Title: Method and system for determining parameter distribution, variance, outliers and trends in systems
Inventor: HILLIER ANDREW D
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2007-06-22
Abstract: A system and method for generating statistical reports showing distribution, variance, outliers and trends for parameters across a set of systems is provided. The reports are generated based on audited data for each system that pertains to the parameters.

A variance report assesses the conformity of one or more target systems against a reference data set comprised of a set of baseline systems. The report compares each target system individually against the reference data set to measure the consistency of the target's parameters. A trend report shows trends in the uniformity and conformity measures of the parameters by comparing the statistical analysis results of sets of systems at two or more points in time or the different systems at the same time.

Patent CA-2666695-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for downhole telemetry
Inventor: PETROVIC VICTOR
IPC: E21B47/13
Filed: 2007-04-13
Abstract: A system and method are provided for providing electromagnetic (EM) measurement-while-drilling (MWD) telemetry capabilities using an existing mud-pulse MWD tool. An EM tool intercepts the output from the mud-pulse tool and generates an EM signal that mimics a mud-pulse pressure signal. The EM signal is intercepted at the surface by a receiver module that conditions the signal and inputs the signal into the existing pulse tool receiver. Since the EM  signal mimics a mud-pulse signal, the pulse tool receiver does not require software or hardware modifications in order to process an EM telemetry mode. The EM tool can be adapted to also provide dual telemetry by incorporating a conventional pressure pulser that would normally be used with the pulse tool.

Abstract: A first multi-dimensional digital image of a scan region is generated. The scan region is included in a detection apparatus and is configured to receive and move containers through the detection apparatus. A background range of values is ac-cessed, the background range of values representing a range of values associated with non-target materials and the background range of values being distinct from values associated with the target materials. A  value of a voxel included in the multi-dimensional digital image is compared to the background range of values to determine whether the value of the voxel is within the background range of values. If the value of the voxel is within the background range of values, the voxel is identified as a voxel representing a back-ground material. A second multi-dimensional digital image that disregards the identified voxel is generated to compress the first multi-dimensional digital image.
