Abstract: A downhole explosive detonation comprises a high voltage electro-explosive initiator comprising an input high voltage power supply with a low impedance shunting fuse, a flexible electrical link and a capacitor discharge unit. Explosive is initiated in a direction approximately parallel, or in another version perpendicular to the capacitor discharge unit. A unique configuration and construction of the assembly allows installation through a small service port in the gun housing structure for more efficient gun arming. A real time downhole voltage monitoring is described that transmits voltage readings to the surface during a firing sequence.

Abstract: A technique that is usable with a subterranean well includes orienting shaped charges of a perforating gun to extend partially around a longitudinal axis of the gun. The perforating gun is oriented in the well to direct the shaped charges away from a water boundary. In response to this orientation of the perforating gun, the shaped charges are fired. The perforating gun and shaped charges may also be oriented in a deviated well to compensate for the anisotropic permeability of a formation.

Abstract: A seismic acquisition system includes one or more perforating shaped charge modules activable to generate seismic signals into an earth sub-surface. The seismic signals are created by perforating jets formed by the perforating shaped charge modules when activated. The perforating jets produce directional seismic signals that reduce the amount of lateral noise. One or more detectors are employed to receive signals reflected from the earth sub-surface in response to the seismic signals.

Abstract: A holding unit is provided to support an ingot in a semiconductor wafer sawing machine, which minimizes the instability of a blade during a sawing process. The holding unit is formed from substantially the same material as an ingot resting thereon. The holding unit includes a top surface for receiving an ingot, a bottom surface, a pair of side walls, and a cavity formed in the holding unit. The cavity forms a plurality of break points in the holding unit. When contacted by the blade, the holding unit fractures at the break points to minimize the chipping of the wafer.

Abstract: In a microprocessor embodiment (26), the microprocessor is operable to multi-task a plurality of programs, wherein the plurality of programs include a virtual program (38, 40) operable in a virtual mode and a monitor program (36) in a protected mode. The microprocessor includes an interrupt handling circuit (30) for executing an interrupt handler in response to a hardware interrupt request signal (HIM.cndot.INTR). The microprocessor further includes an interrupt flag bit (IF) set in a like manner in both the virtual mode and the protected mode. The interrupt flag bit is set in a first state to inhibit receipt of the hardware interrupt request signal by the interrupt handling circuit, and the interrupt flag bit is set in a second state to enable receipt of the hardware interrupt request signal by the interrupt handling circuit. The microprocessor further includes a virtual mode control signal (VM.cndot.VME), wherein the virtual mode control signal is set in a first state to indicate a program is operating in a virtual mode and is set in a second state to indicate a program is not operating in a virtual mode. Still further, the microprocessor includes a mask bit (HIM) and circuitry (46) for copying the state of the interrupt flag bit to the mask bit when the virtual mode control signal is set in the second state. The copying circuitry does not copy in this manner when the virtual mode control signal is set in the first state. Still further, the microprocessor includes circuitry (INTR) for receiving an external interrupt request signal, and logic circuitry (52) for presenting the hardware interrupt request to said interrupt handling circuit in response to a combination of the external interrupt request signal and the mask bit.
