  • Patent number: 9545333
    Abstract: The eye dropper positioning and guiding apparatus includes a resilient guiding device having a selectively compressible member having a first opening adapted to receive an eye drop applicator and a second opening adapted to position an eye within an area of the second opening to receive a fluid from the eye drop applicator. The selectively compressible member is adapted for selective linear and nonlinear movement in relation to the eye positioned within the area of the second opening. The eye dropper positioning and guiding apparatus can also include a support base and a resilient guiding device including a selectively expandable member having a plurality of concentric loops having an outermost loop and an innermost loop, adapted for selective linear and nonlinear movement, or a support base and a resilient guiding device including a plurality of concentric, interconnected rings adapted for selective linear and nonlinear movement in relation to an eye.

  • Patent number: 9529389
    Abstract: A housing of a computing device, such as a computer, laptop computer, cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, electronic reader or e-reader, or other mobile device constructed using a combination of a metal material and a lightweight core material. The housing includes a front housing component including a display and a rear housing coupled to the front housing component with an internal side of the rear housing facing the front housing. The rear housing component includes a core material and a structural material coupled to the core material at strategic locations. For example, the structural material may be located around a periphery of the rear housing, around connection ports of the electronic device, and diagonally across the external side to provide strength and stiffness to the rear housing.

  • Patent number: 9488562
    Abstract: An example method includes positioning a mass at a height opposite a modulator characterized by a particular strain rate and support by a carrier moveably disposed opposite the mass. The method also includes releasing the mass such that the mass impacts the modulator, and an additional component connected to the carrier causes failure of a sample of material. The method further includes determining a displacement of the carrier corresponding to failure of the sample, determining a force applied to the modulator by the mass and resulting in failure of the sample, and determining at least one of a dynamic strength of the sample and a dynamic modulus of the sample. In such a method, the dynamic strength is based on the force applied to the modulator and the strain rate. Additionally, the dynamic modulus is based on the displacement of the carrier and the strain rate.

  • Publication number: 20120143510
    Abstract: A visualization method for the computation and display of seismic attributes from time-frequency spectral analysis enables high resolution investigation of 3D seismic data for the exploration of oil and gas. First, high frequency resolution time derivative or space derivative of the amplitude and phase spectra of time-windowed signals are computed. Second, the derivatives are transformed into seismic attributes that are suitable for seismic data processing or interpretation. Applications for the method are illustrated with graphical screen 3D volume displays of dip and azimuth, curvature and faults. Aside from providing high resolution these displays may improve the productivity of a seismic interpreter or data processor.

  • Patent number: 8185316
    Abstract: A method and visualization apparatus for spectral analysis of time-and-space varying signals enables high resolution investigation of 3D seismic data for the exploration of oil and gas. The method extrapolates multi-resolution short windows into an average long window then computes its FFT. Extrapolation uses the continuity relationship between data inside and outside of short windows. Applications of the method are illustrated with graphical screen 3D volume displays of amplitude spectra, dip and azimuth, curvature and faults (figure below). Aside from high resolution these displays improve the productivity of a seismic interpreter.
