Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Methods for recovering a LWD or MWD data signal in the presence of mud pump noise are provided and generally comprise calibrating the drilling mud pressure as a function of the mud pump piston position, and then tracking the piston position during transmission of the LWD or MMD data signal and using the calibration information to subtract out the mud pump noise. Calibration is accomplished in the absence of the LWD or MWD data signal to provide a correlation between mud pump piston position and the drilling mud pressure. Then, when the LWD or MWD data signal is being generated, the mud pump piston position is tracked such that the pressure due to the pump can be subtracted and the LWD or …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 1, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 1, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 1, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
