Patent CA-2526360-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOUIE KENDAL BONG HU
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: A method for enhancing signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of seismic data is presented. An ensemble of input traces is decomposed into a plurality of frequency bands of traces. Trace and signal power and then a maximum allowable signal-to-noise ratio are estimated for each frequency band. Weights are calculated which are functions of the inverse noise power or rms. The amplitudes in each of the traces are reformed using a fitting function which utilizes the estimated weights to create true relative amplitude signal enhanced traces. The weighting function has data adaptive parameters which can be changed to accommodate noise characteristics such coherency, incoherency, Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions, etc. The method may be applied across many different coordinate systems. The method may be applied iteratively to seismic data to shape the noise distribution of the seismic data.

A number of coupling elements are mounted to the frame at spaced locations selected having regard to the resiliency and configuration of the deformable members secured thereto and engaged by the user, the resiliency of the deformable member provides a desired tensioning force for resistive exercise movement.  A forward distalmost coupling element is positioned towards the forward end of the frame and in use may be used to secure the deformable band to the user's arm or leg.  Two pairs of lateral support posts are further symmetrically disposed along each side of the frame axis. A first pair of lateral support posts is provided at approximately midway between rearward and forwardmost ends of the frame, to locate laterally substantially adjacent to each side of the user's foot or hand, when for example, the user's arm or leg is positioned in an exercising position on the support pad. The second other pair of coupling posts are positioned on each side of the frame axis adjacent the rearward end, to facilitating gripping by the user's hand to steady the frame in exercise movement.

Title: Gas/water jet generator
Inventor: FERENCZY MIKLOS
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2006-03-27
Abstract: The Gas/Water Jet Generator converts the energy of relatively large volume, low pressure flowing gas into electric power. It is composed of two parallel plates. One of the plates holds a shaft; the other has a large central opening. Between these plates a multiple of cavities are created. These cavities are open toward the center of the unit and also open toward the periphery of the plates as nozzles. The unit is submerged in water a few inches deep. Gas is released at the central opening sequentially into the cavities. Gas will displace water from cavities toward the nozzles creating water jet effect which brings the unit into rotation. Torque is converted into electric power by a generator. As the unit rotates cavities refill with water during one rotation so the jet effect will be continuous. The unit is also capable to increase the pressure of the gas input.
