  • Publication number: 20170122891
    Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system and method for determining oil and water composition in drilling mud by separating out signals from oil and water in a two dimensional relaxation space wherein the oil and water ratio is a function of the separated out signals. The spin-lattice relaxation time distribution or a spin-spin relaxation time distribution of the sample is measured and a spin-lattice versus spin-spin or a spin-spin versus diffusion two-dimensional procedure is applied to separate the components of the drilling fluid. The signal intensities from the oil and water regions of the one-dimensional or two-dimensional NMR measurements are used to quantify the relative portion of the proton NMR signal from the oil and water and to determine the ratio of oil and water in the drilling mud.

  • Publication number: 20170118166
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for enabling communication between different overlay solutions. The method includes one or more processor obtaining an address resolution request from a first resource in a first domain for a second resource in a second domain. Both domains are in a shared computing environment and the second domain includes a control plane engine. The one or more processor obtains source information from the request, registers the information to the engine, and utilizes the request to query the engine to locate the second resource in the domain. The second resource matches the request. The processor receives a response from the engine identifying a first host and the first host is in the second domain and is the host of the second resource. The processor sends a notification request to the first host requesting that the first host reply to the request.

  • Publication number: 20170039925
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display having an array of display pixels and having display control circuitry that controls the operation of the display. The display control circuitry may adaptively adjust the display output based on ambient lighting conditions. For example, in cooler ambient lighting conditions such as those dominated by daylight, the display may display neutral colors using a relatively cool white. When the display is operated in warmer ambient lighting conditions such as those dominated by indoor light sources, the display may display neutral colors using a relatively warm white. Adapting to the ambient lighting conditions may ensure that the user does not perceive color shifts on the display as the user's vision chromatically adapts to different ambient lighting conditions. Adaptively adjusting images in this way can also have beneficial effects on the human circadian rhythm by displaying warmer colors in the evening.
