Responsible for design of data display section real- time directional logging system used to guide mud - motor drilling phases of oil bore holes. Related tasks: 1. Design of surface telemetry link from wire line skid to drilling platform; 2.Design of remote drillers readout unit located on drilling platform, involving development of precision subminiature dc motor drives, shaft angle encoder readers and associated control loop electronics. Designed and patented a unique tool seating detector an indicator which used with real - time drilling direction indicators gave these products a competitive edge others in the drilling field did not enjoy. Great savings are realized by avoiding costly abortive tool surveys resulting from operating without reliable tool seating indicators. Responsible for the design and development of several types of ac precision gyroscope motor drive circuits used in our gyroscopic tools. Designed a special optical shaft angle measurement system "pick-off" for use in our real - time gyroscopic drilling tools. This system boasts high precision (12 bits) and ability to operate in a 350F severe temperature environment. Developed an on - site ruggedized printing device for use with the real - time drilling tool series. Responsible for the hardware and software used in this microprocessor based device. (Intersil IM6100 using PDP8 programming codes). Researched and developed a sophisticated mathematical technique based on matrix algebra for correction of compass vectors derived from sets of cosine-law devices within the drilling survey tools. I then drew up a new alignment procedure based on this new technique and implemented the mathematical corrections with a program written for the HP 41C programmable calculator.
