Title: Innovations by Koen Antonie Noy
Introduction
Koen Antonie Noy is a notable inventor based in Almerehout, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of drilling technology, holding two patents that enhance measurement accuracy during drilling operations. His work is primarily associated with Baker Hughes Corporation, a leading company in the oil and gas industry.
Latest Patents
Noy's latest patents include a measurement-while-drilling assembly utilizing gyroscopic devices and methods for bias removal. This invention provides a downhole assembly for drilling boreholes that employs gyroscopes, magnetometers, and accelerometers to determine borehole inclination and azimuth. The assembly features a gyroscope that is rotatably mounted within a tool housing, generating signals related to the earth's rotation. A processor in the tool combines measurements from various sensors to eliminate systematic bias before further processing. Additionally, accelerometers in the tool provide gravity measurements, which are essential for determining toolface and inclination. The unbiased gyroscopic measurements, along with toolface and inclination data, are used to ascertain azimuth and toolface relative to true north.
Another significant patent involves apparatus for measuring the earth's local gravity and magnetic field in conjunction with global positioning. This invention utilizes signals from multiple GPS receivers and a 3-component accelerometer to determine the roll, yaw, and pitch angles of a stable non-magnetic platform. The processor also incorporates data from a 3
