Title: Method of calculating temperature and porosity of geological structure
Inventor: KETIL HOKSTAD
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2017-06-01
Abstract: A method comprises inverting at least two geophysical parameters to estimate the temperature and/or porosity of a geological structure. One or more models (e.g. rock physics models) may be used in which there is statistical independence between the geophysical parameters and statistical dependence between each respective geophysical parameter and the temperature and/or porosity. The geophysical parameters may be obtained by inverting two types of geophysical data. The geophysical parameter values can be obtained by surface measurements. The parameters may be density, seismic velocity, magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductivity or resistivity, or magnetic remanence. A spatially dependent function of temperature and/or porosity may be determined. The temperature and/or porosity may be used in the decision making process for the drilling of a geothermal well.

Title: Method for enhancing scale inhibition within a hydrocarbon production system
Inventor: GORDON GRAHAM
IPC: E21B37/06
Filed: 2018-09-25
Abstract: A method of enhancing scale inhibition within a hydrocarbon production system in which fluids have been injected into a reservoir formation to increase oil recovery, comprising; a) treating the reservoir formation with a chemical scale inhibitor (SI), and, b) treating the reservoir formation with a chemical additive which increases retention of the scale inhibitor (i.e. a scale lifetime enhancer or SLE). The chemical additive may be a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt and in particular may be poly(diallyldimethlammonium) chloride (polyDADMAC). The chemical additive may be applied to the formation as a pre-flush treatment prior to the application of the scale inhibitor, or an over-flush treatment after the application of the scale inhibitor. The chemical additive may also be added to the formation at the same time as the scale inhibitor.

Title: Device, system and method for controlling a communication device to provide alerts
Inventor: SUZANNE E ERNESTI
IPC: G06Q50/26
Filed: 2019-02-20
Abstract: A method of providing an alert to a commanding person when it is determined that a target person probably cannot hear a command. The method comprises determining using multimedia video/audio data received from devices at the location of a commanding person 302 that an aural command has been directed by the commanding person at a target person 304. Barriers to the target person hearing the aural command are then identified 306. Based on the barriers, a likelihood that the target person has not heard the aural command is determined 308 and, when the likelihood meets a threshold condition 310, 312, a communication device associated with the commanding person provides an alert 314. The likelihood may also be based on the loudness of the aural command. Determining the target person may be based on a direction in which the commanding person is looking, a gesture of the commanding person, a facial expression of the commanding person, and content of the audio and video data.

Title: Hydraulically assisted shear bolt
Inventor: CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER JELLY
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 2016-12-28
Abstract: A shear bolt can include a body having a shear portion. A port in the body may be used for introducing a fluid into the body. A core disposed in the body may include a chamber at least partially surrounded by the shear portion. A fluid pressure in the chamber and exerted against the shear portion may be increasable in response to the fluid being introduced through the port, such as to increase an amount of stress in the shear portion and prime the shear bolt for shearing. Additionally or alternatively, a support structure positioned in the chamber may be frangible to reduce support to the shear portion in response to the fluid being introduced through the port, for example, to contribute to priming the shear bolt for shearing.

Title: Diversity receiver front end system with flexible band routing
Inventor: WILLIAM J DOMINO
IPC: H04B1/18
Filed: 2015-10-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-band receiver including a demultiplexer 1011 (aka input multiplexer). The input multiplexer has multiple outputs, each connected to a respective path which includes a respective amplifier 314a-314d. The input multiplexer also has two inputs, preferably connected to first and second antennas respectively. The first antenna 1040a may support low and mid-frequency bands (LB/MB). The second antenna 1040b may support high frequency bands (HB). The antennas may however support different frequency bands from the examples given above. In response to a first antenna configuration signal, a controller 1002 instructs the input multiplexer to route a signal of a first frequency band, received at a first antenna, to a first path. In response to a second antenna configuration signal, the input multiplexer routes a signal of a second frequency band, received at the second antenna, to a different path. When the antenna configuration signal indicates that only a single antenna is used, the signal from the single antenna may be routed to each of the paths, or each of the active paths, as indicated by a band select signal.

Title: Method of testing and improving security in a password-based authentication system
Inventor: FLORENT DAIGNIERE
IPC: G06F21/46
Filed: 2019-09-11
Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for testing passwords on a computer system against a list of compromised passwords. The system uses a probabilistic data structure, for example a Bloom filter, to check that either a password which a user is in the process of trying to set, or a password which is already set and stored in the system, is on a list of compromised passwords, for example passwords which have been stolen in a hacking attack against a different unrelated system. This is done without storing any information from which compromised passwords may be retrieved, and furthermore in a data structure which is small and fast, even for huge sets of compromised passwords

Title: Layered idea mapping
Inventor: ANDRES KRUSE
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2019-11-29
Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for arranging, organising and mapping ideas or planning processes is provided. The GUI 20 includes an idea map window 22 for displaying and editing a hierarchical network of nodes or icons which represent ideas 23, 24, 26. Links 25 represent relationships between nodes to form a main map 19. The GUI further includes a word processor document window 21 which displays information associated with the node network. The displayed information is organised sequentially by processing child nodes 26 either clockwise or anticlockwise as displayed about their parent node 24. A subset of the ideas is shown as a separate idea map layer (29, fig. 5). The ideas in the subset have different positions, links and relationships to the corresponding ideas in the main map thus creating a different layout and mapping representation of the subset of ideas. A separate word processor document associated only with the subset of ideas and their relationships is also displayed. The word processor document window may be updated automatically with information from changes in the idea map window. A node-layer relationship matrix editor (40, fig. 7) may allow selecting the visibility or association of ideas or nodes on layers.
