Publication number: 20080215524Abstract: A system and method for providing a virtual map database, referred to herein as the “Virtual Database System” (VDB). The VDB allows integration of map data, often from various sources, in a consistent manner for supply to an end user, while simultaneously ensuring that the entity best able to support a particular data source retains control over the data. In accordance with an embodiment, the VDB environment enables third-party data providers to associate their third-party-files with a base map or file-of-reference, thereby allowing for the creation of dynamic relationships between digital map features and other third-party data providers. The integration may be performed in a dynamic or real-time fashion, receiving up-to-date information from the various sources, creating links, and composing virtual maps, as needed or on-demand.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: September 4, 2008Applicant: TELE ATLAS NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Gil Fuchs, Ettie Ettinger, Eric Christopher Crowe, Alan Dale Brown

Patent number: 5007292Abstract: The multicomponent transducer of the present invention comprises a housing interior surfaces forming an enclosed cavity and a single inertial mass immersed in a magnetic fluid contained therein. The inertial mass is levitated in the magnetic fluid by means of ferrohydrodynamic forces. The housing cavity and the inertial mass are generally spherical in shape such that the inertial mass is substantially unconstrained with respect to the directions of motion to which it is responsive. The multicomponent transducer also includes a motion sensing system for sensing selected components of motion of the inertial mass and for generating signals representative of the magnitude and periodicity of the relative motion of the inertial mass with respect to the housing along one or more separate axes. The multicomponent transducer of the present invention has amplitude and phase responses similar to those of conventional transducers.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1989Date of Patent: April 16, 1991Assignee: Amoco CorporationInventors: Christopher Crowe, Ralph L. Cordell, Seun K. Kahng

Patent number: 4729101Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying and separating the effects of elastic and anelastic formation properties in a seismic signal representative of the earth's response to seismic energy imparted therein. The seismic signal is decomposed into a measure of the absorptive contrast and impedance contrast across reflecting boundaries in the earth's subterranean formations. The resulting measures of impedance contrast can be used to obtain a measure of the earth's elastic properties. The resulting measures of the absorptive contrast can be used to obtain measures of the earth's anelastic properties.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1985Date of Patent: March 1, 1988Assignee: Standard Oil CompanyInventors: Kenneth E. Hanson, Christopher Crowe, Albert L. Frisillo, Carl H. Sondergeld, Leon A. Thomsen
