Abstract: Procédé pour modéliser l'évolution du pH d'un milieu poreux suite à l'injection d'une solution d'agent alcalin dans ce milieu. On considère l'agent alcalin comme un pseudo-constituant soude, de concentration égale à la concentration de OH- correspondant au pH de la solution d'agent alcalin injectée. Puis, on utilise une équation d'adsorption calée sur des données expérimentales pour déterminer une quantité de pseudo-constituant soude adsorbée, à partir de la concentration du pseudo-constituant soude. Enfin, on modélise l'évolution du pH en modélisant le transport de la solution d'agent alcalin au moyen d'un simulateur de transport de soude, en remplaçant la soude par le pseudo-constituant soude.

Title: A method of ordering based on estimated time of arrival
Inventor: GILFOYLE CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2013-06-26
Abstract: A method for prioritizing a transmitted order based upon a customer's estimated time of arrival comprises the steps of: transmitting an order to a vendor by a customer via a localization-capable device; identifying the location of the customer via the localization-capable device; calculating the estimated time of arrival of the customer at the vendor based upon the customer's location; and placing the order in a queue with the vendor. The queue is arranged according to such criteria as the anticipated completion time of pending orders, and the anticipated completion time of the customer's order corresponds to the customer's estimated time of arrival at the vendor. While on route to the vendor, a new location of the customer via the localization-capable device is identified and an updated estimated time of arrival of the customer at the vendor is calculated based upon the customer's new location. Thereafter the position of the order in the queue based upon the updated estimated time of arrival is adjusted and the order is completed in relation to the updated estimated time of arrival.
