Abstract: A method for field development includes receiving input data representing a subterranean volume, generating a multi-domain model of the subterranean volume, statistically sampling one or more of the realizations of the multi-domain model based at least in part on an uncertainty associated therewith, simulating the sampled one or more of the realizations using a field development planning engine, and generating a field development plan based at least in part on the simulated one or more of the realizations.

Abstract: A method of creating and using a software application module includes coding, by a developer, a software application module for extending a functionality of a main software application. The software application module is adapted to interface with the main software application using an application programming interface (API). The method further includes compiling the software application module to produce an executable software application module, determining if the developer is authorized to use the API, and embedding a watermark in the executable software application module if it is determined that the developer is authorized to use the API. The method still further includes executing the main software application, reading the watermark from a executable software application module, verifying if the watermark is correct, and executing the software application module if the watermark is verified as correct.

Abstract: A formulation comprising at least one active or at least one ingredient, and a plurality of micro-capsules formed from a plurality of micro-organisms and having at least one flavouring encapsulated and passively retained within said micro-capsules, said flavouring not being a natural constituent of said micro-organisms, said micro-capsules having: (a) an at least substantially intact cell wall; and (b) an intact cell membrane; wherein said at least one active or said at least one ingredient is foul-tasting and said at least one flavouring masks, disguises or neutralises the foul-taste of said at least one active or said at least one ingredient, preventing a patient to whom said formulation is orally administered from tasting said foul-tasting active, or causing the flavour of said foul-tasting at least one active or ingredient to be reduced such that it is more palatable. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing said formulations.

Abstract: Preform useful for encapsulating semiconductors and other electric or electronic devices are prepared by a process which comprises warming thermoset resin to form a melt, injecting it into a mold, and cooling to form a solidified molding, all without substantially curing the thermoset resin.
