A method and apparatus for establishing a large number of EDTOV timers, each determining when an event has failed to occur on an exchange of a communications protocol. Values for each timer are maintained as a timer array. The entire timer array is read at regular scan intervals by a state machine and decremented by four associated hardware decrementers, four timers at one time. A Scan Interval va...

In a method for determining the orientation of a borehole from measurements of the gravity and magnetic fields within the borehole, the hole azimuth is obtained corrected for sources of permanent, induced and electrically caused magnetic interference. Information on these sources and on the earth's magnetic field is computed as a by product so that in the fullest application of the invention no pr...
