Abstract: A method and device for imaging a description of a zone behind a casing of a well uses a logging tool provided with a plurality of acoustic transducers. The casing is insonified with a first acoustic wave using a first acoustic transducer for transmitting among the plurality of acoustic transducers. The first acoustic wave has a first mode that may be any mode of a set of modes defined as follows: extensional mode, thickness mode, flexural mode. A first acoustic transducer for receiving is selected among the plurality of transducers, a first echo is received at the first acoustic transducer for receiving, and a first signal is produced. A first measurement is extracted from the first signal. The method further comprises insonifying the casing with a second acoustic wave using a second transducer for transmitting, operating in a second mode that may be any mode of the set of modes but is distinct from the first mode. A second echo is received at a selected second acoustic transducer for receiving and a second signal is produced. A second measurement is extracted from the second signal. The description of the zone behind the casing of the well is evaluated from a combination of the first measurement and the second measurement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for, in one aspect, persisting identifiers and relationships in a transient peer-to-peer networking environment where communities have ad hoc participants. Persistent identifiers are defined for nodes, allowing nodes to be identified across sessions and invocations, even though they re-enter the network with a different network address. Paths taken by content resources as they traverse the network (e.g. which nodes forwarded the content) are persisted, along with reputation information about nodes (e.g. indicating how successful they are at answering queries from peers). Trust relationships can be derived using the persisted information. A tiered broadcast strategy is defined for reducing the number of messages exchanged. Other aspects are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of determining the degree of similarity between gene expression in a biological sample of interest and that in individual reference samples by use of: i) a nucleic acid probe library representative of a pattern of gene expression in the biological sample of interest; and ii) a plurality of reference samples, each of which is a nucleic acid library representative of a pattern of gene expression in a reference biological sample from which it was derived. The method is effected by: a) forming a first set of immobilised, hybridised products by treating the individual reference samples with the probe library under hybridising conditions (one or other of the reference samples or the probe library being in immobilised form) and removing non-immobilised material; and b) forming a second immobilised product by treating a sample of the free probe library with an immobilised sample of the probe library under hybridising conditions, and removing non-immobilised material. The first set of immobilised products and the second immobilised product are then subjected to progressive dissociation, and the dissociation monitored. Comparison of the dissociation of the first set of immobilised products and the second immobilised product allows determination of the degree of similarity of gene expression in the sample of interest and in the reference biological samples.
