Patent number: 11803292Abstract: An embodiment facilitates user control of user interface layouts. A layout diagram visually and diagrammatically represents a current layout. The layout diagram includes layout diagram regions which correspond to user interface component regions in the current layout; the user interface component regions have user interface components as occupants. The embodiment gets a choice identifying a traveler component and a destination region, with the traveler component being an occupant of a source region. The embodiment modifies the current layout of the user interface to produce a modified layout in response to the choice, and updates the layout diagram to match the modified layout. Interaction is improved by diagrammatically showing the user the results of possible layout changes before performing any of them.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: James Iain Jonathan Holmes, Hylke Bons

Patent number: 10929381Abstract: Aspects described herein are concerned with automatically validating spatial features of a spatial dataset. One solution is built upon a database server which performs a decomposition of the features' geometries into line segments, after which, sets of line segments are compared to detect errors in the dataset. The decomposition of features geometries into line segments results in a reduction of processing time with a simultaneous increase of precision. The method not only generates new intermediate database structures for detection of topological errors but is also complemented by a clearance process that can lead to the automatic repair of topological errors. The clearance process identifies topological errors and provides modifications to the previously identified line segments such that a modified set of line segments overcomes the conditions that led to the error state. The changes to the data set can be applied automatically after displaying them as an overlay for a predefined amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Ordnance Survey LimitedInventors: Mark Richardson, Jonathan Holmes, Michael Dunn

Patent number: 8401832Abstract: A method includes initiating a first reservoir simulation on a first simulator for a first set of physical parameters of a first reservoir. The first reservoir simulator uses a first set of components for a compositional reservoir model. A second reservoir simulation is initiated on a second simulator. A network simulation is initiated on a network simulator to model a network for coupling the first reservoir and the second reservoir to a surface facility. The network simulator uses a second set of components for a compositional network model. The method further includes translating each of a first hydrocarbon fluid stream of the first reservoir simulator and a second hydrocarbon fluid stream of the second reservoir simulator to a common fluid model. Further, network balancing is initiated among the simulators at a corresponding point in each controller time step.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2002Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Kassem Ghorayeb, Jonathan Holmes, Richard Torrens, Balraj Grewal

Publication number: 20070112547Abstract: Integrated surface-subsurface modeling has been shown to have a critical impact on field development and optimization. Integrated models are often necessary to analyze properly the pressure interaction between a reservoir and a constrained surface facility network, or to predict the behavior of several fields, which may have different fluid compositions, sharing a common surface facility. The latter is gaining a tremendous significance in recent deepwater field development. These applications require an integrated solution with the following capabilities: * to balance a surface network model with a reservoir simulation model in a robust and efficient manner. * To couple multiple reservoir models, production and injection networks, synchronising their advancement through time. * To allow the reservoir and surface network models to use their own independent fluid descriptions (black oil or compositional descriptions with differing sets of pseudo-components).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2002Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: Kassem Ghorayeb, Jonathan Holmes, Richard Torrens, Balraj Grewal
