Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the slowness of a geological formation using waveforms recorded by an acoustic borehole logging tool. Phase slowness coherence is extracted from the recorded waveforms after transformation to the frequency domain (804) at various frequencies (806), and this is converted into a formation slowness curve (808) which can be used as an objective function from which an anomaly, such as a local maximum or minimum (810), can be identified as representative of an estimate of the formation slowness.

In one embodiment, first and second microcomponents having respective first and second contact areas are provided. A junction compound is formed on one of the first and second contact areas, and the first and second contact areas are positioned adjacent each other on opposing sides of the junction compound. The junction compound is then activated to couple the first and second microcomponents.

Abstract: Multi-level structures are formed in a semiconductor substrate by first forming a pattern of lines or structures of different widths. Width information on the pattern is decoded by processing steps into level information to form a MEMS structure. The pattern is etched to form structures having a first floor. The structures are oxidized until structures of thinner width are substantially fully oxidized. A portion of the oxide is then etched to expose the first floor. The first floor is then etched to form a second floor. The oxide is then optionally removed, leaving a multi-level structure. In one embodiment, high aspect ratio comb actuators are formed using the multi-level structure process.

Abstract: A method for determining formation shear slowness of formations surrounding an earth borehole that includes: transmitting sonic energy into the formations from a dipole source in the borehole; measuring signals from orthogonal wave components that have traveled through the formations at each of a plurality of receiver locations in the borehole, spaced at a respective plurality of distances from the transmitter location; transforming the signals to the frequency domain and separating dispersive and non-dispersive portions of the transformed signals; and determining fast and slow shear slowness of the formation from the low frequency asymptotes of the dispersive portions of the transformed signals. Related methods for determining shear directionality and the magnitude of anisotropy of anisotropic formations surrounding an earth borehole and associated apparatus are also described.
