Abstract: A superconductive cable line, comprising an insulating pipe (2) for fluid through which a liquid hydrogen (1) is carried, a superconductive cable (10) stored in the insulating pipe (2) for fluid, and a heat exchange means performing heat exchange between the liquid hydrogen (1) and the cable (10).  Since the superconductive cable (10) comprises cable cores in an insulating pipe for cable and is stored in the insulating pipe (2) for fluid, the outer periphery of the cable (10) is exposed to a low temperature environment and the superconductive cable is formed in a double insulating structure in association with the insulating pipe (2). As a result, since a heat invading into the superconductive cable (10) is lowered and a refrigerant is cooled by the liquid hydrogen (1), an energy cooling the refrigerant can be reduced.

IPC: G01C21/32
Filed: 2007-01-24
Abstract: Displaying a map on a wireless communications device includes steps of obtaining map data for rendering the map to be displayed on the wireless communications device, determining a rotation that, when applied to the map, will orient a selected path in a selected direction, such as a current direction of travel, generating a corrected rotation by applying a spherical correction factor, e.g. based on a current location, and rendering the map on a display of the wireless communications device by applying the corrected rotation. The spherical correction factor corrects for map distortions that occur at high latitudes for paths that are neither purely north-south or east-west. When such a path is rotated to face upward to show direction of travel, the path needs to be straightened by applying the spherical correction factor.

Inventor: HILL N ROSS
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2005-09-01
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.
