Publication number: 20230233414Abstract: Method for generating user interface that indicates medication changes in medication starts with a processor detecting a medication change event. Processor retrieves medication information based on the medication change event including images of two medications. Processor generates color difference output using a color neural network, image of first medication and second medication. Color difference output comprises information on a difference in hue, saturation or color distribution. Processor generates medication appearance difference output using medication appearance neural network, image of first medication and second medication. Medication appearance difference output comprises information on a difference in shape, segmentation or form.

Patent number: 9733372Abstract: A method and system for prospecting for gas hydrates and gas hydrates over free gas is disclosed. The method includes using well log data to form a rock physics model to generate synthetic seismic representing hydrate and hydrate-over-gas models. Spectral decomposition is applied to the synthetic seismic and to field seismic from the prospecting area, forming low frequency narrow band data sets. From mapped potential sands in the field data, compare positive amplitude dominated event in the narrow band field data to the narrow band synthetics for gas hydrates. Compare negative amplitude dominated event in the narrow band field data to the narrow band synthetics for gas or gas hydrate-over gas. From these comparisons, perform modeling to determine saturation and thickness for hydrates and hydrates-over-gas.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Fugro Marine Geoservices, Inc.Inventors: Zijian Zhang, Daniel McConnell

Patent number: 9482771Abstract: A method for indicating the presence of free gas charged sands, and/or hydrates over free gas, and/or hydrates not over free gas, the method using well log data and a rock physics model. Velocity and density of background clays and sands are extracted from the well log data. The extracted velocities and densities are used to build a rock physics model. An AVO response is generated that is representative of free gas-charged sands. An AVO response is generated that is representative of hydrates over free gas-charged sands. An AVO response is generated that is representative of hydrates devoid of free gas. The generated AVO responses are used to construct an AVO crossplot diagram that is further used to distinguish deposits of free gas charged sands from hydrates over free gas, from hydrates not over free gas.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Fugro Marine Geoservices, Inc.Inventors: Zijian Zhang, Daniel McConnell
