Electro-acoustic transducer
An electro-acoustic transducer includes a tubular body extending a longitudinal direction and having two end portions, opposing each other longitudinally, and internally having a first chamber, sending with the first end portion and a second chamber, on one side adjacent to and in fluidic communication with the first chamber and on the other side ending with the second end portion. The first end portion is closed towards the outside by a membrane applied to the tubular body. The second end portion has openings that put it in fluidic communication to the outside of the tubular body. The first chamber containing electrical windings arranged in succession to each other in the longitudinal direction. The second chamber is filled with a liquid. A movable element is housed in the first chamber and has a permanent magnets packaged and arranged one above the other, with the magnetization alternating and separated.
Sharpening data representations of subterranean formations
The disclosure presents a process for sharpening an image data representation of collected measurements from a subterranean formation. The sharpening process utilizes an azimuthal filter applied to azimuthal radial ranges around a borehole to designate azimuthal bins. The azimuthal filter utilizes a set of filter coefficients to modify an azimuthal target bin. The set of filter coefficients is a devolution set as it contains at least one positive and one negative filter coefficient. The filter ratio of positive to negative filter coefficients can be adjusted utilizing the statistical uncertainty of the collected measurements and a targeted filter ratio. In some aspects, an axial filter process, also using a binning methodology, can be applied to the collected measurements, where the azimuthal and axial filtered values can be combined for the final image representation. The azimuthal and axial processes can be executed in serial or parallel process flows.

An affixable device can include a locking mechanism, a force-limiting mechanism, and a sensing mechanism. The locking mechanism can include an engagement component configured to disable the locking mechanism. The force-limiting mechanism can be configured to limit a locking force of the locking mechanism. The sensing mechanism can be coupled to the engagement component, and can be configured to determine that the force-limiting mechanism has limited the locking force of the locking mechanism. In response to determining the force-limiting mechanism limiting the locking force, the sensing mechanism can cause the engagement component to disable the locking mechanism.
