Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for isolation detection. In one implementation, recorded data is obtained. The recorded data includes radial acoustic waves transmitted and received using a radial sensor of an acoustic logging tool deployed in a wellbore. Clockwise waves are separated from counterclockwise waves by converting the recorded data from a time domain to a frequency domain. The clockwise waves are shifted into shifted clockwise waves, and the counterclockwise waves are shifted into a shifted counterclockwise waves. A forward wave is generated by combining the shifted clockwise waves, and a reflected wave is generated by combining the shifted counterclockwise waves. One or more isolation regions are identified in the wellbore using the forward wave and the reflected wave.

Another embodiment can have a generally rectangular configuration with a lower front step portion that can also be positioned on the edge of a swimming pool so that shade from the umbrella can be provided to person(s) in the pool. The interior of the stands can be hollow, and can be filled with a ballast, such as sand or water.

Abstract: A respiratory system provides bi-level pressure using a dual pressure device in fluid communication with a source of breathable gas and a patient interface. The dual pressure device includes a pipe submerged in a liquid in a container, and a float disposed along the pipe. The float cyclically moves up and down the pipe between a lower position and an upper position as the floats buoyancy changes. The floats position along the pipe causes the gas pressure level to alternate between a baseline pressure level and a peak pressure level by selectively blocking and unblocking an opening in the pipe, and selectively capturing and releasing gas from the float, with the maximum gas pressure being limited by the setting on a pressure relief valve.

Metadata associated with the first image may be generated. The metadata may indicate the spatial relationship between the first object and the second object.

Abstract: Techniques for data manipulation using processor cluster address generation are disclosed. One or more processor clusters capable of executing software-initiated work requests are accessed. A plurality of dimensions from a tensor is flattened into a single dimension. A work request address field is parsed, where the address field contains unique address space descriptors for each of the plurality of dimensions, along with a common address space descriptor. A direct memory access (DMA) engine coupled to the one or more processor clusters is configured. Addresses are generated based on the unique address space descriptors and the common address space descriptor. The plurality of dimensions can be summed to generate a single address. Memory is accessed using two or more of the addresses that were generated. The addresses are used to enable DMA access.
