Abstract: An electromagnetic induction (/Rifidi) suitcase (including luggage & bag) lock which comprises a shell is provided. The suitcase contains at least one buckle lock set arranged in the shell, which is used to buckle the parts to be locked; a locking component arranged in the shell, which is used to lock or release the buckle lock set; and an electromagnetic induction (/Rifidi) component arranged in the shell, which is used to sense the signal and thus control the operation of the locking component.

Abstract: The present invention incorporates the use of geophysical, geological and formation evaluation data to develop synthetic stratigraphic columns based on depositional rules and sedimentary stacking patterns. The present invention utilizes dynamic assignment and matching whereby the synthetic columns can be easily conformed throughout the reservation characterization process as geological data becomes available.

Abstract: A method for creating a facies probability cube is disclosed. A S-grid containing facies is first created. The grid includes layers of cells and columns of cells. Vertical facies proportion data for the layers of cells is derived from sources such as well data, conceptual vertical geologic sections and graphs describing the proportion of facies found in each of the layers. Areal depocenter maps are created which have defined boundaries to create depocenter regions in which respective facies are likely to occur. Ideally, the boundaries for the depocenter regions for each of the facies are sequentially and independently defined. Horizontal or map facies proportion data are generated for the columns of cells preferably by filtering the depocenter regions so that the proportion of each of the facies ranges from a maximum value to a minimum value.

Abstract: A method for creating a reservoir facies model is disclosed. A S-grid is created which is representative of a subterranean region to be modeled. A training image is constructed which includes a number of facies. The training image captures facies geometry, associations and heterogeneity among the facies. A facies probability cube corresponding to the S-grid is derived from a geological interpretation of the facies distribution within the subterranean region. Finally, a geostatistical simulation, preferably a multiple-point simulation, is performed to create a reservoir facies model which utilizes the training image and facies probability cube and is conditioned to subsurface data and information. Ideally, the facies probability cube is created using an areal depocenter map of the facies which identifies probable locations of facies within the S-grid.

Abstract: A system for controlling task assignment and work schedules includes a database server (1), an application server (2) for users to access and handle information stored in the database server, and a plurality of distributed client computers (4) connected with the application server by a network (3). The database server is used to store rule information on types of tasks, historical records of tasks, and in-process work of employees of an organization. The application server is used to schedule tasks, assign employees to handle the tasks, monitor handling of the tasks, and integrate results of handling of different tasks by different employees all by using the information stored in the database server. The system provides assignment and scheduling of tasks according to the nature of the tasks and in-process work of employees. Current statuses of tasks are accessible in real time. A related method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronously editing an electronic file on different client computers. The system includes a database server (1) for storing original files, an application server (2) electrically connected with the database server for accessing and processing data stored in the database server, and a plurality of client computers (4) electrically connected to the application server for downloading files from and uploading files to the database server. The application server includes a directory managing module (20) for managing directories for the original files stored in the database server, a counter managing module (22) for recording times of downloading of files from and uploading of files to the database server, and a file integrating module (24) for integrating original files and corresponding edited files. The system allows users to edit a file simultaneously, and automatically integrates the original file with edited files uploaded by users.
