Patent number: 10926134Abstract: A method for locating a golf ball including changing a temperature of a golf ball from a first temperature to a second temperature before use or marking the ball by reflective (mirror) or fluorescent material (e.g., NIR-IR fluorescent dye). The temperature changed ball is struck. Using either a thermal imaging camera with an imaging processing unit or a near-infrared (NIR) imaging camera with an imaging processing unit to produce a digital image of a part of the golf course with a potential golf ball location. An image processing technique is applied to produce an enhanced image of the golf ball location. A thermal imaging camera and a NIR imaging camera for locating a golf ball are described. A non-transitory computer readable media is described.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: TechnoImaging, LLCInventors: Michael S. Zhdanov, Leif H. Cox, Vladimir Burtman

Patent number: 10267943Abstract: Some examples of monitoring hydrocarbon reservoirs using induced polarization effect includes inducing polarization in a subterranean zone using an induced polarization fluid. The subterranean zone includes first formations and second formations. A quantity of hydrocarbons in the first formations is greater than quantity of hydrocarbons in the second formations. The induced polarization data is obtained from the subterranean zone. A portion of the induced polarization data from the first formations is different from a portion of the induced polarization data from the second formations. The second formations in the subterranean zone are identified based on the obtained induced polarization data.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Alberto F. Marsala, Michael S. Zhdanov, Vladimir Burtman

Publication number: 20110175603Abstract: A new ultra-sensitive magnetometer is disclosed and described. The ultra-sensitive magnetometer relies on non-tunneling magneto-transport (MT) and control of MT in organic solid state devices. These organic devices can have different active components as magnetic and non-magnetic polymers and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Magnetic field sensors can include a pair of electrodes spaced apart from one another. An organic layer can be oriented between the pair of electrodes to form an organic solid state device, wherein at least one of the organic layer and electrodes is magnetic and when the organic layer is not magnetic the organic layer comprises a self assembled monolayer and the magnetic field sensor operates under non-tunneling magnetic spin transport.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2009Publication date: July 21, 2011Inventors: Vladimir Burtman, Michael S.
