20110234220SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMULATING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE WELL LOGGING TOOL DIFFUSION EDITING MEASUREMENTS ON A BENCH-TOP NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROMETER FOR LABORATORY-SCALE ROCK CORE ANALYSIS - A laboratory NMR methodology (and corresponding laboratory apparatus) defines a sample volume. The method stores downhole tool data corresponding to a hydrocarbon-bearing sample collected from a given subsurface formation. The downhole tool data includes parameters pertaining to magnetic fields used by a downhole tool during a suite of NMR measurements of the given subsurface formation. The sample is positioned in the sample volume of the laboratory apparatus, which applies a static magnetic field in the sample volume. Furthermore, the laboratory apparatus applies a suite of NMR measurements to the sample volume to thereby determine a property of the sample. The NMR measurements of the suite each include a pulse sequence of oscillating magnetic field in conjunction with a pulsed-mode gradient field. The pulsed-mode gradient field is based on the stored downhole tool data corresponding to the sample. A laboratory NMR methodology for optimizing downhole NMR measurements is also described.09-29-2011

20110206230Inertial vibration exciter - An inertial vibration exciter having a magnet assembly defining an annular gap, a coil assembly disposed in the annular gap, suspension means mounting the coil assembly for reciprocating movement in the gap, means coupling the coil assembly to a member to be vibrated, and a hermetically sealed housing in which the magnet assembly, the coil assembly, the suspension means and the coupling means are disposed. The housing may comprise a heat sink thermally coupled to the magnet assembly and the heat sink may be resiliently coupled to the housing. The coupling means may comprise a plate-like member to which the coil is rigidly attached and of a size substantially greater than the diameter of the coil. The plate-like member may be resiliently coupled to the housing. Mounting means such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive member may be positioned centrally on the plate-like coupling means and adapted to mount the inertial vibration exciter to the member to be vibrated, the mounting means being of a substantially smaller size than the coupling means to leave the periphery of the coupling means free to move.08-25-2011
