Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices (NPSDs) are disclosed to compensate for the predicted color changes experienced by camera modules after certain amounts of time of real world use. Such color changes may be caused by prolonged exposure of optical components of the camera module to one or more of: solar radiation, high temperature conditions, or high humidity conditions, each of which may, over time, induce deviation in the color response of optical components of the camera module. The techniques disclosed herein may first characterize such predicted optical change to components over time based on particular environmental conditions, and then implement one or more time-varying color models to compensate for predicted changes to the camera module's color calibration values due to the characterized optical change. In some embodiments, optical changes in other types of components, e.g., display devices, caused by prolonged environmental stresses may also be modeled and compensated.

Abstract: Methods of managing aggregate inventory. The methods include utilizing a dynamic protocol for an oilfield operation with aggregate from chambers of a multi-silo system wherein each chamber accommodates a single aggregate type throughout operations. However, the chambers also have a dynamic classification as either active, idle or reserved depending on the stage of operations.

Abstract: Color values are measured for a set of color targets printed by a reference printing device on a medium of a reference media type. A different printing device prints a subset of the set of color targets on another medium of this reference media type. The color values of the subset of color targets printed by the different printing device are measured, and the different device calibrated based on the measured color values for both the set that the reference printing device printed and the subset that the different device printed. The different printing device can then also be calibrated for a different media type, based on a transformation of the set of color targets printed by the reference printing device on a medium of the different media type relative to the set of color targets printed by the reference device on the medium of the reference media type.
