Filed:

Apr 18, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/837794

Inventors:

Bikash K. Sinha - Redding CT
Robert Burridge - Boston MA
Michael R. Kane - Bethel CT

Assignee:

Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Ridgefield CT

International Classification:

G01V 140

US Classification:

702 6, 367 31

Abstract:

A method for determining a radial profile of sonic shear velocity of formations surrounding a fluid-containing borehole, including: suspending a logging device in the borehole; transmitting sonic energy from the logging device to establish flexural waves in the formation; receiving sonic energy from the flexural waves and producing, from the received sonic energy, measurement signals at a number of frequencies; determining, at each frequency, the flexural wave velocity in the formation; deriving sonic compressional and shear velocities of the substantially undisturbed formation; deriving sonic compressional velocity of the borehole fluid; and determining the radial profile of sonic shear velocity from the derived compressional and shear velocities of the substantially undisturbed formation, the derived compressional velocity of the borehole fluid, and the flexural wave velocities.

Assignee:

Mattel, Inc. - El Segundo CA

International Classification:

A47D 1310

US Classification:

2972702, 2972716, 2972705

Abstract:

A support frame for a infant or child support device is disclosed. The frame includes oval shaped side members that provide a wide, safe base and a smooth rocking action to the rocker. The kickstand may be used to convert the support frame from a rocking configuration into a stable, non-rocking configuration. The support frame may also include a seat that can be removed from the support frame.

Inventors:

Michael T. Kane - Fairport NY, US

Assignee:

Blue Ridge International Products Company - Freeport FL

International Classification:

G02B007/182

US Classification:

359879, 359872, 359878

Abstract:

A viewing panel device, such as a mirror device used inside a motor vehicle for observing an infant in a rear-facing child safety seat secured to the rear seat of the vehicle. In one embodiment, a support structure is attached to a rear surface of the viewing panel. In a more particular embodiment, the support structure includes a bottom panel having a top surface and a bottom surface that can contact the seat back top surface, and a diagonal support element that extends between the rear surface of the viewing panel at an upper end of the support element and the top surface of the bottom panel at a lower end of the support element. In another embodiment, the viewing panel device may be employed in a plurality of attachment configurations, for use with a plurality of possible vehicle configurations. In one configuration, the top tether anchorage point included in newer vehicles as part of the LATCH anchorage point system is employed.
