  • Patent number: 11269102
    Abstract: A method for processing seismic data includes receiving, by a seismic data processing system, signals representing seismic data recorded at a remote location. In addition, the method includes receiving, by the seismic data processing system, identification of a sensor via which the signals were acquired. Further, the method includes retrieving, by the seismic data processing system, a sensor transfer function that corresponds to the sensor and relates the motion of the sensor to the signals. The method also includes generating, by the seismic data processing system, based on the sensor transfer function and a reference transfer function, an inverse filter that when applied to the signals changes parameters of the signals to correspond to the reference transfer function. Moreover, the method includes applying, by the seismic data processing system, the inverse filter to the signals to conform the parameters of the signals to the reference transfer function.

  • Patent number: 9131143
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of dynamic region of interest adaptation and image capture device providing same. In one embodiment, there is a method of operating an image capture device. One or more regions within a real-time image may be used to set one or more user-defined regions of interest (ROIs) within the real-time image for applying one or more first image acquisition parameters. The one or more user-defined ROIs are cancelled and one or more default ROIs within the real-time image for applying one or more second image acquisition parameters are set when a position of the image capture device has changed by an amount which exceeds a threshold amount. Digital image data is acquired by the digital image sensor in accordance with one of the one or more user-defined ROIs and the one or more default ROIs.

  • Patent number: 9050609
    Abstract: A centrifuge apparatus is provided that operates at certain predetermined parameters depending upon a product to be separated and is useable with a plurality of rotor assemblies. For example, a first rotor assembly of said plurality of rotor assemblies includes a first core having a first core configuration which is contained within a rotor housing of the first rotor assembly to define a first volume capacity such that the product passing through the first rotor assembly having the first volume capacity during rotation of the first rotor assembly in the centrifuge apparatus achieves a first particle separation of the product.

  • Patent number: 8819144
    Abstract: In one aspect, a computing device such as a wireless mobile communication device may receive a first type of message (e.g. an e-mail message) over a first message handling service. The device may further receive an indication, e.g. from a user interacting with the device, that the message should be forwarded to a specified recipient as a second type of message (e.g. an SMS message) over a second, different message handling service. The device may display multiple selectable destination addresses (e.g. telephone numbers) for the second type of message, each being associated with the specified recipient. If one of the destination addresses is associated with a device (e.g. a mobile telephone) that is more suitable for receiving the second type of message than any device associated with the other destination addresses, a default destination address for the second type of message may be automatically set to be that destination address.

  • Patent number: 8745140
    Abstract: A message received, over a first message handling service, on a mobile wireless communication device may be forwarded using a second message handling service. When a user wishes to forward a received message object associated with a first message handling service, the user may be provided, by a new verb object, with the option to forward the received message object as a new message object associated with a second message handling service. In the event that the user exercises the option, the new verb object selects a previously existing verb object for generating the new message object. The new verb object then passes the received message object to the previously existing verb object.

  • Patent number: 8493495
    Abstract: The technology includes processor-implemented methods, computer program products, and electronic devices for media module control. Media module zoom specifications are requested. Media module zoom specifications comprising zoom range are received. The received zoom range is divided into n discrete steps. A zoom bar is presented comprises an indicator of increasing zoom direction, an indicator of decreasing zoom direction, and a slider bar is presented. The slider bar is disposed substantially between the indicators. The slider bar displays zoom level as one of the n discrete steps from a first step equal to no zoom level, and an nth step equal to full zoom level. User input regarding a zoom level is received. Zoom is performed on the displayed image. The relative zoom level is displayed in the zoom bar.

  • Patent number: 5124519
    Abstract: A microwave susceptor composite which includes a first layer of polymeric fibrous material, and a second layer of thermoplastic polymer material having microwave susceptive characteristics. The polymeric susceptor and polymeric fibrous material layers are arranged in lamina surface-to-surface contact and bonded into an integral structure by application of heat and pressure. A uniform composite material is obtained by carding the polymeric fibrous materials prior to bonding the first and second layers. In microwave cooking applications the fibrous layer of the composite absorbs excess effluents from the food product. Browning and crisping of food products is effected by microwave excitation of the metallized second layer of the composite.
