Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for measured value simulation. The method including the steps of: observing measured values of an event to provide observed values, where the step of observing starts at a predetermined observation time; concurrently running a plurality of simulations, where the simulations have behaviors that are characterized by different parameters and start at the predetermined observation time; producing a discrete distribution at a predetermined timing after the predetermined observation time, where the discrete distribution are based on distances between the measured values provided by the predetermined timing and calculation of the simulations; and producing a second plurality of simulations based on the discrete distribution.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling wellbore trajectories using curvature bridging functions. The systems and methods use a clothoid spiral as a bridging curve in the transition zones to reduce tubular stresses/failures in the design of multilateral well paths and extended reach well paths.

Abstract: In a modeling environment, a composite signal configuration element is provided. The composite signal configuration element configures one or more signals of a composite signal having a selectable grouping of the one or more signals. Configuring signals of a composite signal allows for the selectable creation, editing, and separation of composite signals. In some embodiments, hierarchical composite signals may be selectably created edited or separated into individual signals. In certain embodiments the composite signal configuration element may include additional functionality for performing operation on the composite signal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include defining an input bus signal in a graphical block diagram model by associating the input bus signal with a first group of signals, at least two of the first group of signals having a different data type; defining an output bus signal in the graphical block diagram model by associating the second bus signal with a second group of signals, each of the second group of signals corresponding to one of the first group of signals; defining an input to a non-virtual operation block in the graphical block diagram model as the input bus signal; defining an output to the non-virtual operation block in the graphical block diagram as the output bus signal; and simulating an operation performed on the input bus signal by the non-virtual operation block, the operation being performed on each of the first group of signals and output to each of the second group of signals.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a digital model of at least a part of an object referenced to a global coordinate system. An initial digital model, referenced to a local coordinate system associated with the optical device and representative of the respective part, is provided using an optical device at a relative location with respect to the object. The optical device has a plurality of visually exposed optical markers, at known locations with respect to the optical device and referenced to a marker coordinate system. The location of the optical device with respect to an external camera arrangement is determined, based on relating the relative locations of the markers with respect to one another, as they appear from a viewpoint of the external camera arrangement, to their relative locations as referenced to the marker coordinate system. The camera viewpoint is at a known location referenced to the global coordinate system.

Abstract: A method includes receiving data values associated with one of a position and orientation of a simulated scanner relative to an object. Image values are calculated, substantially in real-time, based on the data values. A simulated ultrasound image is rendered in a graphical display based on the image values. The simulated ultrasound image is representative of an interior or a simulated interior of the object on the ultrasound scan plane.
