  • Patent number: 7711546
    Abstract: A user interface and associated methods for machine aided authoring and translation is provided. The user interface can display strings and associated metadata to assist with authoring and translations. The metadata can be used to mark the strings. The metadata can include one or more constraints which correspond to evaluation criteria and one or more anchor points operable to project the constraints against a string.

  • Publication number: 20080065478
    Abstract: Described herein is technology for, among other things, providing receiver side services for electronic content. The technology involves determining a price for a specific service to be executed on electronic content to be viewed by a receiver. A redeemable code associated with said pre-determined price is attached to the electronic content. This code, if the receiver chooses to redeem it, allows the receiver of a file to have a service provider perform a pre-priced service to the electronic document that the code relates to. The receiver has a choice to not redeem the code if they are satisfied with the electronic content and then no charge shall be incurred. The charge can be incurred if the receiver chooses to redeem the coupon in which case the service shall be provided to the electronic document.

  • Patent number: 7328610
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for estimating a formation pressure using a formation tester disposed in a wellbore penetrating a formation, said method comprising: (a) establishing fluid communication between a pretest chamber in the downhole tool and the formation via a flowline, the flowline having an initial pressure therein; (b) moving a pretest piston in a controlled manner in the pretest chamber to reduce the initial pressure to a drawdown pressure during a drawdown phase; (c) terminating movement of the piston to permit the drawdown pressure to adjust to a stabilized pressure during a build-up phase and measuring simultaneously in relation to time, pressure P(t) and temperature T(t) in the pretest chamber; (d) extracting an index i(t) dependent of the pressure P(t) and the temperature T(t) informing on the build-up phase; (e) analyzing index i(t) and repeating steps (b)-(d) or going to step (f); (f) determining the formation pressure based on a final stabilized pressure in the flowline.
