Patents by Inventor Chun Y. Ma

Chun Y. Ma has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9835460
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method that identifies GPS shifting fields for road segments, the GPS shifting fields including areas around the road segments that include false GPS readings of objects that traveled on the road segments. The GPS shifting fields can be revised with a road segment attribute and/or at a driver preference. The road map network can be partitioned into space units, where the road map network can include at least two GPS readings of the object. For each space unit that includes a road segment, a probability that the object was located on the road segment can be calculated for each road segment based on the GPS readings of the object and the GPS shifting fields. The trajectory of the object can be determined based on the computing of the probabilities.

  • Publication number: 20150120195
    Abstract: In an approach for identifying subsurface material layers, a computer processor: acquires a well log of a location to be explored, the log comprising data corresponding to multiple geophysical parameters, the data of each parameter comprising measurement values of the parameter at different depths underground; matches a reference data of each parameter corresponding to each of multiple layer transition types with the data of that parameter in the well log at depths underground, wherein each layer transition type indicates an upper material layer and a lower material layer, and the reference data is used to represent a variation trend of the parameter in a transitional zone conforming with the layer transition type; and according to the matching result, determines a layer transition type at the location to be explored and a depth of an interface between the upper material layer and the lower indicated by the layer transition type.
