Publication number: 20170053418Abstract: A method and system is provided for the compression of a video captured from a static camera. A background image and an original image is captured from the static camera. A foreground object is extracted by taking the difference between the transformed original image and the transformed background image. The foreground object is represented as a sparse vector using wavelets. The method revolves around the compressive sensing framework by ingeniously using the complex field BCH codes and the syndrome as measurements to achieve robust background subtraction using reduced number of measurements. The reconstruction is carried out by a Complex-field BCH decoder coupled with block based implementation. According to another embodiment, an adaptive techniques has also been proposed for acquiring the measurements required for recovering the images.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2016Publication date: February 23, 2017Applicant: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Narendra NARSIMHARAO, Mariswamy Girish CHANDRA

Patent number: 9575206Abstract: Neutron activation measurement techniques may be used to evaluate various properties of a subterranean well structure. In an example implementation, a logging tool can be positioned within a wellbore, such that neutrons generated by a neutron source are directed towards well structure. In response to the neutrons, the well structure emits gamma rays. A portion of the gamma rays can be detected by a gamma detector. To enhance the well structure's response to neutron activation, the well structure can be constructed of materials that include one or more doping materials. The inclusion of these doping materials can increase the number of gamma rays that are emitted when neutrons are directed into the well structure, and these emitted gamma rays can be more easily identified based on their energy level.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Weijun Guo, Daniel Francois Dorffer

Patent number: 9574416Abstract: Explosive cutter assemblies and methods include a liner having a single unitary body, and an explosive charge disposed within the liner. The explosive charge includes a continuous unitary body of explosive material having a first area disposed in association with an inner surface of the liner and a second area extending from the center of the assembly to the first area. A detonator can be used to ignite the second area of explosive material, causing propagation of a detonation to the first area, which in turn causes deformation of the liner and projection of the liner toward a target to form a cut. An adaptor sub having a detonator within can be inserted into the cutter assembly to secure the assembly together, position the detonator in association with the explosive material, and engage a conduit usable to raise and lower the cutter assembly and transmit a detonation signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Wright's Well Control Services, LLCInventors: David C.
