Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: A method for modeling fluid depletion in a reservoir is disclosed. A map is divided into cells. For each of the cells a value is stored that is based at least in part on a physical characteristic of the cell. At least one cell that contains a depletion location is identified along with a depletion amount corresponding to that location. A  number of walkers associated with the depletion location is determined. For each walker, a plurality of steps are calculated with each step to an adjacent cell. Each walker starts in the cell containing the depletion location associated with that walker.  The visits of all the walkers are recorded by cell. The fluid depletion of each cell is then assessed based at least in part on the number of walker visits for each cell.

Title: Dimpled recyclable substrate for an interior trim panel
Inventor: LIPKE CLARENCE P
IPC: B60R13/02
Filed: 2003-02-11
Abstract: An interior trim panel, such as a headliner, formed by a substrate composed of a fibrous or porous batt material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET).  The substrate includes a first, back side and second, front side. In order to increase the strength of the substrate, dimples or impressions are formed in the back side of the substrate and corresponding projections are formed extending from the opposite front side by simultaneously compressing both sides of the fibrous batt material. A structural layer of material is then attached to the substrate, preferably to the projections of the substrate, resulting in an "I-beam" structure that further enhances the strength of the interior trim panel. In another embodiment, a second layer of fibrous or porous batt material may be placed between the projections before fixedly attaching the structural layer of material to the substrate.

Abstract: The method according to the invention makes it possible to carry out permane nt redundant transmissions of data telegrams in disjunctive paths, whereby circulating data telegrams can be reliably identified and destroyed. Furthermore, splitting into two data telegrams in the corresponding branchin g point takes place in a transparent manner and the reception of two identical data telegrams, for instance the allocation of a current cycle number to the received data telegram in a cyclic communication system (26) does not entail an additional load for the receiver. This can also be ensured in a non-cycli c communication system by means of software-technical processing, for instance of the header identifier of the data telegrams. The behavior of the communication system (26) with respect to "learning" the addresses in the individual subscribers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), more particularly the switch, is not altered for the remaining non-redundant data traffic.
