  • Patent number: 10267934
    Abstract: A method of generating a depositional sequence volume from seismic data is performed at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing programs to be executed by the one or more processors. The method includes the following steps: receiving a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset includes image values at a plurality of grid points of a 3-D subsurface model; identifying reflections at a first subset of the plurality of grid points and geological constraints at a second subset of the plurality of grid points of the 3-D subsurface model from processing the image values of the seismic dataset; and generating a depositional sequence volume for the 3-D subsurface model from the reflections at the first subset of grid points and the geological constraints at the second subset of grid points.

  • Publication number: 20100014124
    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable business card scanner for scanning, storing and displaying an encoded image of a business card. The portable business card scanner includes a casing, a scanner, at least one memory, at least one input device and a display device. The scanner is configured to scan the business card to generate an encoded image thereof. The at least one memory is configured to store the encoded image of the business card. The at least one input device is configured to retrieve the encoded image from the at least one memory and add a labeling data to the encoded image. The display device is configured to display the encoded image of the business card.
