  • Patent number: 7502771
    Abstract: A method of generating a decision tree for a seismic to simulation workflow, including: identifying a plurality of elements of the seismic to simulation workflow; receiving a plurality of modeling scenarios for each of the plurality of elements, where each of the plurality of modeling scenarios is associated with a realization of the seismic to simulation workflow; receiving a plurality of probabilities for the plurality of modeling scenarios; and generating a decision tree comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of branches in response to said plurality of modeling scenarios, where each level of the decision tree is associated with one of the plurality of elements, where the plurality of nodes are associated with the plurality of modeling scenarios, and where the plurality of branches are based on the plurality of probabilities.

  • Patent number: 6128243
    Abstract: A method of operating a memory cell includes detecting a first power supply anomaly or condition. When the first power supply condition occurs, memory cell access to bit lines is disabled, a series of shadow memory access FETs within the memory cells are enabled and data from the memory cells are coupled to memory FETs within the memory cells to store data corresponding to the data from the memory cells in the memory FETs. The memory FETs include nanocrystals of semiconductor material in gate dielectrics of the FETs. Electrons are stored in the nanocrystals of semiconductor material to represent the data stored in the memory cell. When a second power supply condition is detected, the data stored in the memory FETs are written back to the memory cells.
