Title: Data set inversion using source-receiver compression
Inventor: ABUBAKAR ARIA
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2011-03-30
Abstract: Source-receiver compression is used to help design surveys and mitigate the computational costs of data set inversion. The source-receiver compression is based on data redundancy and sensitivity. More particularly, a compressed source array is produced for minimum redundancy and maximum sensitivity to reservoir model parameters. The synthesized transmitter array has a reduced number of sources, thereby reducing the number of forward model simulations needed to carry out the inversion. Furthermore, the data collected at the receivers employed in the survey can be compressed. This has the implication of reducing the computational cost of constructing the Jacobian matrix and inverting the corresponding Hessian matrix.

Title: Apparatus and method for detecting defects in a metallic surface
Inventor: NORTHERN ROBERT
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 2012-06-12
Abstract: An apparatus for detecting defects in a rotating metal surface such as a mill roll 12 comprises a test head 10 including an eddy coil which is movable relative to the surface along scan paths. An oscillating signal induced at the eddy coil is received and recorded as the coil is moved along each path. A representation of the received oscillating signal in relation to each scan path is outputted on a display 16. The received signal is displayed as raw data (Figure 2a) which is not demodulated so that circumferential defects can be seen as changes in wave frequency. Demodulated data indicates longitudinal defects (Figure 2b). Defect location is facilitated by a further function of the apparatus, by which user input to an interface causes a light source 14 to illuminate a selected part of the metallic surface.
