Patent CA-2673783-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIEVOIS JOHN
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2008-01-22
Abstract: Methods and apparatus enable monitoring a hydrocarbon well for water within a flow stream of the well. A water detector includes a light source for emitting into a flow stream infrared light that includes a water absorbent wavelength band. A detector detects attenuation of the water absorbent wavelength band upon the infrared radiation passing through at least a portion of the flow stream. The water detector outputs a presence of water and/or a phase fraction or quantification of water as determined based on the attenuation. Detecting attenuation of a substantially transmissive wavelength band with respect to water simultaneously with detection of the attenuation of the water absorbent wavelength band can enable correction for non-wavelength dependent attenuation.

Title: Removing semi-transparent artifacts from digital images caused by contaminants in the camera's optical path
Inventor: THRUSTON KIMBALL
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2008-04-29
Abstract: A method and system for retouching digital images for a motion picture removes semi-transparent artifacts or blotches' caused by contaminates in the optical path of the camera. This approach provides the benefit of only having to retouch a single average image that is than automatically applied via a correction power map to the entire sequence of images for the affected scene. The formation of an average image tends to reinforce the artifacts making them easier to identify and reduce background detail making it easier to retouch the artifact.
Patent CA-2694828-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUCKLER GERALD B
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 2010-03-02
Abstract: A prototype of a computerized system (which also could be operated from an internet website) has been developed to automatically acquire, statistically test and supply the parameters needed (standard deviation and percent recovery--obtained by running control samples) to compute 95% confidence intervals for chemical (and other) measurements contained in an organizations's main database and ultimately to unbias those measurements and their confidence intervals. All sources of stochastic variation within the analytical methods are characterized, adjusted and corrected so as to provide parameters that are truly representative of the stochastic processes occurring in them as they are being done in a particular laboratory. This is done by running chemical, biological, microbiological or radiological control samples on specially designed computer forms that automatically test the data statistically as it is being accumulated. These forms and their control samples are often suitable to be continued to be run for quality assurance purposes.
