Patent number: 11216980Abstract: Method and device configured for color similarity evaluation between a first and a second color, comprising the steps of: calculating one or more filters from said first and second colors; determining that the first and second colors are dissimilar if at least one of the calculated filters is above a threshold predetermined for each filter; otherwise, calculating the CIEDE2000 color-difference and determining that the first and second colors are dissimilar if the calculated CIEDE2000 color-difference is above a predetermined threshold; otherwise, determining that they are similar. A module filter may calculate the module of the difference vector between the first and second colors represented as 3D coordinates in the RGB color space, the angle between the two vectors of the first and second colors represented as 3D coordinates in the RGB color space, or the lightness difference between the first and second colors in the CIELAB color space.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: INESC TEC—INSTITUTO DE ENGENHARIA DE SISTEMAS E COMPUTADORES, TECNOLOGIA E CIÊNCIAInventors: Américo José Rodrigues Pereira, Pedro Miguel Machado Soares Carvalho, Luís António Pereira Meneses Corte Real

Publication number: 20190136681Abstract: A system may include a monitoring device that may receive data associated with one or more properties of a well. The well may produce a flow of hydrocarbons. The monitoring device may receive data associated with the well and determine whether the flow of hydrocarbons includes a percentage of water greater than a threshold based on whether the data is outside a profile associated with the flow of hydrocarbons at the well over time. The monitoring device may then send an alarm notification to another device indicating an increased water cut in the flow of hydrocarbon.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2019Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Srikanth G.

Publication number: 20140370894Abstract: Certain embodiment relate to public land mobile network resolution in a shared and a dedicated network. The method may include receiving, at the serving base station, a handover restriction list (HRL) comprising information on serving public land mobile networks (PLMN) or equivalent public land mobile networks (EPLMN) of the user equipment. The method may also include receiving a PLMN list comprising a plurality of PLMNs that are hosted by the target base station. The method may further include selecting a target PLMN for the user equipment using the HRL and the PLMN list, wherein the selected target PLMN is on the PLMN list but is not on the HRL. The method may also include sending a handover request message indicating the selected target PLMN for the user equipment to the target base station.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Applicant: NOKIA SIEMENS NETWORKS OYInventors: Santhosh Kumar HOSDURG, Krishnan IYER, Miguel Machado COSTA
