Abstract:
A wall engaging pad for well logging comprises a face portion of electrically conductive material within which are disposed three or more current electrodes. The survey current emitted from the current electrodes is differently focussed. A suitable current return is furnished. A plurality of individual measurements having respective graduated depths of investigation are obtained and suitably processed to yield resistivity measurements. The body of the sonde carrying the pad may be used to enhance the focussing of the survey current.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an externally loaded pressure sensor using a pair of SAW devices formed on the wall of an interior cavity. The difference frequency of these devices is used as a temperature-compensated measure of hydrostatic pressure on the sensor exterior. The termal response time of the sensor is shortened by matching to each other the sensor wall thicknesses adjacent the two SAW devices, e. g. , by making these wall thicknesses approximately the same by means of forming an external flat on the sensor body.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an externally loaded pressure sensor using a pair of SAW devices formed on the wall of an interior cavity. The difference frequency of these devices is used as a temperature-compensated measure of hydrostatic pressure on the sensor exterior. The cavity wall immediately adjacent the long sides of at least one of the SAW devices is rounded, to improve pressure sensitivity without unacceptable increase in stresses or other adverse effects.
