Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for scalably and efficiently converting linear image data into multi-dimensional image data for multimedia applications. In one example, a method for managing image data includes receiving a line of image data in a linear format via a system bus of width T, wherein the image data's native format is a tile format of H lines per tile; forming H subsets of image data from the line of image data in the linear format; writing the H subsets of image data to a memory comprising BN=H banks of BW=T/BN pixel width, wherein each subset of the H subsets is written to a different bank of the BN banks; and outputting the H subsets of image data in the tile format.

Abstract: The present application relates to papaya plants having increased resistance to the papaya ringspot virus as compared to a wild type plant due to a mutation in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e and/or eukaryotic translation initiation factor iso4e gene leading to non-functional eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e and/or eukaryotic translation initiation factor iso4e proteins. Methods of producing such papaya plants having increased resistance to the papaya ringspot virus are described.

Abstract: A method for determining a dip of a geological structure in a subterranean formation, involves generating, using a 3D resistivity analyzer, a first intermediate result describing the dip of the geological structure based on 3D resistivity data collected from a borehole penetrating the subterranean formation. The method further involves generating, using a borehole image analyzer, a second intermediate result describing the dip of the geological structure based on a borehole image collected from the borehole. The method further involves generating, by a computer processor combining the first intermediate result and the second intermediate result based on a pre-determined criterion, an integrated result describing the dip of the geological structure.

Abstract: A method and a device useful for identifying or detecting the presence of a material of interest, such as an explosive or a biological contaminant, in a sample is presented herein. The sample is illuminated with electromagnetic radiation at a predetermined set of wavelengths. An example of an illumination source includes a quantum cascade laser (QCL). The radiation reflects from a sample and is detected at pixels of a detector. Examples of the detectors include digital focal plane array (DFPA) cameras. Intensity of the reflected radiation is measured at each illumination wavelength. The pixels can be configured to add weighted intensities of the reflected radiation, the weights of the intensities being based on a predicted optical response value for the sample at the wavelengths of the first set and the second set of wavelengths. Based on the sum of weighted intensities of the reflected radiation, the likelihood that the material is present within the sample is determined.

The method can include sending a first measurement message generated based at least in part on a first channel quality measurement in unassured mode. The method can further include determining whether a handover message is received within a timeout period following sending the first measurement message. In an instance in which it is determined that a handover message is not received within the timeout period, the method can additionally include determining an updated channel quality measurement and sending a new measurement message generated based at least in part on the updated channel quality measurement in unassured mode.

Abstract: A handheld device includes a host database having first and second API associated therewith, a client database and a notification handler. The notification handler sends a request for notification of a change in the host database to the first API and receives the notification of the change in the host database after the change has occurred in the host database. The notification handler then requests contents of the host database from the second API and requests contents from the client database. These contents are then compared by the notification handler to identify the change in the host database. The notification handler then sends a command to update the client database based upon the change in the host database such that changes made in the host database of the handheld device may be continuously synchronized with the user's desktop computer via a wireless communication network.

Abstract: Computer-based method and system are disclosed for interpreting dips, dip trends, and mineral based lithofacies data to identify certain geological events in a subsurface formation. The disclosed method/system analyzes dip magnitude and azimuth data to determine the dip trends in the formation. The dip trends are then examined for indications of the presence of certain depositional events, such as build-ups, flow directions instances of scour and fill, direction to thalweg, parallel bedding, indications of fault, and the like. If lithofacies data is available the disclosed method/system can also analyze this data to identify the presence of interbedded sequences and condensed sections. Such an integrated solution saves geoscientists and interpreters an enormous amount of time compared to existing interpretation techniques, allowing them to be much more productive. The disclosed system/method may also be used to help train new and less experienced geoscientists and interpreters.
