Inventor: VAN WORKUM JOHN A
IPC: G06T17/05
Filed: 2008-10-13
Abstract: A geospatial modeling system may include at least one geospatial information database to store stereo-geographic image data and geographic feature data. A processor may cooperate with the geospatial information database for generating cost coefficients defining a three-dimensional (3D) cost cube using image matching operators based upon the stereo-geographic image data, adjusting the cost coefficients of the 3D cost cube based upon the geographic feature data to generate an adjusted 3D cost cube, and generating a geospatial model based upon solving the adjusted 3D cost cube, e.g., for a best cost surface. The system and method provide an integrated approach to creating a geospatial model using available data from multiple sources.

Abstract: Scheduling operations such as asynchronous file system operations in a network storage system is accomplished by applying a bid-price online auction methodology, in which bid (willingness-to-pay) values and price (cost) values are dynamically set by storage clients and a storage server, respectively, based on utilization of computing resources. The system provides a framework for adaptively scheduling asynchronous file system operations, managing multiple key resources of the distributed file system, including network bandwidth, server I/O, server CPU, and client and server memory utilization. The system can accelerate, defer, or cancel asynchronous requests to improve application-perceived performance. Congestion pricing via online auctions can be employed to coordinate the use of system resources by clients, so clients can detect shortages and adapt their resource usage.

Abstract: Il s'agit ici d'une méthode et d'un dispositif qui permettent une norme universelle pour brancher n'importe quel type de capteurs digitaux ou analogues et de les normaliser (dans ce dernier cas même si leurs caractéristiques analogiques sont différentes). Ce problème a deux volets : le branchement universel et le traitement informatique universel de capteurs de quelque nature que ce soit (force, vitesse, température, pression, position, débitmètre, pH-mètre, rythme cardiaque, voltage, courant, puissance, résistance, jauge, entrées/sorties digitales, relais, compteurs, accéléromètres, etc.). La méthode utilise un protocole lié aux connections sur deux prises A(DB25F) et B (DB25M). La prise A sert à fournir au capteur toutes les entrées, sorties requises pour assurer son fonctionnement. La prise B sert à ajuster les paramètres de calibration du capteur. D'autres prises accessoires peuvent exister sur un appareil pour établir le lien avec les contacts (pins) des prises A et B.

Abstract: A method of lining tubing within a wellbore comprises applying a poly-merisable fluid composition containing a photoinitiator to the interior surface of that tubing and initiating polymerisation of the composition by exposing it to actinic radia-tion, suitably light or ultraviolet with wavelength 250 to 800 nm. The composition is preferably stable against heat but polymerises quickly when exposed to the actinic radia-tion. The composition may be spread onto the tubing and exposed to actinic radiation as soon as it has been spread into a layer, suitably with a tool which skims the tubing sur-face with applicator pads for dispensing and spreading the composition, immediately followed by exposing the spread composition to actinic radiation. A second option is that the composition is provided as a sleeve which is expanded against the tubing, expo-sure to actinic radiation preferably then being achieved by means of light guides or light emitting diodes within the sleeve.
