20120084009REFINED LITHOLOGY CURVE - A method for estimating a property of an earth formation penetrated by a borehole. The method includes: conveying a natural radiation detector through the borehole and measuring natural radiation emitted from the earth formation to provide natural radiation data; conveying a neutron source through the borehole and irradiating the earth formation with neutrons; measuring neutron-interaction radiation emitted from the earth formation due to the irradiating with at least one neutron-interaction radiation detector to provide neutron-interaction data; conveying a borehole image logging tool through the borehole and measuring a resistivity of the earth formation by transmitting electrical current or electromagnetic energy into the earth formation and receiving an electrical signal associated with the resistivity due to the transmitting to provide resistivity data; and combining the natural radiation data, the neutron-interaction radiation data, and the resistivity data into one data set as a function of depth to estimate the property.04-05-2012

20110004647OFFSET-FREE SINC INTERPOLATOR AND RELATED METHODS - An offset free sinc interpolating filter includes differentiators operating at a first sampling frequency, integrators operating at a second sampling frequency and one or more coefficient multipliers. The coefficient multipliers multiply a received value with a constant coefficient value to generate an output value. The differentiators, integrators and coefficient multipliers can be operatively coupled to each other, either directly or through other components such as adders and delay elements, or by a combination of the two. In operation, an input signal is provided to the sinc interpolating filter at the first sampling frequency. The input signal is processed by the differentiators, integrators and coefficient multipliers to generate an output signal at the second sampling frequency. Once the output signal is generated, the integrators are reset before the next input cycle begins.01-06-2011

20100121897Filter Block for Compensating Droop in a Frequency Response of a Signal - The invention may provide a method and filter block for compensating droop in a frequency response of a signal. The filter block may include a decimator, which decimates a high frequency input signal to a set frequency output signal. The set frequency can be, for example, the Nyquist frequency for the input signal. Further, the filter block may include a droop compensator that compensates the droop in the frequency response of the output signal from the decimator. The droop compensator may be made using recursive filters, as opposed to large tap FIR filters, which may result in less memory consumption and decreased power consumption.05-13-2010
