Title: Remote reservoir resistivity mapping
Inventor: SRNKA LEONARD J
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A method for surface estimation of reservoir properties, wherein location of and average earth resistivities above, below, and horizontally adjacent to the reservoir (3) are first determined using data in the vicinity of the reservoir (3). Then dimensions and probing frequency for an electromagnetic source (4,5) are determined to maximize transmitted vertical and horizontal electric currents at the reservoir (3). Next, the source (4,5) is activated approximately centered above the reservoir (3) and a plurality of components of electromagnetic response is measured with a receiver array (10).  Geometrical and electrical parameter constraints are determined using the data. Finally, the electromagnetic response is processed using the geometrical and electrical constraints to produce inverted vertical and horizontal resistivity depth images.

Title: Method and system for the copying of documents
Inventor: SILVERBROOK KIA
IPC: A63F13/30
Filed: 2000-10-20
Abstract: The invention concerns a system and method enabling the copying of documents.  It has specific application to the archiving and retrieval, and the scanning and reproduction, of documents which are or which may be capable of interacting with a computer system or network. Such a document has coded data printed on it allowing it to interact with the computer system or network by use of a sensing device operated by a user. Specifically, the method involves scanning a document which may contain both document information and coded data indicative of an identity of the document, forming a digital image of the document, and detecting, if the document contains said coded data indicative of the identity of the document, the coded data. If the document does contain such coded data, stored data representing the content of the document is accessed, and, depending on the operating instructions, either a copy of the document is printed, together with coded data indicative of an identity of the copy being printed on the copy, or data representing a copy of the document is stored, the stored data including a unique identifier for said copy. The invention can be employed for the printing of documents, the archiving and retrieval of documents, and the scanning and reproduction of documents. In copying documents, it can be used to produce pages of far higher quality than those produced by conventional photocopying means, often irrespective of the physical quality of the page to be copied.

Title: Volume meter testing device
Inventor: PURCELL D GLENN
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: A test device adapted to test a concentration of an analyte in a fluid has a pickup area having a first volume for receiving the fluid. In fluid communication with the pickup area is a read area having a second volume, which is less than the first volume.

Patent CA-2393313-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLESON BRETT C
IPC: D06F34/28
Filed: 2002-07-12
Abstract: A laundry appliance can be selectively operated in either manual or automatic modes of operation. In the automatic mode, a laundering operation is initiated upon receiving a single cycle input parameter from the user, preferably through an LCD touch screen display, while relying on additional operating cycle parameters established by factory preset settings or prior consumer established preferences. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a consumer need merely select a single cycle parameter and the appliance will start based on temperature and other setting parameters taken from memory. However, even with the automatic start feature activated, the user will still be able to adjust pre-established cycle parameters by changing default values after the cycle has started.

IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an auction processing system, wherein one or more persons may participate in an auction provided by such system using a networked remote computer. The auction processing system comprises: (a) a host computer which is capable of communication with at least one remote computer;  (b) means for generating currency, wherein the currency is generated by interaction with the host computer by a user of the remote computer; and (c) means for enabling acquisition of one or more lots of merchandise through an auction format whereby such acquisition is through use of the generated currency. Thus, importantly, the currency utilized in the auction is generated by interaction with the host computer (e.g., responding to games, polls, and surveys). The currency generated through such interaction may be monetary or otherwise, preferably otherwise. Thus, the currency generated may be, e.g., point valuations, whereby the auctioned good or service is obtained in exchange for generated point valuations. Thus, the present invention is further directed to methods of managing an auction comprising: (a) providing a host computer which is capable of communication with at least one remote computer; (b) enabling the generation of currency comprising providing means for interacting with the host computer by a user of the remote computer; and (c) enabling acquisition of one or more lots of merchandise through an auction format whereby such acquisition is through use of the generated currency.
