Abstract: A synchronization process, and associated apparatus, for placing database copies in match with one another by way of communications effectuated upon an air interface of a radio communication system. Hash functions are performed at a mobile node and at a network part upon mobile and network copies of database information. Comparison of the hash information formed therefrom provides a preliminary indication of whether the databases are in match with one another.  If a determination is made that the databases are out of match, the data is compared, and the data is placed in match with one another responsive to such additional comparisons.

Title: Methode pour elaborer plus rapidement un modele stochastique representatif d`un reservoir heterogene souterrain, contraint par des donnees statiques et dynamiques incertaines
Inventor: LE RAVALEC-DUPIN MICKAELE
IPC: G06F17/18

Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: Méthode pour former plus rapidement un modèle stochastique de type gaussien ou apparenté, représentatif d'un milieu hétérogène poreux tel qu'un réservoir souterrain, contraint par des données caractéristiques du déplacement des fluides et des observations ponctuelles, ces observations étant incertaines et caractérisées par une loi de probabilité. Elle s'appuie sur une méthode de transformation de l'information statique, donnée sous forme de lois de probabilité, en pseudo--données ponctuelles gaussiennes. Cette technique de transformation présente l'avantage d'être intégralement compatible avec une méthode de déformation graduelle. De fait, elle rend possible la minimisation d'une fonction objectif J mesurant l'écart entre les données dynamiques (données de production par exemple) et les réponses correspondantes simulées pour le modèle de réservoir considéré. La minimisation est menée en combinant des réalisations d'un modèle stochastique d'une part pour le modèle de réservoir et d'autre part pour les pseudo--données gaussiennes représentatives de l'information statique. Au cours du processus de minimisation, on ajuste les coefficients de combinaison et on identifie les réalisations qui permettent de réduire la fonction objectif. Applications notamment à l'exploitation de gisements pétroliers par exemple.

Title: Method for deactivating and reactivating security modules
Inventor: KUDELSKI HENRI
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2004-03-02
Granted: 2012-07-03
Abstract: This invention concerns a security module deactivation and reactivation method particularly intended for access control of conditional access data. These security modules include a plurality of registers (R1, R2, R3, Rn) containing values. The method includes the step of sending at least one management message (RUN-EMM) containing an executable code, this executable code being loaded into a memory of the security module and then executed. The execution of this code in particular can carry out the combination and/or the enciphering of the values of the registers, or render these values illegible. This method also allows the reactivation of the security modules that have been deactivated previously. In this case, the method includes the step of sending another message containing an executable code (RUN-EMM -1) for the reactivation of the modules, this executable code having an inverted function to that of the executable code used for the deactivation of the security modules.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne diverses technique permettant de réduire ou d'éliminer l'effet d'extrémité où la tendance des extrémités tubulaires à rétrécir leur diamètre après dilatation. Certaines de ces techniques consistent à incurver préalablement les extrémités vers l'extérieur tandis que d'autres techniques consistent à retirer du matériau de manière interne et/ou externe près des extrémités. D'autres techniques encore consistent à affaiblir les extrémités par d'autres moyens comprenant la pénétration du matériau tubulaire au moyen d'ouvertures de diverses formes notamment des fentes et/ou des trous, ces ouvertures étant situées entre les extrémités du tuyau ou là où elles peuvent s'étendre sur une extrémité ou sur les deux extrémités sur toute la longueur vers l'extrémité de l'élément tubulaire. Des inserts plus mous que le matériau du tuyau peuvent être placés près des extrémités. S'il existe un effet d'extrémité, le matériau qui fait saillie peut-être repoussé en dehors du passage ou cassé.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (Fig. 8a) for obtaining a resistivity measurement of an earth formation surrounding a borehole in an MWD device uses an electrode (602) for injecting current into the earth formation and an electrode for obtaining a responsive signal from the borehole. The electrodes are located on the drill bit arm or blade (802). Measured resistivity values are obtained at the location of the drill bit. Measurements can be taken in both oil-based mud and water-based mud environments. Maximum or minimum resistivity can be used to best represent the resistivity of the surrounding formation.
