That is, the transient response (A2) at the leading edge of a pulse wave overlaps the wave form (B2) generated at the trailing end. Also claimed is a method in which the sampling time of a sampler and holder (65, fig 6) or the frequency of the drive signal is set such that the degree of variation in the level signal of the sampler holder is minimized.

Title: Identifying features of interest in displays of geological objects
Inventor: BAKKE JAN OEYSTEIN HAAVIG
IPC: G01V1/34
Filed: 2012-01-18
Abstract: A computer-implemented method enables identification of a feature of interest in a set of data points distributed throughout a geological object. Each data point contains a value for a geological attribute at that point. The method involves displaying the object using display codings (e.g. different colours) such that all data points that have a attribute value within a given subrange of values are displayed with the same coding. The end values of the subranges are repeatedly adjusted, and the object redisplayed, until the feature of interest is identifiable. A user can then select some data points on the feature of interest. A search expression can then be defined based on the selected points. The search expression has a plurality of entries. The method includes allocating value characters to entries of the search expression, the value characters corresponding to the value subranges for the geological attribute of the selected data points. The data points are then searched for arrangements of data points having geological attributes matching the search expression, and redisplaying the geological object indicating the positions of the matched data points.
