Abstract: Implementations of various technologies for a method for processing seismic data. In one implementation, the method may include receiving a record of seismic data. The record of seismic data may have a plurality of attributes. A first seismic data process may be performed on the record of seismic data. The first seismic data process may generate a plurality of datasets. A selection of a portion of the plurality of attributes for ranking the datasets may be received. A quality score may be determined for each attribute of the portion of the plurality of attributes for each dataset. A ranking may be determined for each dataset based on the quality score.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to an electronic gaming device including one or more processors, a memory, and one or more display devices. The electronic gaming device further includes a left surround audio device, a right surround audio device, a dialog enhancing center channel speaker, a low frequency effects device, a left speaker, and a right speaker. The combination of the left surround audio device; the right surround audio device; the dialog enhancing center channel speaker; the low frequency effects device; the left speaker; and/or the right speaker produce one or more sound effects in a vertical direction.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for validating the authenticity of one or more media associated with a gaming system. The systems and methods may utilize a public key in association with a ROM-based algorithm to validate such media. The systems and methods may: decrypt the encrypted game assets media signature; determine a verified game assets hash signature from the decrypted game assets media signature; determine a game assets verification range from the decrypted game assets media signature; calculate a game assets hash signature based on the game assets verification range; and/or determine if the game assets verified hash signature matches the game assets calculated hash signature.

Abstract: A computer system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) in a first target cloud and a second target cloud. The target clouds operate with different configuration parameters. The system modifies a generic VM disk image that is not formatted for the first or second target cloud to create a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud. The first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the first target cloud configuration parameters, and the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the second target cloud configuration parameters. The system instantiates a VM in the first target cloud using the first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image and a VM in the second target cloud using the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image.

Abstract: A server computing system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine in a cloud. The request is associated with a template that specifies the operating system and software packages to be installed on the virtual machine. The system splits the installation of the virtual machine into creating a minimal operating system installation, customizing the minimal installation, and generating a disk image of the customized minimal installation. The system creates a minimal installation of the specified operating system, executes the minimal operating system in a virtual machine guest, and customizes the minimal installation of the operating system as specified in the template. The system generates a virtual machine disk image of the customized minimal installation that is a cloud generic virtual machine disk image an is configurable to instantiate the virtual machine in clouds provided by different cloud providers.
