  • EFFICIENT INTEGRATION OF DATA INTO ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20230267467
    Abstract: Data can be efficiently integrated into environments. A location index consisting of a hierarchical arrangement of location tags can be defined for a planet. Each location tag can represent a cell in a hierarchical arrangement of grids where each cell encompasses a location on the planet. Location tags can be associated with data to allow the data relevant to a location in the environment to be quickly and efficiently retrieved using the location tags. Other indexes can be used to define hierarchical arrangements of other tags to further facilitate retrieving relevant data for integration in the environment. Location tags can be used to tag transactions recorded in a blockchain.

  • Method for determining geological surface and subsurface resistivity
    Patent number: 9523785
    Abstract: A method for determining geological subsurface resistivity. The method includes obtaining a set of lightning parameters associated with a lighting strike received by a geological volume of material, the set of lightning parameters including an indicium of the current of the lightning strike at a first initial time and an indicium of the current of the lightning strike at a first decay time subsequent to the first initial time, and inferring the resistance of the volume of geological material, at least in part, from the set of lightning parameters.
