Title: P/S wave measurement and compensation
Inventor: WESTERDAHL HARALD
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2014-05-07
Abstract: A method for use in surveying a subsurface region beneath a body of water by detecting surface (S) waves propagating through the subsurface region. The method comprises using a first sensor configuration to detect mixed S and P waves on or in the subsurface region, using a second sensor configuration located on or in relatively close proximity to the subsurface region to detect P waves in the water, and using the P waves detected in the water to compensate the detected mixed S and P waves, and thereby attenuate the effects of P waves in the mixed S and P waves. In other aspects, compressional P waves are detected and the effects of S waves, propagating in the subsurface and converted at the water/subsurface interface into P waves propagating in the water or along the seabed interface, in translated P wave data is reduced. The step of compensating may comprise scaling a component detected by the second sensor to obtain a scaled component which is subtracted from a corresponding component detected by the first sensor.

Title: Methods and systems for improving flash memory flushing
Inventor: Daniel Peter Noé
IPC: G06F12/0804
Filed: 2016-08-24
Abstract: This application is for a way of writing data from a flash memory, or cache, to a hard drive in a more efficient way. It does this by waiting until the amount of data that has been written to the cache, i.e. dirty data, has reached a threshold then performs a flush, i.e. performs a write back to the hard drive. The system 400 works by splitting the cache into regions and using a bitmap to store the dirty blocks. A pointer for each bitmap keeps a count of how many dirty blocks are in each region. The system stars by ordering the bitmap pointer array by dirty block count 404. If the flushing threshold has not been reach 406 then the system ends, if it has it identifies the dirtiest region 408 and flushes it. It then moves to the next region 412, 414, and repeats the process.
