Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus, system, and method may operate to determine the density of drilling fluid associated with photon activity in the drilling fluid using an array of nuclear detectors. Further activity may include determining acoustic impedance of the drilling fluid as a combination of the density and acoustic velocity. Additional apparatus and systems, as well as methods, are disclosed.
