Title: Method for seismic interpretation using seismic texture attributes
Inventor: IMHOF MATTHIAS
IPC: G01V1/32
Filed: 2010-05-04
Abstract: Method for generating a new family of seismic attributes sensitive to seismic texture that can be used for classification and grouping of seismic data into seismically similar regions. A 2D or 3D data analysis window size is selected (23), and for each of multiple positions (25) of the analysis window in the seismic data volume, the data within the window are transformed to a wavenumber domain spectrum (26). At least one attribute of the seismic data is then defined based on one or more spectral properties, and the attribute is computed (28) for each window, generating a multidimensional spectral attribute data volume (29). The attribute data volume can be used for inferring hydrocarbon potential, preferably after classifying the data volume cells based on the computed attribute, partitioning the cells into regions based on the classification, and prioritizing of the regions within a classification.

Title: OTDR Mapping Method using an optical reflector at a specific customer fibre end to increase the amplitude relative to other reflection events in the trace
Inventor: YU JILIANG
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 2012-02-10
Abstract: A method for mapping the position of a customer fibre end on a passive optical network (PON). The method comprises the steps of: connecting an optical reflector to a specific customer fibre end; carrying out an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) trace of the a passive optical network utilising a central office OTDR device; identifying a target reflection event in the OTDR trace having an increased amplitude relative to other reflection events in the OTDR trace, consequent upon the presence of the optical reflector; and mapping data associated with the target reflection event to the specific customer. The data associated with the target reflection event (i.e. the length of the optical fibre from the customer to the splitter and the sequential position of the reflective event in the OTDR trace) can be definitely mapped to a new customer since the target reflection event having the increased amplitude will clearly sand out from all other refelection events in the OTDR trace.

Title: Installing applications at selected runtime instances
Inventor: LEMING MATTHEW
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2012-04-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of installing an application at a selected runtime instance. The method starts by receiving a request to install an application, then it accesses data defining the shared resources required by the application, and accesses data defining shared resources already installed at existing runtime instances. Then, an existing runtime instance with the greatest number of installed shared resources common to the shared resources required by the application is selected. Finally the application is installed at the selected runtime instance. The method may maintain a table storing identifiers of the shared resources installed at existing runtime instances. The method may also determine the free capacity available at the existing runtime instances and select the instance with sufficient capacity to install the application. The step of installing the application may include removing from the application those shared resources already present and installing the residual components of the application at the selected runtime instance.
