Abstract: Methods that support the analysis of digital images through the distributed and integrated processing of raster and vector digital data in a computer cluster environment, the set of methods including a particular strategy for distributing the processing of spatial context-aware operations over distributed datasets, as well as specific methods for the structuring of operations aimed at calculating spectral and topological properties of image objects, and for the resolution of spatial conflicts among objects.

Abstract: A device for laser drilling, having: (a) a laser module (310), having a plurality of laser subsystems (200), each one of the laser subsystems (200) having an active optical fiber (240), wound in a shape of hollow coil and packaged inside a hollow cylindrical box (210), and at least one diode laser (220) mechanically connected perpendicularly to the hollow cylindrical box (210) and optically coupled to the core of the active optical fiber (240) wound and packaged inside the hollow cylindrical box (210), the laser module (310) having a tubular shape allowing cooling and drilling fluids to flow through the concentric hollow cores of the tubular laser module (310) and of the cylindrical box (210); and (b) an optical drill head (100), the optical drill head having an end (130) with orifices (110 and 120), and a body (140).

Abstract: Mathematical modeling of the flow and spreading mechanics of a cryogenic fluid poured into the sea forming a pool, and the subsequent thermal plume coming from fires of turbulent diffusion, with conservative integral formulation considering the balance between the quantity poured from the ship and that which vaporizes in the pool. The contributions of the mechanisms of heat transfer at the interface between the substrate and the cryogenic film and the radiative feedback coming from the combustion in the lowest region of the thermal plume and the pool are taken into account. The modeling provides a scheme for the development of dimensionless scale parameters, allows correlation and extrapolation of the length or height of the visible flame with the slope of said flame, the emissive power of its surface, and mass flow rate of vaporization of the liquid fuel in the pool.

Abstract: Equipment for laser-drilling having an optical component or feed module with a set of lasers, the active optical fiber, in the form of hollow coil, the excitation of the laser active medium made through the coupling of the light emitted by laser diodes inside the active fiber, and a mechanical component that is an optic drill bit with a hollow rigid body and an end of any geometry, the drill bit having leaky orifices for the optical fibers connection or bundle of optical fibers with drill bit walls and orifices to allow the drilling and cooling fluids are released in the surface to be drilled, the optical fibers being provided from the feed module. The feed module generates high intensity light generation that through optical fibers is guided to the optic drill bit. The feed module and the optic drill bit are coupled to a drill string.
