Patent CA-2446987-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUREN RICHARD E
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2002-05-22
Abstract: The invention is a method for removing trapped water bottom multiples (figure 2, item 19), receiver side peg-leg multiples (13), and source side peg-leg multiples (15) from dual sensor (figure 1, item 6), OBC (7) data, where the data includes both pressure signals and velocity signals. The pressure and velocity signals are compared to determine any polarity reversals between them (figure 3, item 21). Polarity reversals are used to identify and separate up-going and down-going wavefields in the pressure and velocity signals (22). A  matching filter is applied to a portion of the velocity signal where polarity reversals exist (24). The down-going wavefield is then estimated by calculating the difference between the portion of the velocity signal where polarity reversals exist and the portion of the pressure signal where polarity reversals exist and applying a scaling factor to the result (26). An attenuated up-going pressure wavefield is then determined by combining the estimated down-going wavefield and the pressure signal (28).

Title: Direct instructions rendering emulation computer technique
Inventor: WARD PAUL D
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2004-01-20
Abstract: A method and system for emulating instructions of legacy microprocessors which execute a compiled high-ordered language, such as C/Ct-r, in which the compiled code is structured such that data and instructions segments are segregated. In order to improve the real-time performance of the system, legacy instructions are directly mapped to equivalent instructions of the host processor where possible.  Additional techniques may optionally be employed to further increase the real-time performance of the system. By utilizing the direct mapping of the legacy instructions to host instructions, the emulation system in accordance with the present invention provides increased real-time performance for relatively modern RISC microprocessors.

Title: Inhalable sustained therapeutic formulations
Inventor: BASU SUJIT K
IPC: A61K47/12
Filed: 2003-03-19
Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on the unexpected discovery that particles for pulmonary delivery of a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnosti c agent that comprise a phospholipid and a sufficient amount of leucine can produce sustained effect of the agent. Specifically, particles for pulmonary delivery of a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent that contain a phospholipid or combination of phospholipids, wherein the phospholipid or combination of phospholipids is present in the particles in an amount of abo ut 1 to 46 weight percent; and leucine, wherein leucine is present in the particles in an amount of at least 46 weight percent, can contribute to sustained effect of the agent. Particles that comprise at least 46 weight percent leucine but that do not contain phospholipids do not exhibit these same sustained effect properties.
