Patent number: 8451685Abstract: A method and system for processing synchronous array seismic data includes acquiring synchronous passive seismic data from a plurality of sensors to obtain synchronized array measurements. A reverse-time data process is applied to the synchronized array measurements to obtain a plurality of dynamic particle parameters associated with subsurface locations. These dynamic particle parameters are stored in a form for display. Maximum values of the dynamic particle parameters may be interpreted as reservoir locations. The dynamic particle parameters may be particle displacement values, particle velocity values, particle acceleration values or particle pressure values. The sensors may be three-component sensors. Zero-phase frequency filtering of different ranges of interest may be applied. The data may be resampled to facilitate efficient data processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Spectraseis AGInventors: Erik Saenger, Brian Steiner, Stefan Schmalholz

Patent number: 7427991Abstract: A system and process for digitally representing a plurality of surface-attached geometric objects on a model. The system and process comprises generating a plurality of particles and placing the plurality of particles on a surface of the model. A first plurality of curves are generated and placed at locations on the model. Characteristics are defined for the first plurality of curves. A second plurality of curves is interpolated from the first plurality of curves at locations of the particles. A plurality of surface-attached geometric objects is generated that replaces all of the particles and the second plurality of curves.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2003Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Armin Bruderlin, Jeffrey M.

Patent number: 6769548Abstract: A packing structure supports an article in a carton, especially a generally trapezoidal vehicle windshield, to be shipped in a corrugated craft carton. The article (possibly a windshield) is suspended by spacers, preferably made of integral die cut and folded blanks, that form resilient cradles along the elongated edge of the article. The carton can be rectilinear, having at each end two spaced side walls coupled by an end wall, generally forming an internal channel portion of the carton, with corners at junctions of the end wall and the side walls. A spacer is arranged to fit into this channel, so as to bear against the sidewalls and the end wall. The spacer defines an elongated substantially V-shaped fold between two V-wall panels. The edge of the article rests in a bottom of the V-shaped fold. The spacer also has two bearing legs that can be coextensive with the V-wall panels. These legs stand in the corners of the internal channel of the carton.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Pioneer Box Company, Inc.Inventors: Ramon B. Morell, Brian Steiner
