Title: Methods for earth modeling and seismic imaging using interactive and selective updating
Inventor: HILL N ROSS
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2005-09-01
Granted: 2014-11-04
Abstract: A method for creating an enhanced seismic image is described. Seismic data is acquired from a seismic survey conducted over a subterranean region. The seismic data is transformed into energy components, preferably Gaussian beam components. An earth model is created which is comprised of lens elements. The set of energy components is propagated or migrated through the lens elements to form image components which are combined into a seismic image. A target is identified in the seismic image for image enhancement. Ray tracing may be used to select the trial set of lens elements to be updated and to select a subset of energy components. The subset of energy components is propagated through updated earth model to form updated image components. The seismic image is updated by replacing image components with updated image components which are formed from the subset of selected energy components. This subset is ideally greatly reduced in size relative to the overall number of energy components, i.e., beam components.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of creating a set of spreading codes for use in a satellite navigation system comprising a constellation of satellites. Each satellite in the constellation is to be allocated a spreading code from the set of spreading codes. The method comprises generating an initial set of bit patterns (105), where each bit pattern represents a potential spreading code, and performing an optimisation process on the initial set of bit patterns (110). The optimisation process modifies at least some of the bit patterns in the initial set to create a final set of bit patterns for use as the set of spreading codes (115) for the satellite navigation system. Receivers that support the satellite navigation system incorporate the final set of bit patterns for use in signal acquisition and position determination.

Title: Receiver for wireless communication network with extended range
Inventor: WALTON JAY RODNEY
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2006-05-24
Granted: 2012-05-15
Abstract: Techniques for detecting and demodulating a signal/transmission are described.  Signal detection is performed in multiple stages using different types of signal processing, e.g., using time-domain correlation for a first stage, frequency-domain processing for a second stage, and time-domain processing for a third stage. For the first stage, products of symbols are generated for at least two different delays, correlation between the products for each delay and known values is performed, and correlation results for all delays are combined and used to declare the presence of a signal. For demodulation, the timing of input samples is adjusted to obtain timing-adjusted samples. A  frequency offset is estimated and removed from the timing-adjusted samples to obtain frequency-corrected samples, which are processed with a channel estimate to obtain detected symbols. The phases of the detected symbols are corrected to obtain phase-corrected symbols, which are demodulated, deinterleaved, and decoded.

Abstract: Un aspect des caractéristiques techniques est l'utilisation d'une entité virtuelle pour représenter le point d'étranglement d'une largeur de bande dans un réseau. Les espaces du réseau où la largeur de bande n'a pas besoin d'être gérée peuvent être modélisés en zones. Ce modèle permet une plus grande souplesse puisque le point d'étranglement de la largeur de bande peut représenter un ensemble de composantes (p. ex., routeurs) ou une partie d'une composante réelle (p. ex. un routeur peut être représenté par plusieurs points d'étranglement virtuels ayant différents buts.). Ce modèle permet également à l'utilisateur de décider des points de son réseau qui devraient être gérés, indépendants de l'infrastructure de réseau de données sous-jacent. Ces entités virtuelles peuvent être placées entre les zones du réseau et configurées selon des politiques précises. L'utilisation de la largeur de bande dans ces entités virtuelles peut être suivie et comparée à la limite de largeur de bande configurée disponible pour l'application à chaque point d'étranglement. Lorsque la largeur de bande disponible au point d'étranglement est complètement utilisée, des appels supplémentaires peuvent être bloqués ou réacheminés. Les politiques peuvent être appliquées pour permettre à certains appels d'être traités malgré le fait que la largeur de bande est entièrement utilisée ou pour bloquer certains appels lorsque l'utilisation de la largeur de bande approche le niveau maximal. La gestion de la largeur de bande peut être distribuée ou centralisée et l'information partagée sur un réseau distribué.
