Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to monitor a first condition associated with transmitting or receiving a signal in a formation or on a drill string, or both, over a first selected interval of a drill string located down hole; to monitor a second condition associated with transmitting or receiving the signal in the formation or on the drill string or both, over a second selected interval of the drill string; to compare the first condition to the second condition to provide a comparison result; and based on the comparison result, to select one of the first selected interval or the second selected interval to transmit or receive the signal in the formation or on the drill string, or both. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: monitoring a first condition of a first selected interval of a drill string located down hole, the first condition associated with one of a signal propagation in a formation, a signal propagation on the drill string, or a signal propagation both in the formation and on the drill string, and associated with a stress monitored by a first strain sensor in the first selected interval monitoring a second condition of a second selected inte…
