Abstract: A stochastic programming-based decision support tool for reservoir development planning can com-prise a source of input data, an optimization model, a high fidelity model for simulating the reservoir, and one or more solution routines interfacing with the optimiza-tion model. The optimization model can consider un-known parameters having uncertainties directly within the optimization model. The model incorporates the flexibili-ty that a decision-maker has in the real world and allows the decision-maker to adjust the decisions based on new information. The model can systematically address uncer-tain data, for example comprehensively or even taking all uncertain data into account. Accordingly, the optimiza-tion model can provide flexible or robust solutions that remain feasible over an uncertainty space. Once the reser-voir model is optimized, final development plans may be generated.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un récipient destiné à contenir un organe tel que les poumons d'un mammifère ex vivo à des fins d'évaluation ou de conservation. Une solution liquide convenant pour l'évaluation ou la conservation des poumons entoure au moins partiellement l'organe. Cette solution est circulée par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice de sortie et d'un orifice d'entrée. Deux chambres de pression sont placées entre les parois du récipient et l'organe. Un gaz peut être introduit dans la chambre de pression afin que la dilatation de celle-ci entraîne l'occupation des espaces entourant l'organe. La pression à l'intérieur desdites chambres est ensuite augmentée afin de pousser la solution à un niveau supérieur, de façon à immerger l'organe dans la solution sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'ajouter davantage de solution. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, le récipient est exposé à une pression négative et les chambres de pression sont ouvertes sur l'atmosphère. Dans une autre forme de réalisation encore, un espace de collecte de solution présente un volume variable.

Abstract: Railroad tank cars are provided that include an inner tank, an outer tank, and tank to tank clearance between the inner tank and the outer tank. Insulation and spacers can be located within the tank to tank clearance. The inner tank can shift within the outer tank, and spacers can crush, under significant force loading, such as impact forces generated during a collision or derailment. The inner tank, insulation, spacers, and outer tank thus form an energy absorbing system that reduces the likelihood that the inner tank will be breached, and that a hazardous material contained therein will be released, under such conditions.

Filed: 2009-07-23
Abstract: A barcode reading apparatus and method in which the spectrum of a probe light is first Fourier-transformed into space, directed upon a barcode, and then Fourier-transformed converting the spectrally encoded barcode pattern to a time domain waveform. In one implementation, the Fourier transformation from the spectrum domain into a spatial domain is performed by a dispersive element, while the Fourier transformation from the spectrally encoded barcode pattern to a time domain waveform is performed by group-velocity dispersion (GVD). The temporally encoded barcode pattern is detected by a photodetector, digitized by a digitizer, and analyzed by a digital signal processor. The invention is applicable to a number of fields which involve the reading of one- and two-dimensional barcodes, displacement sensing, surface measurements, measurement of width and gap, flow cytometry, reading of optical media, presence or absence detection, and other related fields.
