  • Publication number: 20070181300
    Abstract: A system and method for enhancing the recovery of heavy oil in an oil extraction environment by feeding nutrients to a preferred microbial species (bacteria and/or fungi). A method is described that includes the steps of: sampling and identifying microbial species that reside in the oil extraction environment; collecting fluid property data from the oil extraction environment; collecting nutrient data from the oil extraction environment; identifying a preferred microbial species from the oil extraction environment that can transform the heavy oil into a lighter oil; identifying a nutrient from the oil extraction environment that promotes a proliferation of the preferred microbial species; and introducing the nutrient into the oil extraction environment.

  • Publication number: 20060101072
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for interpreting scan data. A system is provided that includes: an input system for inputting scan data and associated subject data; a geographic information system (GIS) for generating spatial data from the scan data and allows for the mathematical integration of layered spatial data, and for calculating image attributes from the spatial data; a relational database for storing integrated attribute data from a plurality of subjects, wherein the integrated attribute data includes subject data and image attributes; and an analysis tool for interpreting image attributes of inputted scan data by identifying similar image attributes from the integrated attribute data stored in the relational database.

  • Publication number: 20060079795
    Abstract: A system and method for interpreting electrocardiogram data. A system is provided that clusters raw electrocardiogram (EKG) data into clusters of EKG data; generates a predictive model for each cluster of EKG data; compares inputted patient EKG data with the clusters of EKG data to identify a matching cluster of EKG data; applies the predictive model associated with the matching cluster of EKG data to the inputted patient EKG data; and outputs diagnostic data.
