    Abstract: The current disclosure is related to a downhole tool that comprises an electronic photon generator and at least one detector. The electronic photon generator comprises a cathode configured to emit electrons, a first target configured to generate photons when struck by the electrons, a second target configured to generate photons when struck by the electrons, and a beam steering device that directs the electrons to a first or second target. The at least one detector is configured to detect at least some of the photons emitted by the first target and at least some of the photons emitted by the second target.

    Abstract: A radiation generator may include an elongate generator housing having a proximal end and a distal end, a target electrode within the housing at the distal end thereof, a charged particle source within the housing at the proximal end thereof to direct charged particles at the target based upon a first biasing potential, and a field shaping electrode within the housing and adjacent the source to shape a field within the housing. At least one accelerator electrode may be within the housing on an opposite side of the field shaping electrode from the source to accelerate charged particles from the source to the target based upon a second biasing potential different than the first biasing potential. The field shaping electrode may be electrically floating so that the charged particles are directed from the source to the target without applying a biasing potential to the field shaping electrode.

    Abstract: A method of operating a thermal system implementing a ground-source heat pump includes receiving design parameters associated with a design of the thermal system and receiving one or more measurement inputs associated with a flow of a thermal fluid through a borefield of a ground heat exchanger. The method further includes, based on the measurement inputs and the design parameters, predicting one or more predicted thermal values of the thermal fluid using a forward model. The method further includes predicting one or more predicted borefield parameters of the borefield based on inverting the forward model. The method further includes monitoring the thermal system based on the predicted borefield parameters.

    Abstract: A thermal system for a facility includes a facility fluid circuit, a ground-source heat pump, and an air-source heat pump. The ground-source heat pump and the air-source heat pump each include a fluid circuit connected to the facility fluid circuit in parallel via a common facility heat exchanger. The ground-source heat pump includes a ground-source heat exchanger for transferring heat between a ground-source working fluid and a downhole fluid of a downhole fluid circuit. The air-source heat pump includes an air-source heat exchanger for transferring heat between an air-source working fluid and an ambient air. Heat can be transferred, at the facility heat exchanger, between the facility fluid and one or more of the ground-source working fluid or the air-source working fluid in order to provide thermal heating, cooling, or both to the facility.
