Title: Oil spill recovery method
Inventor: WALKER GEORGE LYALL
IPC: E02B15/04
Filed: 2011-05-05
Abstract: A repetitious, accumulating recovery method for spilled oil compositions such as crude oil uses a oleophilic, hydrophobic, crosslink-coated, nonwoven mat, preferably colour pigmented, for intercepting unconfined oil compositions on water or coastlines. The high-void, resilient, skeletal structure of the mat enables the intercepted oil to be moved to a recovery station, then to be expelled by pressure jetting and collected for later processing. The skeletal mat is continually cleaned of oil and repeatedly reused. The expelled oil portions are accumulated for later refining. The resilient mat can be used as the oil interceptor in an oil intercepting boom which has floats (56) attached to tethers (57) supporting detachable panels (58) incorporating the web, or in an oil skimming device. The process is versatile and environmentally gentle.

Patent GB-2516902-A (GB)
Title: Modulation unit and modulation method
Inventor: WARD CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04L27/36
Filed: 2013-08-06
Abstract: This application concerns a modulation unit for generating a modulated output signal 142 from an in-phase modulating input signal 102 and a quadrature modulating input signal 104. A first modulator 110, which operates at a high power, quadrature modulates a carrier signal 130 with the input signals 102, 104. The carrier signal is attenuated 132 and a second modulator 120, which operates at a low power, quadrature modulates the attenuated carrier signal with the input signals to generate a reference signal. A detector 150 compares a signal 148 tapped off from the output signal with the reference signal to generate an amplitude error signal, or an amplitude and phase error signal, which provides a feedback signal to control a correction modulator 166 to reduce the amplitude error. The correction modulator may act on the carrier signal and provide an input to the first modulator, or alternatively it may act on the output of the first modulator (266. Fig. 2). Because the second modulator operates at a lower power than the first modulator, it has better linearity characteristics that the first modulator. The feedback from the detector is used to make the output of the modulation unit adopt the close-in spectral characteristics of the second, lower power modulator, but by operating at the greater power of the first modulator, less amplification is required.

Title: Stratigraphic analysis of seismic data
Inventor: GESBERT STEPHANE
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2010-06-08
Abstract: A method for stratigraphic analysis of seismic data comprises selecting a seismic data volume comprising a plurality of samples, selecting a number of horizons (TH,BH,TPH,BPH,SMH) within the seismic data volume and selecting a scale of interest within the seismic data volume, which ranges from 500 m up to the size of the entire seismic data volume; applying an attribute function to at least one of the selected number of horizons (TH,BH,TPH,BPH,SMH) at the selected scale of interest. A stratigraphic unconformity attribute (Zâ€žâ€ž/Z) is displayed that highlights a rate of thickness change of a formation layer between adjacent horizons, as a result of applying the attribute function at the selected scale of interest. This unconformity attribute (Zmax/Z) assists a seismic interpreter to recognize, analyze, and capture moderate to large-scale seismic geometries (500 m to 50 Km) and to better understand the basin development over geologic time and therefore the spatial distribution of reservoir-, seal- and source rocks.

Title: Method for preventing shield casing catching due to too large frictional resistance in earth pressure balance shield
Inventor: LI JIANBIN
IPC: E02D3/12
Filed: 2011-06-09
Abstract: A method for preventing shield casing catching due to too large frictional resistance in earth pressure balance shield is provided. The method involves carrying out real-time monitoring to the earth voltage signal between the shield casing (3) and the stratum (4) through the earth pressure sensor (21, 22, 23, 24) on the shield machine shell. Combined with the known parameter and shield machine geological parameter in construction, related resistance in the shield machine operation is calculated. The frictional resistance F1 between the shield casing (3) and the stratum (4) is calculated by CPU module in PLC according to the voltage signal transmitted by the earth pressure sensor (21, 22, 23, 24). The frictional resistance F1 between the shield casing (3) and the stratum (4) is ultimately determined whether it is less than or equal to the difference between the total propel force Ft of shield machine propel oil cylinder (5) divided by the correction coefficient KXZ and the total resistance F2+ F3+ F4+ F5; if so, the shield machine is normal propulsion; if not, the warning device alarm. The shield machine fault of forced shut down due to shield casing (3) catching is effectively avoided so that the construction risk is reduced and the construction efficiency is improved.

Title: Secure initialisation
Inventor: JASON PARKER
IPC: G06F21/53
Filed: 2015-06-16
Abstract: A method of processing data using a memory having a plurality of memory regions, a given memory region having an associated owning process having exclusive rights to control access to the given memory region, comprises: receiving at a security controller a request to initialise a guest execution environment; claiming one or more regions of memory to be owned by the security controller; storing executable program code of the guest execution environment within the one or more regions of memory; and transferring ownership of the one or more regions to the guest execution environment. This facilitates the conception of a blind hypervisor, which still manages the virtual machines and controls which portions of the address space they can access, but does not necessarily have visibility of all the data associated with a given virtual machine, i.e. a process running at a higher privilege level may not have permission to access addresses used by a process running at a lower privilege level. Potentially secret data of a guest execution environment can thus be protected from access by other processes, including the hypervisor.
