Abstract: An information distributing machine distributes only information comparatively related to a user. The information distributing machine has a memory for storing a moving path of every user. The information distributing machine also has a distribution information entry unit for accepting distribution information including position information. A controller determines whether there is particular relationship between the moving path stored in the memory and the position information included in the distribution information. The information distribution machine transmits the distribution information to a user when there is the relationship between the moving path of that user and the position information.

Abstract: A method of optimising the allocation of resources by a supplier in the event of the supplier
being unable to fulfil one or more of a plurality of contractual obligations, the contractual
obligations being defined in electronic contracts, and the method being performed by
processing means and comprising: (a) determining the resources due to be allocated in
order to fulfil each contractual obligation; (b) determining the gain to the supplier in respect
of each contractual obligation were it to be fulfilled; (c) determining the penalty that would be
incurred by the supplier in respect of each contractual obligation were it not to be fulfilled;
and (d) determining the combination of contractual obligations for which their fulfilment, by
the allocation of the said resources, would give the greatest utility to the supplier, utility
being defined as the total gain to the supplier as a result of resources allocated minus the
total penalty incurred by the supplier as a consequence of unfulfilled contractual obligations.
This advantageously provides an automated process by which the utility obtainable by a
supplier, from the allocation of limited resources, may be optimised. Optionally, the method
further comprises anticipating future resources that will be available to the supplier at some
future time, and taking into account the anticipated future resources in determining the
combination of contractual obligations for which their fulfilment, at the present time or in the
future, would maximise the overall utility to the supplier. The anticipation of future resources
may be made by performing a probabilistic analysis based on the supplier's performance
history and/or the probability of a future change in the resources available to the supplier.
Preferably the method further comprises allocating the resources in accordance with the
said combination of contractual obligations determined.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for color-editing
capable of simply carrying out color-editing spectral values,
such as spectral reflectance, spectral transmittance, spectral
radiance and spectral radiant intensity. When color-editing
a spectral value of spectral image, the spectral color is
transformed into a low-dimensional color space easy for the
human to handle in an HLS space transforming section and
color-editing and color-correction are carried out in the
low-dimensional color space in on HLS color-editing section
thereby generating a proper spectral value from a transformed
low-dimensional color in a spectral-space inverse-transforming
section. Also, a spectral color editing section
receives a spectral editing instruction signal and transforms
a wavelength width of a spectral color peak to a narrow one,
thereby improving saturation.

Abstract: The method of the invention includes slimbore marine riser (124) and slimbore
blow out preventer (BOP) stack (120) operations for landing the reduced diameter
tubing hanger (TH12) in a tubing spool (TS10) using a landing string (LS).
Conventional sized BOP stacks and marine risers may also be used for the various
operations. The slimbore BOP stack and completion landing string is set aside of the
tubing spool, and an xmas tree (150) is connected to the top of the tubing spool. The
xmas tree may be deployed to the tubing spool independently of the riser(s) connected
to and/or deployed inside of the BOP stack. A BOP adapter (152) is provided to
connect the top of the conventional sized xmas tree to the bottom of the slimbore or
conventional sized BOP stack and marine riser. The landing string, with tubing hanger
running tool at its bottom end, is used along with other equipment to provide a high
pressure conduit to the surface for production fluids, and to serve as a mandrel around
which BOP rams (128) and/or annular BOPS may be closed to create a fluid path for
the borehole annulus which is accessed and controlled by the BOP choke and kill
conduits. After the BOP stack is removed by disconnecting the BOP deep water
applications, where the xmas tree can be installed without first having to retrieve and
subsequently re-run the BOP stack. Another important object of the invention is to
provide a method which allows future intervention using a BOP stack/marine riser or
a more conventional workover/intervention riser.

Abstract: The present invention is essentially a method and system for leaving and retrieving messages at specific coordinate way points within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network. Users carry or transport interface devices for communicating over the network and are able to record and view messages at specific coordinate locations while traveling in the network. The location of the device is calculated by the device or by the network while the device is powered on and in within the physical boundaries of the network, or through a combination of both. Messages can be made available to network subscribers when their interface devices come within an area centered about a physical coordinate location. Personalized messages can also be left by subscribers at any coordinate point within the boundaries of the network. The invention can also be used to facilitate access of information about an asset when a technician comes within a physical proximity threshold relative to said asset.
