  • Patent number: 10775524
    Abstract: Raw 3D seismic streamer wavefield data is received as a receiver-ghosted shot gather. The received receiver-ghosted shot gather shot gather is processed into a normalized form as normalized data. The normalized data is partitioned into a plurality of user-defined sub-gathers and processed to generate a complete receiver-deghosted shot gather. Output of the complete receiver-deghosted shot gather is initiated.

  • Patent number: 10450008
    Abstract: Vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, which is equipped with a tailgate which can be pivoted on the rear of the vehicle. The tailgate can be pivoted by way of a pivoting device, around a pivoting axis between a closed position, in which a loading surface of the rear of the vehicle is defined, and an open position in which the loading surface of the rear side is open. In order to pivot the tailgate, the pivoting apparatus includes at least one pivoting arm on which the tailgate can be moved in a translatory manner and can be detachably held in place.

  • Patent number: 9902072
    Abstract: A telepresence system includes a man-machine interface and a teleoperator configured to communicate bidirectionally with the man-machine interface via a communications channel. The teleoperator performs actions based on first signals generated due to a manual operation of the man-machine interface and transmitted over the communication channel, and sends second signals to the man-machine interface over a second communication channel. At least one buffer device buffers signals transferred through the communication channel and releases the signals delayed so that the signals coming from the man-machine interface and the signals coming from the teleoperator each are transmitted through the communication channel with an effective constant time delay.

  • Patent number: 9579793
    Abstract: The invention relates to a robot and a method for controlling a robot. The distance between an object and the robot and/or the derivative thereof or a first motion of the object is detected by means of a non-contact distance sensor arranged in or on a robot arm of the robot and/or on or in an end effector fastened on the robot arm. The robot arm is moved based on the first motion detected by means of the distance sensor, a target force or a target torque to be applied by the robot is determined based on the distance detected between the object and the robot, and/or a function of the robot or a parameterization of a function of the robot is triggered based on the first motion detected and/or a target distance between the object and the robot and/or the derivative thereof detected by means of the distance sensor.

  • Publication number: 20150107840
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for producing oil. The mass action ratio (MAR) of divalent cations to monovalent cations of water from an oil-bearing formation is determined, and an aqueous displacement fluid having a total dissolved solids content of from 200 ppm to 5,000 ppm and a MAR of divalent cations to monovalent cations of from 70% to 130% of the MAR of divalent cations to monovalent cations of the formation water is introduced into the formation. Oil is produced from the formation after introducing the aqueous displacement fluid into the formation.
