    Abstract: Embodiments include methods (and related systems, devices, and apparatuses) for determining a sorption separation factor for a binary gas mixture by applying a magnetic field to at least a portion of a sorbent (604) disposed in a chamber of a magnetic susceptibility device; directing a first gas stream including a first gas compound into the chamber at a first pressure and temperature to obtain a first magnetic susceptibility measurement; directing a second gas stream including a second gas compound into the chamber at a second pressure and temperature to obtain a second magnetic susceptibility measurement; directing a binary gas mixture including the first gas compound and the second gas compound into the chamber at a third pressure and temperature to obtain a third magnetic susceptibility measurement; and determining a sorption separation factor based on the first, the second, and the third magnetic susceptibility measurements.

    Abstract: Digital logic voltage regulators and related methods generate a regulated voltage via controlled switching of a power transistor. A digital logic voltage regulator includes a voltage level comparator, a power transistor, and a charge accumulator. The voltage level comparator generates a digital control signal that alternates between a first voltage level and a second voltage level in response to changes in relative voltage level between the regulated output voltage and the target voltage. The digital control signal causes the power transistor to switch from off to on in response to a reduction of the regulated output voltage relative to the target voltage and causes the power transistor to switch from on to off in response to an increase of the regulated output voltage relative to the target voltage. The charge accumulator decreases variation in the regulated output voltage that would occur without the charge accumulator.

    Abstract: Vortex Tubes and related methods of separating an airflow into a hot airflow and a cold airflow employ a secondary airflow inlet. A Vortex Tube includes a secondary airflow inlet that injects a swirling airflow aligned with a central region of the lumen of a circulating tube. The secondary airflow inlet includes a swirl generator that generates the vorticity of the swirling airflow. The injected swirling airflow increase the inner vortex strength thereby increasing the temperature difference between the hot airflow and the cold airflow.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a core plug holding apparatus including a tubular member configured to be inserted into a side pocket of a mandrel, the tubular member having an uphole end, a downhole end, and a core plug section located between the uphole end and the downhole end, wherein the core plug section is used for housing of one or more core plug samples and wherein tubular member includes one or more orifices formed in the core plug section. Embodiments include a method of sampling a well including deploying one or more core plug holding apparatuses into one or more side pocket mandrels of a completion; holding the one or more core plug holding apparatuses in the one or more side pocket mandrels for an incubation period; and retrieving the one or more core plug holding apparatuses from the one or more side pocket mandrels after the passage of the incubation period.
