Title: Method for seismic data acquisition and processing
Inventor: JOHAN ROBERTSSON
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2019-05-13
Abstract: Methods are described for computing imaging conditions and model gradients from adjoint wavefields in reverse time migration and full waveform inversion which require the correlation of forward and reverse time extrapolated source and receiver wavefields. One aspect relates to forming a third wavefield from the union of first and second seismic wavefields. The third wavefield is introduced as boundary conditions along at least one boundary within a wave propagation. An image is accumulated by correlating first and second representations derived from the third wavefield with each other at at least one discrete time step during the propagation. The first and second wavefields may be source and receiver wavefields respectively. A reverse time extrapolation (RTE) may be performed 703 while simultaneously injecting the source and receiver wavefields along boundaries. An image may be accumulated 704 during the RTE by correlating the reverse extrapolated superposition of wavefields with itself.

Title: Three-dimensional reconstruction of automated lighting fixtures and their operational capabilities
Inventor: DENNIS VARIAN
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2019-12-10
Abstract: A 3D (computer generated, virtual) model of a lighting fixture (102) is generated by receiving first and second scanning data (e.g. image, LIDAR (108)) related to the fixture in a first and second configuration respectively. The first and second scanning data are compared, and 3D mesh reconstruction of the fixture in both configurations is performed based on the first and second scanning data. A 3D model is generated based on the first and second configurations of the fixture (as determined by the mesh reconstruction) representing a fixture operational capability. Adjusting from the first to second configuration may comprise panning, tilting, zooming, shutter or iris movement, adding or rotating a gobo, or adjusting a colour, brightness, shape or focus of a light produced by the fixture. The comparison may enable an approximation of the fixture pan or tilt axis. The scanning data may include images of the fixture and images of light projected on a surface by the fixture. A selection of an operation of the fixture may be received, and a limitation of fixture operation may be determined based on the model which leads to an indication on a user interface (104A-104D) of the operational capability limitation.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlling a characteristic of an optical mode
Inventor: JORGE BARRETO
IPC: G02F1/313
Filed: 2020-06-23
Abstract: A method for controlling an optical mode 22 supported by a waveguide 6 comprises providing a substance 10 (e.g. a noble gas, such as Xenon) close to a control area 26 of the waveguide and controlling at least one energy emitter (e.g. laser 28, or heating element 30 – see figure 3a) to reversibly switch between first and second modes of operation. Switching between the first and second modes causes the substance to reversibly change between two states of matter (e.g. from liquid 10,18 to gas 10,20, or from solid directly to gas via sublimation), each state corresponding to a different optical waveguide characteristic. The change of state alters the refractive index of the material 4 surrounding the waveguide core 6 which may be used to effect optical switching and other applications such as tuning of resonant cavities, optical couplings or wavelengths. The method may be undertaken in a temperature- and pressure-controlled environment, such as a cryogenic chamber (52 – see figure 5), in which a controller 54 is able to monitor the optical mode via a sensor and make adjustments to the cryogenic chamber pressure and Xenon content. Also disclosed is an apparatus for controlling an optical mode characteristic supported by a waveguide which performs the method and receives a signal from a sensor monitoring the optical mode characteristic.
