  • Patent number: 11754736
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for seismic facies identification including receiving a seismic dataset representative of a subsurface volume of interest; applying a model conditioned by petrophysical classifications to the seismic dataset to identify seismic facies and generate a classified seismic image; and identifying geologic features based on the classified seismic image. The method generates seismic facies probability volumes.

  • Publication number: 20210149075
    Abstract: A method is described for lithofacies classification including receiving well logs representative of a subsurface volume of interest; deriving lithofacies from the well logs based on lithofacies cutoffs; calculating thickness of individual beds of the lithofacies; defining thickness thresholds based on the thickness of individual beds; upscaling to filter thin beds from thick beds based on the thickness thresholds; and classifying lithofacies intervals based on the upscaling. The method may be executed by a computer system.

  • Publication number: 20170111699
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method and apparatus for opinion polling of broadcast or live streamed media. The scalable system enables real time analysis and display of continuously updated audience opinion data. A computing device with a touchscreen may be used to input personal opinion, view program content, and observe compiled audience reaction, simultaneously. Content and reaction may also be viewed separately. Granularity of data is substantially improved as is nuanced comprehension of responses. Iterative opinion input is enabled, in both numerical rating and textual comment. Unsolicited, top-of-mind audience reaction is accomodated while latency is reduced to a near conversational level. A rich consumer data base may be correlated to opinion. The apparatus enabling system function communicates tactilly to the user the opinion being output by the device.

  • Patent number: 8943737
    Abstract: A device to attract fish that causes streamlined motion of a line or lure when the device is drawn through water. The device contains a channel through which may be inserted a fishing line or a shaft, a multiplicity of arms extending radially from the exterior of the channel, and a multiplicity of blades connected to the arms, wherein the blades extend from the arms in a direction that is substantially parallel to the direction of the channel.

  • Patent number: 5682274
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for correcting for track misregistration when a slider or head assembly contains a separate read element and write element. The offset is determined at a first position and at a second position of the actuator arm assembly. From these offsets a constant and a multiplier are determined for determining an offset as a function of the cylinder location. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for minimizing distance traveled to prevent misregistration when repositioning between the read element and a write element. The read element is intentionally offset from the write element at an angle so as to minimize the distance traveled across the disk.
