Patent number: 9121964Abstract: A method to parameterize the geometry of a geological, subsurface feature such as a salt body is provided. Data corresponding to a subsurface, geological formation is acquired. The acquired formation data corresponds to a subsurface body having a certain geometry and a subsurface region. At least part of the subsurface body geometry is directly inverted into an inversion domain. The direct inversion includes partitioning the inversion domain into a first partitioned region, corresponding at least in part to the subsurface body, and a second partitioned region. The inversion further uses a level set representation to parameterize the subsurface body geometry. A computing system that includes a processor, a memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory is also provided. The programs comprise instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to perform the provided method.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.Inventors: Winston R. Lewis, Eugene William Starr, Jason Dressel

Publication number: 20120022351Abstract: A method and system of supplying rodents, such as mice, to medical researchers pre-installs and/or embeds physiologic sensors onto or within the rodents prior to selling the modified rodents to the researchers. The specialty skills, such as small animal surgical and anesthesia skills and sensor placement and testing, are centralized in one organization rather than being spread about a collection of researchers. The subjects with preinstalled, pre-tested hardware, are sold to the researcher as needed. Communication hardware and software will be supplied for the user to convert their desktop computer into a wireless monitoring station. Additionally an external pulse oximeter for small rodents, such as mice, provides measurements on a hand or foot of the rodent with a sensor configured to avoid shunting around the rodent appendage, and configured for high heart rates (200-900 beats per minutes) of the subjects.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: STARR LIFE SCIENCES CORP.Inventor: Eric William Starr

Publication number: 20080011763Abstract: A lid for a bowl of a food processor for processing a relatively large size or large volume of foodstuff including a top lid wall and a feed tube extending from the top lid wall along a feed axis. The feed tube including an inner feed surface defining a feed cavity and a mouth for accessing the feed cavity. A feed tube lid is movably secured to the mouth of the feed tube. A food pusher is movably mounted to the feed tube lid. The food pusher and feed tube lid cover the mouth of the feed tube when the feed tube lid and food pusher are in a working position. The food pusher is movable relative to the feed tube in first and second directions in the working position. The first direction is generally parallel to the feed axis and the second direction is generally perpendicular to the feed axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: HAMILTON BEACH/PROCTOR-SILEX, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Mauch, Jennifer O'Flynn, William Starr, Francesco Carnevale, James Hallar

Publication number: 20070151463Abstract: A toaster for heating foodstuffs includes a chassis having a cavity therein and having at least one chassis opening for accessing the cavity. A door is movable with respect to the chassis between a closed position in which the door substantially covers the chassis opening, and an open position in which the cavity is accessible through the chassis opening. A carriage with at least one slot movable between a first position disposed completely within the cavity and a second position extending at least partially from the cavity through the chassis opening. The toaster has a heating configuration in which the carriage is in the first position and the door is in the closed position to confine the foodstuff being heated and create a generally enclosed chamber within the cavity in which heat and moisture loss is controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2007Publication date: July 5, 2007Applicant: HAMILTON BEACH/PROCTOR-SILEX, INC.Inventors: William Starr, Nhiem Nguyen, Terry Myers, Paul Blankenship, Adam Steinman
