Title: System and method for estimating seismic material properties
Inventor: CURTIS ANDREW
IPC: G01V1/32
Filed: 2001-01-19
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A method for estimating near-surface material properties in the vicinity of a locally dense group of seismic receivers is disclosed. The method includes receiving seismic data that has been measured by a locally dense group of seismic receivers. Local derivatives of the wavefield are estimated such that the derivatives are centered at a single location preferably using the Lax- Wendroff correction. Physical relationships between the estimated derivatives including the free surface condition and wave equations are used to estimate near--surface material properties in the vicinity of the receiver group. Another embodiment of the invention is disclosed wherein the physical relationships used to estimate material properties are derived from the physics of plane waves arriving at the receiver group, and the group of receivers does not include any burie d receivers.

Title: Cartouche chauffe-pointe et fer a souder a utiliser avec cette cartouche
Inventor: DUNHAM PAUL ALAN

Granted: 2007-06-26
Abstract: Il s'agit d'une cartouche chauffe-pointe et d'un fer à souder avec manche. Dans la version privilégiée, une gaine de plastique moulée recouvre le corps de la cartouche chauffe-pointe. La gaine est munie d'une clavette radiale qui assure l'orientation de la pointe et du manche et sert de mécanisme de blocage entre la cartouche chauffe-pointe et le manche pour empêcher tout mouvement latéral ou de rotation ainsi que le transfert de pression de la cartouche chauffe-pointe au connecteur électrique. Dans le modèle préconisé, l'extrémité de la clavette, de concert avec la rainure du manche, empêche l'insertion de la cartouche chauffe-pointe dans le manche, ce qui risquerait d'endommager le connecteur électrique. Le joint torique, sur le connecteur électrique, assure l'étanchéité du corps de la cartouche chauffe-pointe pour empêcher la fumée de soudure d'atteindre le connecteur. Le joint torique aide également à retenir la cartouche dans le manche tout en augmentant son appui latéral.

Abstract: A method of analysing seismic survey data in which a transfer function for a geological model is derived by ray tracing techniques applied to theoretical data and the transfer function is applied to actual survey data in order to calculate reflection points (50) and/or other attributes for each shot (42)/receiver (44) pair. The number of ray tracing calculations which have t o be performed in deriving the model transfer function can thus be controlled. A sufficiently accurate transfer function can be derived using theoretical dat a representing substantially fewer shot (42)/receiver (44) pairs than are used in the traditional ray tracing solution applied directly to actual survey data. Attribute values for actual source (42)/receiver (44) pairs are estimated by interpolating the transfer function data.

Title: System and method for displaying advertising in an interactive program guide
Inventor: GERBA GEORGE
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2001-08-14
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: An interactive program guide containing schedule data for multiple channels and advertising data is provided to viewers on a screen. The advertising may be related to the programs adjacent thereto in the guide and to time slots displayed on the screen. The advertising scrolls in various directions in response to the viewer's scrolling of the grid (200), but at a different pace and according to a different scheme than the scrolling the schedule data itself. For example, the advertising cells (204) may remain on the screen in a predetermined location while the viewer scrolls the schedule data, and then scroll off the screen to be replaced by new ads after a predetermined number of channels scroll off the screen, or on the basis of time slots and/or adjacent channels displayed on the screen. This provides for greater viewer attention to the advertising and for greater control by advertisers over the manner and length in which advertising is presented to viewers.

Granted: 2008-12-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a motorized machine which includes an electrical system monitoring system which results in detecting arcing in the electrical distribution system of the machine and the ability to provide notification and protection for such arcing. The system functions to monitor the electrical distribution system of the machine to sense the frequencies of signals in the system using appropriate filtering. One type of filtering which may be used is based upon a heterodyning circuit which provides variable frequency filtering for filtering a signal representative of the current in at least one electrical circuit of the machine. The heterodyning circuit output is configured to produce a signal which may be logarithmically related to the filtered signal. If the output signal exceeds a predetermined limit (representative of noise) for a predetermined period (representative of a typical arc duration), the system generates an arc signal. The arc signal may then be used to operate a circuit interrupter or an indicator in a circuit protection system or both.
