  • Patent number: 9268047
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing a seismic trace of a subterranean region comprising: (a) deriving a seismic wavelet for a time-window of seismic trace; (b) generating a model for the subterranean region corresponding to that time-window comprising a plurality of seismic reflectors by comparing the seismic wavelet with the time-window of the seismic trace to identify locations for the seismic reflectors, wherein the locations of the seismic reflectors are subject to a separation constraint requiring neighboring seismic reflectors to be separated by at least a minimum separation threshold which is greater than a separation corresponding to a sampling interval for the seismic trace; (c) defining a model seismic wavelet having a model seismic wavelet amplitude spectrum with a frequency bandwidth which is greater than that of the seismic wavelet amplitude spectrum determined for the time-window of the seismic trace; and (d) generating a model of the time-window of the seismic trace for the subterranea

  • Publication number: 20060110494
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with lipid-encapsulated or lipid-coated functional bakery ingredients. More particularly, the invention relates to a granule suitable for use in the preparation of a dough, comprising: a) a hydrophilic core with a diameter of at least 5 ?m, said core containing a functional bakery ingredient selected from the group of enzymes, oxidoreductants, acidulants, hydrocolloids, starches, yeast, sugars, water, flavours and combinations thereof; and b) a lipophilic substantially continuous layer encapsulating the core, which layer contains at least 50 wt. % triglyceride fat with a slip melting point of at least 30° C. and at least 1 wt. % of a release agent selected from the group of monoglycerides, diglycerides, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono and/or diglyceride, stearyl-lactylates and combinations thereof.
