Title: An efficient and accurate pseudo 2-d inversion scheme for multicomponent induction log data
Inventor: MCWILLIAMS STEVEN
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2002-02-27
Abstract: A fast, efficient and accurate pseudo 2-D inversion scheme (Fig. 4) for resistivity determination of an anisotropic formation (Fig. 3) uses data from a tool (3DEX) (10) comprising three transmitters (101, 103, 105) and three corresponding receivers (107, 109, 111) sampling the formation in a plurality of spatial directions. An initial model (311) of the formation including invasion zones is obtained using a conventional multifrequency and/or multispacing logging tool. A pseudo 2-D inversion scheme combines an accurate full 2-D forward solution (313) of the synthetic responses of the earth model with a 1-D approximation (323) of the sensitivity matrix (317) of the horizontally layered anisotropic background model. The timesaving compared to a regular 2-D inversion scheme can be tremendous.

Inventor: WINDSHEIMER KLAUS
IPC: G01R19/00
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a measured value acquisition and processing unit (5 ) that facilitates the acquisition and processing of very small measuring signals in the range of interfering signals, such as, for example, noise, spillovers, etc. This means that the useful values to be detected usually contain interfering portions. The inventive measured value acquisition and processing unit (5) separately acquires these interfering portions by means of a switch element (10) disposed in the area of feed of the measured signals b y means of which the measuring circuit is short-circuited in such a manner tha t the measured signal is not coupled in but only interfering signals that migh t occur in the measuring circuit are detected. The inventive method provides a large range of dynamic ratio for the detection of measured values at low cos ts.

Title: Natural tapered house log milling process
Inventor: LITTLER ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: B27M3/00
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A process to enable the manufacture of tapered house building logs of various diameters, which would be used in hand-crafted round log construction, in both residential and commercial applications. A milling process would remove wood to create the lateral notches, also known as grooves or copes, on the underside of each wall log, while maintaining the natural taper of each whole log used. The convex curvature of the top of each log is milled to match the concave curvature on the bottom of the log sitting directly above it, using a common curvature for specified diameters; in the process of planing the top and the underside of each log, the same degree of taper is achieved.  Whole, round trees are utilized and the natural taper of each log is always maintained.

Inventor: RILEY WYATT
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2003-08-01
Abstract: Techniques to estimate the position of a wireless terminal. In a method, the identities of a number of transmitters (e.g., BTSs) to be used to estimate t he position are initially received. Expected areas for these transmitters are then determined. The expected area associated with each transmitter is indicative of an area where the terminal is likely to be located given that the signal from the transmitter is received by the terminal. Each expected area may comprise a location (e.g., the expected area center) to be used as an estimated position of the terminal and an uncertainty (or error estimate) associated with that estimated position. The expected areas for the transmitters are then combined (e.g., based on a weighted average) to determine a combined expected area, which is then provided as the estimate o f the position of the terminal.
