Title: Variable frequency resonant non-destructive borehole seismic source
Inventor: HARPER MARK FRANCIS LUCIEN
IPC: G01V1/155
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: The borehole seismic source is based on a mechanical resonator consisting of a mass 3,23 and a pair of springs 4,24, whose stiffness can be varied by varying their length. The springs are either gas springs 4 with constant pressure or super-linear mechanical springs 24. The resonance is excited mechanically at its natural frequency e.g. by means of an electromagnetic actuator 11,12,31,32. This natural frequency is varied in a controlled manner by varying the stiffness of the springs. The reaction mass excites the casing of the device via the springs. The casing is clamped 13,33 to the well sides 1,21, and produces a strong source of P- and S-waves. The resonator provides an energy reservoir and, when energised, acts in the manner of an impedance transformer, enabling much higher forces to be exerted on the well sides than the forces generated by the electromagnetic actuator. The spring stiffness can be varied continuously to produce a swept sinusoidal output. The source can generate very low frequencies, e.g. 2 Hz.

Abstract: A frame transmission system includes a frame transmitter and a frame receiver (Fig.1, not shown). The transmitter includes a frame fragmentation unit (16) and a reproduction header appending unit (18). The reproduction header is required for reassembly of fragmented frames at the receiver. If an input frame length is less than half of a reference frame length FL, the frame is not fragmented and no reproduction header is appended to then output transfer frame. If the input frame length is between FL/2 and FL, the frame is also not fragmented and a first reproduction header is appended to the transfer frame. If the input frame length is greater than FL, the frame is fragmented and a second reproduction header, longer than the first header, is appended to each fragmented transfer frame.

Title: Operation environment migration support device, programs therefor, and method therefor
Inventor: ILKURA FUMI
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2014-02-24
Abstract: Disclosed is an operation environment migration support method. The method starts by obtaining, from first and second physical servers 7, 8, element information on an element of a virtual resource. Then it obtains subdivided element information which is information on a subdivided element indicative of an element which constructs the element indicated by the element information. The method then determines whether or not types of a communication network and information on the virtual machine which belongs to the communication network match up. Then the method determines that a performance of a subdivided element indicated by subdivided element information obtained from the second physical server exceeds the performance of a subdivided element indicated by element information obtained from the first physical server, and outputs information which indicates that an operation environment for the virtual machine of the first physical server can be migrated to the second physical server.

Title: Method for cell envelope segmentation and visualisation
Inventor: KOSMECKI BARTOSZ
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2014-04-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the segmentation and visualization of cell envelopes. A method is provided for the segmentation and visualization of cavities or orifices of the human body e.g sinus cavities, comprising the steps of manual pre-segmentation of cells by defining enclosing geometric primitives e.g. cuboid, sphere, cylinder or ellipse in a 3D patient image for generating initial cell envelopes. The contents of these envelopes are then analysed to identify the cell anatomy within pre-segmented geometric primitives and using the result of the analysis the cell envelope may be adjusted, possibly using computed voxel affiliations. The cell may then be visualised together with its properties e.g. volume, filling, disease status, drainage pathway and orifices. The segmentation and the cell properties may be used to determine cell linkage and/or recommend a surgical pathway.

The FET source may be grounded, and the drain may be connected to a low noise amplifier wherein a cut-off frequency of a low pass filter formed by the FET impedance and the input capacitance of the low noise amplifier is above working frequencies of the device. The amplifier is connected to a demodulator. Plural such FETs, which may comprise double gate FETs may be connected in parallel (Fig. 8). A second FET may have gate length below the length of the gate of the first FET.
