Title: Method for attenuating air wave response in marine transient electromagnetic surveying
Inventor: ZIOLKOWSKI ANTONI MARJAN
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2009-06-23
Abstract: A method for measuring the electromagnetic response of formations below the bottom of a body of water includes positioning at least one electromagnetic transmitter (25) and at least one electromagnetic receiver (26A) in the body of water each at a selected depth below the water surface. A transient electric current is passed through the at least one transmitter. An electromagnetic signal is detected at the at least one electromagnetic receiver (26A). The depths are selected so that substantially all electromagnetic response to the current passed through the transmitter from the air above the body of water in the detected electromagnetic signal occurs before the beginning of a response originating in the formations below the water bottom.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for controlling a variable-rate sprayer for precision agriculture. Highly efficient digital image processing enables rapid and reliable control of the variable rate sprayer. In one embodiment, image processing uses only a subset of luminance, hue, saturation and intensity textural features to provide rapid image recognition. In another embodiment, an image is decomposed into RGB  components and a G is ratio determined. For example, the textural method is useful in growing season where colour differentiation is difficult. The G ratio method is useful in early spring and late fall where colour differentiation is possible. These rapid computationally light methods enable a mobile sprayer system to identify crop or field conditions in real-time and to dispense an appropriate amount of agrochemical in a specific section of the sprayer boom where the target has been detected as the mobile sprayer advances.

Title: Enhanced hydrocarbon recovery from low mobility reservoirs
Inventor: NASR TAWFIK N
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2011-12-19
Abstract: Methods are provided using heated fluids along with combined/drive cyclical injection/production profiles to enhance hydrocarbon recovery from shallow and/or low mobility reservoirs. In certain embodiments, injection and production flow rates to and from the reservoir are varied to beneficially modulate certain pressure drive profiles between a minimum pressure and a maximum pressure. During these drive profile modulations, heated water, solvent, and surfactant are injected into the reservoir. The combination of injected fluids and cyclical pressure drive profiles beneficially enhances hydrocarbon recovery from the reservoir. Other optional variations include using multiple injection and/or production wells.  Advantages include accelerated hydrocarbon recovery, higher production efficiencies, and lower costs. These advantages ultimately translate to higher production and/or reduction of total hydrocarbon extraction time. These methods are particularly advantageous when applied to shallow reservoirs (e.g. reservoirs having depths less than or equal to about 150 meters).

Abstract: A system and method for controlling subsections of an LED backlight for a liquid crystal display (LCD). Exemplary embodiments analyze the histograms for each subsection of the LCD which corresponds with the subsections of the LED  backlight in order to produce a proper luminance for the backlight subsection. The proper luminance may be less than the maximum or typical luminance that is produced by common LED  backlights. By reducing the luminance the resulting display can have less power consumption, longer lifetime, and higher contrast ratios. The original subpixel voltages for the LCD are re-scaled based on the proper luminance for the backlight subsection. Virtual backlight data may be created to simulate the luminance at each subpixel and the virtual backlight data may be used to re-scale the original subpixel voltages. The virtual backlight data may be used to blend between adjacent subsections of the LED backlight which may be producing different levels of luminance.
