaneously detected. From the absorption spectra, the composition of the gas sample can be determined. The composition includes a concentration of any one or more of the methane, ethane, propane and butane. Linearity of absorption is increased by using relatively short wavelength infrared radiation centred on, for example, about 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: PASON SYSTEMS CORP.Inventors: Jason Alexander DeGreeve, Sean William Lyons Unrau, Marceau Ernest van Beurden, Ryan Henricus van Beurden

Publication number: 20050242673Abstract: A continuously rotating North seeking electro-magnet which attempts to align itself with the Earth's magnetic lines of force. The electro-magnet has the ability to change its polarity with each one-half revolution in the case of a unit with one electro-magnet only. With each half revolution the rotation is accelerated due to a boost given by the collapsing magnetic field in the electro-magnet at the moment of polarity reversal. The device is not self starting, starting from a external source of power, such as a battery. The device is connected to a generator which only requires that it be caused to rotate to develop electrical current. The output from this generator is then used to energize the electromagnet described in the first paragraph. The outside source of starting power may then be disconnected once the motor/generator is up to speed. The device is then running without a external source of power and will run continuously while generating electricity.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventor: William Lyons
