IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: Methods for processing pyrolytic characterizing data (pcd) from reservoir rock samples obtained from known geographical locations under circumstances that are encountered during the drilling of wells provide information that is important for assessing the relative amounts of various hydrocarbon and organic matter types found in the reservoir and for characterizing the reservoir quality and preparing compositional modeling data, and include the steps of comparing the pcd for known end-member components typically found in the geographical location with the pcd derived from test samples and applying mathematical analyses to identify the predicted composition and quantitative measure of end-members. The method is applied to model hydrocarbon moveability, reservoir injectivity; contaminants and soil an aquifer pollutants.

Title: Method and system for enhancing digital images
Inventor: GEIGER PAUL
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 2006-10-19
Abstract: A system and method for enhancing digital images is described. A digital image is transformed into a series of decomposed images in frequency bands, or different resolution grids. A decomposed image is noise suppressed and contrast enhanced. Representative value of signal at each pixel is computed based on contributions to signals from pixels in a neighborhood of the pixel. Lookup tables are applied to pixel values to selectively enhance signal in a predetermined range of signal strength. Another set of lookup tables are applied to pixel values to suppress noise components contained therein. Optionally, operations are applied to decomposed images to suppress quantum noise, enhance object edges or enhance global contrast, among others. These decomposed images, after signal enhancement and noise suppression, are then recombined to result in an enhanced image.

Title: Electronic component with high density, low cost attachment
Inventor: GAILUS MARK W
IPC: H01R12/55
Filed: 2006-11-29
Abstract: A contact tail (272) for an electronic component compatible with surface mount manufacturing techniques. The contact tail is stamped, providing a relatively low manufacturing cost and high precision. High precision in the contact tails in turn provides more reliable solder joints across an array of contact tails in an electronic component. Further, the contact tail may be shaped to reduce the propensity for solder to wick from the attachment area during a reflow operation. Reducing the propensity of solder to wick reduces the chance that solder will interfere with the operation of the electronic component. Additionally, reducing the propensity for solder to wick allows pads (302) to which the contact tail is attached to be positioned over vias (304), thereby increasing the density with which contacts may be attached to a substrate. The reliability with which electronic assemblies incorporating components using the contact tail is also increased when the contact tail is used in self-centering arrays.

Title: Suppression of resistance in insects to bacillus thuringiensis cry toxins, using toxins that do not require the cadherin receptor
Inventor: PARDO-LOPEZ LILIANA
IPC: C12N15/32
Filed: 2007-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining DNA constructions coding for Cry toxins with 3 domains (also known as Cry toxins, Bt toxins or ´-endotoxins), which lack helix ±-1. Said DNA constructions were modified in order to encode proteins that can kill insects that are resistant to the corresponding non-modified Cry toxins. The invention relates to the DNA constructions of the genes of modified 3-domain Cry toxins and the modified 3-domain Cry proteins, together with methods, molecular vectors and host cells containing said constructions, as well as recombinant methods for producing the modified 3-domain Cry toxins. In addition, the invention relates to formulations containing the modified 3-domain Cry toxins. Resistance of insects to non-modified Cry toxins is due to a reduced binding of the toxin to the receptors in the insect's intestine. More specifically, the invention relates to the expression of the modified 3-domain Cry toxins, the methods for expressing said modified 3-domain Cry toxins, transformed microorganisms and transgenic plants with constructions that express the modified 3-domain Cry toxins and methods for suppressing resistance of pests to non-modified Cry toxins.

Title: Reduction of false positive reputations through collection of overrides from customer deployments
Inventor: NEYSTADT JOHN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2008-03-20
Abstract: An automated arrangement for reducing the occurrence and/or minimizing the impact of false positives by a reputation service is provided in which overrides for a reputation of an adversary are reported to a reputation service from security devices, such as unified threat management systems, deployed in enterprise or consumer networks. An override is typically performed by an administrator at a customer network to allow the security device to accept traffic from, or send traffic to a given IP address or URL. Such connectivity is allowed—even if such objects have a blacklisted reputation provided by a reputation service—in cases where the administrator recognizes that the blacklisted reputation is a false positive. The reputation service uses the reported overrides to adjust the fidelity (i.e., a confidence level) of that object's reputation, and then provides an updated reputation, which reflects the fidelity adjustment, to all the security devices that use the reputation service.

Title: Method for monitoring thixotropy in concrete mixing drum
Inventor: HAZRATI KATI
IPC: G01N33/38
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: The invention provides ‘thixotropy’ monitoring, by measuring the reversible, time-dependent reduction in viscosity occurring when concrete is subjected to mixing, and employs a mixing drum and conventional slump monitoring equipment as used on ready-mix trucks. In one embodiment, the drum is rotated until concrete is completely mixed; the speed is altered, such as by increasing it to a predetermined level; and the energy required to rotate the drum (ER) is monitored; the maximum (ER-MAX) and minimum (ER-MIN) values are recorded in computer memory; and these values are compared to pre-determined (target) values. Rheology factors (including viscosity, yield stress, and/or thixotropy) can be adjusted accordingly by adding liquid component(s) into the mix. This method, suitable for delivery of highly fluid concrete speed such as SCC, can involve transit and placement rheology targets during monitoring.

Title: Light field image sensor, method and applications
Inventor: MOLNAR ALYOSHA
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: An angle-sensitive pixel (ASP) device that uses the Talbot effect to detect the local intensity and incident angle of light includes two local diffraction gratings stacked above a photodiode. When illuminated by a plane wave, the upper grating generates a self-image at a selected Talbot depth. The second grating, placed at this depth, blocks or passes light depending upon incident angle. Several such structures, tuned to different incident angles, are sufficient to extract local incident angle and intensity. Arrays of such structures are sufficient to localize light sources in three dimensions without any additional optics.
