| 20110263925 | Pulsed Magnetic Therapy Device - A device for treating diseases and chronic ailments of the human body by inducing powerful, short duration magnetic pulses in close proximity to a region of the body. The device comprises an electromagnetic coil or inductor energized by an electric circuit and a power source, pulsed between 1 and 25 pulses per second for therapeutic means and use as an alternative medical treatment. The device comprises an electric circuit that transmits pulsating current to an induction coil placed within a handheld stylus device for introducing a high energy, pulsed magnetic field to target locations on the body. The stylus is placed against the human body and introduces the pulsating magnetic field into and through body tissue, bone and the bloodstream. The stylus is completely noninvasive and provides a means to direct magnetic energy to a specific part of the body. The device is an advancement in the art, and one that provides increased magnetic energy and pulse frequency without the use of Xenon flash tubes that consume large quantities of power. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20080273422 | METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING SHEAR WAVE FORMATION ANISOTROPY - A method of characterizing shear wave anisotropy in a formation includes obtaining crossed-dipole waveforms from a borehole penetrating the formation over a range of depths and frequencies, determining far-field slowness in a fast-shear and slow-shear direction using a low-frequency portion of the crossed-dipole waveforms, and determining near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear and slow-shear directions using a high-frequency portion of the crossed-dipole waveforms. The method also includes marking a selected depth of the formation as having intrinsic anisotropy if at the selected depth the far-field slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the far-field slowness in the slow-shear direction and the near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the near-wellbore slowness in the slow-shear direction. The selected depth is marked as having stress-induced anisotropy if the far-field slowness in the fast-shear direction is less than the far-field slowness in the slow-shear direction and the near-wellbore slowness in the fast-shear direction is greater than the near-wellbore slowness in the slow-shear direction. | 11-06-2008 |
