Patent number: 9153050Abstract: A visualization system for visualizing data obtained in a borehole includes a processor configured to process the data based on user input and instructions and provide output for display on a display device. The system may also include a computer-readable medium configured to store the instructions, the instructions including commands to output values of two or more types of parameters at two or more depth values. The instructions may include commands to provide a perspective top-down or bottom-up fly-through display of the borehole including a zoomed-in image of values closest to a user. The processor may also output a display of a photographic image at each of the two or more depth values based on a correspondence between the values of the two or more types of parameters and the plurality of parameters associated with the photographic image.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: William T. Block, John G. Evans, Peter J. Guijt, Steven Pierce, William W. Scott, Joel W. Tarver, Mehran Richard Tayyab, Doron Hetz

Patent number: 3974698Abstract: A molten metal vacuum-type sampler for taking samples of molten metal from the mold used in an electroslag refining process while opposite voltages are applied across the electrode and the mold, the sampler being a box-shaped hollow body with a silica tube extending downwardly therefrom to be inserted through the slag cover into the molten metal for a few seconds to draw a metal sample into the hollow space of the sampler. The sampler has two insulation boards on opposite sides overlapping the sides to prevent an electrically conductive contact of the sampler with the nearby surfaces of the mold and the electrode. An insulated pipe attached to the top of the sampler forms a handle in its upper aspect and connects conduits and a valve optionally to an argon gas source or a vacuum reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1975Date of Patent: August 17, 1976Assignee: Lukens Steel CompanyInventor: William W. Scott, Jr.

Patent number: 3973076Abstract: A carbon brick/graphite lined furnace for melting, containing and pouring a special purpose slag composed of about 40 percent CaF.sub.2, 30 percent CaO and 30 percent Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 or a slag composed of about 70 percent CaF.sub.2 and 30 percent Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 which has a cylindrical configuration and a roof composed of high alumina ram refractory with openings therein for receiving heating electrodes composed of graphite, for feeding dry slag into the furnace and for exhausting fumes therefrom. The furnace has a pouring spout and the roof can be raised whereby the furnace is turnable about trunions for discharging the molten slag into an electroslag remelting process mold. Both the interior lining and the next surrounding lining are composed of graphite or carbon bricks or a combination thereof. An expansion layer of insulating material, powder alumina, surrounds the second lining. Following this are two further linings of refractory material.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1974Date of Patent: August 3, 1976Assignee: Lukens Steel CompanyInventors: William W.
