20120139250 | Apparatus for Downhole Power Generation - Apparatus is provided for use in power generation, including a fluid-flow-driven power generator for use in a fluid-containing pipe such as a drill pipe as used in oil and gas exploration and extraction. Parts of the generator are adapted to be removable from the pipe—for example while a drill pipe is downhole within a drilling well—to leave a clear through bore for survey and fishing operations and to enable replacement of the removed parts. The removable part may be a flow control assembly, which includes an adjustable flow control nozzle or which receives any one of a set of different size nozzles. The flow-driven generator comprises an impeller connected to a magnet assembly to rotate the magnet assembly when fluid flows past the impeller. This causes relative movement between the magnet assembly and an adjacent electrical coil assembly, the relative movement and magnetic coupling generating an electrical current in the coil assembly. This generated electrical current is used to power electrical devices within the pipe. | 06-07-2012 |

20130021098 | INTEGRATOR DISTORTION CORRECTION CIRCUIT - A system and method for reducing gain error and distortion in an operational amplifier due to errors in the second or integrator stage. A correction circuit may replicate an error current and insert the current into the signal stream to preempt the induction of an error at the amplifier's input. A capacitor may sample the error voltage at the input of the integrator stage of the amplifier and generate a replica of the error current in the integration capacitor to feed it into the input of the integrator stage. This eliminates any nonlinearity errors created by error currents in the compensation or integration capacitor at the second or integrator stage of the two-stage amplifier. Feeding the error current to the integrator stage may be facilitated with a unity gain buffer and a current mirror. | 01-24-2013 |
