Title: A system for multi- and hyperspectral imaging
Inventor: MUHAMMED HAMED HAMID
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2005-10-25
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of instantaneous or non-instantaneous multi-band images, to be transformed into multi- or hyperspectral images, comprising light collecting means (11), an image sensor (12) with at least one two dimensional sensor array (121), and an instantaneous colour separating means (123), positioned before the image sensor array (121) in the optical path (OP) of the arrangement (1), and first uniform spectral filters (13) in the optical path (OP), with the purpose of restricting imaging to certain parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The present invention specifically teaches that a filter unit (FU) comprising colour or spectral filter mosaics and/or uniform colour or spectral filters mounted on filter wheels (114) or displayed by transmissive displays (115), is either permanently or interchangeably positioned before the colour separating means (123) in the optical path (OP) in, or close to, converged light (B). Each colour or spectral filter mosaic consists of a multitude of homogeneous filtering regions. The transmission curves (TC) of the filtering regions of a colour or spectral filter mosaic can be partly overlapping, in addition to overlap between these transmission curves and those belonging to the filtering regions of the colour separating means (123). The transmission curves (TC) of the colour or spectral filter mosaics and the colour separating means (123) are suitably spread out in the intervals of a spectrum to be studied. The combination of the colour separating means (123) and the spectral or colour or spectral filter mosaics produces different sets of linearly independent transmission curves (TC). The multiple-filter image captured by the image sensor (12) is demosaicked by identifying and segmenting the image regions that are affected by the regions of the multiple filter mosaic, and after an optional interpolation step, a multi-band image is obtained. The resulting multi-band image is transformed into a multi- or hyperspectral image.

Patent CA-2598468-C (CA)
Inventor: ANDREIS DAVID
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2006-02-03
Granted: 2013-08-13
Abstract: A method of analysing electromagnetic survey data from an area of seafloor (6) that is thought or known to contain a resistive or conductive body, for example a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir (12), is described. The method includes providing horizontal electromagnetic field data obtained by at least one receiver (125) from at least one horizontal electric dipole transmitter (22). Horizontal gradients in the electromagnetic field data are determined for a first component of the electromagnetic field data along a first direction and for a second component of the electromagnetic field data along a second direction. The first and second components can be the electric field along the first and second directions, or the magnetic field perpendicular to the first direction and second directions. The gradients are then combined to provide combined response data. Because the combined response data are relatively insensitive to the transverse electric (TE) mode component of the transmitted signal, the method allows hydrocarbon reservoirs to be detected in shallow water where the TE mode component interacting with the air would otherwise dominate.

Title: Electronically controlled earth drilling rig
Inventor: BROOKOVER BRIAN DAVID
IPC: E21B7/00
Filed: 2007-10-26
Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: An electronic control, for automated earth drilling using a pneumatic hammer-operated bit, preliminarily weighs a drill string, and, during drilling, automatically maintains a desired weight on the bit, and also maintains a constant rate of drilling progress. by regulating drill string rotation speed.  The weight on the bit is automatically maintained at a fraction of the pre--established desired weight as the air pressure in the supply to the pneumatic hammer builds up to an operating level. The control detects voids and broken formations by monitoring air pressure and torque respectively, and responds by reducing the weight on the bit. The control automatically raises the drill bit though a short distance as the drill head reaches the lower limit of its travel, pauses until the air pressure drops, and then raises the drill string to a position for insertion of a new length of pipe.

Granted: 2015-08-11
Abstract: Methods for allocating power amongst different source spectrums, or "channels," of a multi-channel lighting unit, and apparatus that employ such methods. Power allocation methods exploit the total light-generating capability of a lighting unit while maintaining safe operating power conditions, so as to avoid damage to the lighting unit due to excessive thermal power generation. In one example, a power allocation method ensures that a lighting unit operates at or near its maximum power handling capability for a variety of possible high brightness lighting conditions by ascribing a maximum per channel operating power equal to the maximum power handling capability of the lighting unit. The power allocation method then reapportions, if necessary, prescribed operating powers for multiple channels, in response to a given lighting command, such that the ratio of the prescribed powers remains the same but the sum of the channel operating powers does not exceed the maximum power handling capability of the lighting unit.

Abstract: A technique for fast performance prediction of multivariable model predictive controllers (MPC) for large-scale spatially-distributed dynamic systems is provided. When operating an MPC for a two-dimensional sheetmaking process, the controller's performance can be separated into spatial performance and dynamic performance. The steady-state spatial performance for different sheet property modes is first predicted, thereafter, the dynamic performance is predicted on the basis of the steady-state actuator profiles. During the steady-state spatial performance prediction, the original MPC's cost function is approximated to be a steady-state cost function. Then the steady-state measurement profiles and the actuator profiles are calculated through the steady-state cost function. The actuator profiles in time series can be efficiently solved by minimizing the difference between the actuator profiles and the steady-state actuator profiles in the face of constraints. Finally, the model can be employed to expeditiously compute the measurement profiles in times series.
