Title: Authentication method and device
Inventor: STEVEN JONATHAN BRITTAN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2017-12-18
Abstract: This application is for a method of encoding, or encrypting, data by first generating a challenge code S30, which is based on a pattern associated with a challenge arrangement using duplicated signs, such as matrix pattern authentication. The method then encrypts the challenge code using a one-way hashing function to obtain a temporary encryption key S32. Finally, it generates encoded data by encoding the data using a two-way transcoding function, such as AES, using the temporary encryption key S34. To decrypt the data, the method involves obtaining a challenge code from the user, then encrypting the challenge code using a one-way hashing function to obtain a current encryption key. It then decodes the encoded data if the current encryption key matches the temporary encryption key. The challenge code may use a matrix pattern authentication in a square grid format. The method may also involve deleting the temporary encryption key and the challenge code after it has encoded the data.

Title: Method and apparatus for production logging tool (PLT) results interpretation
Inventor: ANDREY FILIPPOV
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2015-08-21
Abstract: Methods and systems are presented in this disclosure for evaluation of formation properties (e.g., permeability, saturation) based on interpretation of data obtained by production logging tools (PLTs). Based on the PLT data, a production rate for a component (e.g., production fluid) produced by a wellbore can be determined, and a distribution of a property of the component can be initialized along a length of the wellbore. A simulated production rate for the component can be calculated, based on the distribution of the property using a simulator for the wellbore. The distribution of the property can be iteratively adjusted based on the production rate and the simulated production rate, until convergence of the distribution for two consecutive iterations is achieved. A reservoir formation model used for operating the wellbore can be updated based on the adjusted distribution of the property of the component.
