Title: Method for generating a hybrid grid of a heterogeneous formation, compliant in three dimensions, crossed by one or several geometric discontinuities, for the purposes of carrying out simulations
Inventor: FLANDRIN NICOLAS
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2005-05-17
Abstract: Method for generating a hybrid grid, for the purposes of carrying out simulations in accordance with a defined numerical scheme, in three dimensions and acceptable within the meaning of the numerical scheme, of a heterogeneous formation, crossed by one or several geometric discontinuities, such as, for example, an underground formation where one or more wells have been drilled, or a fractured formation, by combining the structured and non-structured grids.  The hybrid grid is produced by associating a first structured grid to mesh the heterogeneous environment to second structured grids, to mesh a zone around each discontinuity. First, and entirely automatically, a minimal sized cavity is generated, allowing the meshes of the transition grid to have an intermediate size, between the size of the mesh of the first gridding and the size of the meshes of the second grids. Then, a transition gridding is constructed responding to the constraints of the numerical scheme used for the simulation. Finally, the quality of the transition gridding is improved by optimizing it according to quality controls within the meaning of the numerical scheme, for the purposes of defining a transition gridding perfectly acceptable within the meaning of the selected numerical scheme.  Application to simulators for hydrocarbon deposits, for instance.

Abstract: A process is set forth for viewing an enlarged area of an image. The image is stored on a server and re-sized for viewing on a mobile communication device based on screen size and colour display capabilities of the device. The image is enlarged within the server by modifying binary raw data of the original image based on crop rectangle coordinates entered at the mobile communication device. The process allows users to quickly retrieve any relevant part of a large image attachment that has been resized by the server. This minimizes bandwidth usage, device memory/CPU consumption, and request/response latency while still allowing the user to view an image area in its original level of detail.

Abstract: This design is to create dividers or compartments in twelve or sixteen-ounce drink cans. Many Cans in One Can will create two or more dividers within the can to create two or more compartments. They can be made separately and soldered or attached together to form a normal can shape. This will help consumers to buy a twelve or sixteen ounce can and drink a portion of the drink and next time another portion will also be fresh. When it comes to Mini Cans in One Can, the cans are made in small sizes. For example, if one used three-ounce cans, four of them will be screwed, snapped or clipped together to form a twelve or sixteen ounce normal can. The screw type Mini Cans would have a bottom male thread and a top female thread, and they would screw together to form a twelve-ounce can, or four four-ounce cans would form a sixteen-ounce can. The engineering principles behind the Many and Mini Can in One Can are the same.

IPC: G01C3/08
Filed: 2005-06-13
Abstract: General method for extracting source distance information from any kind of received radiation, including electromagnetic and acoustic, without involving round-trip time or phase in any form, and thus more truly passive than existing passive radars. The method exploits the facts that radiation from a real source must comprise wavepackets of nonzero bandwidth, that the individual frequency components of a wavepacket must have consistent phase at the source, and that their instantaneous phases must increase linearly along the path in proportion to the respective frequencies, so that the phase gradient across the components must be proportional to the distance travelled.  The invention simplifies over naive phase gradient measurement by scanning the phase gradient at a controlled rate, thereby converting the gradient into normalized frequency shifts proportional to the scanning rate and the source distance. It mimics the cosmological redshift and acceleration, but at measurable levels over any desired range and even with sound. Potential applications include stealth and "unjammable" radars for the military, ranging capability for emergency services, commodity low-power vehicular and personal radars, simplification and improvements in radar and diagnostic imaging, improved ranging in general all the way from ground to inter-galactic space, "interference-free" communication systems including radio and television receivers, source-distance (or range-division) multiplexing improved cellphone power control and battery life, and continuous, transparent diagnostics for optical fibres, integrated circuits and transmission lines.
