Abstract: A database of property data is searched based on a location constraint that is determined based on travel time contours constructed for multiple locations of interest. The locations of interest and travel parameters associated therewith are selected by a user. The travel parameters include a maximum travel time for each location. For each location, the travel time contour is constructed based on the travel parameters for the location such that points within the travel time contour have a travel time to the location that is less than or equal to the maximum travel time. The travel time contours are intersected, and the location constraint is based on the intersection.

Abstract: A visualization system for providing a preview of data obtained in a borehole and available for selection and a helmet for visualization and monitoring are described. The visualization system includes a processor configured to process the data based on user input and instructions and provide output for display on a display device; a computer-readable medium configured to store the instructions, the instructions including commands to output values of two or more types of parameters at two or more depth values for display; and a helmet including a visor configured to display the values of the two or more types of parameters at the two or more depth values.

Abstract: A visualization system for visualizing data obtained in a borehole includes a processor configured to process the data based on user input and instructions and provide output for display on a display device. The system may also include a computer-readable medium configured to store the instructions, the instructions including commands to output values of two or more types of parameters at two or more depth values. The instructions may include commands to provide a perspective top-down or bottom-up fly-through display of the borehole including a zoomed-in image of values closest to a user. The processor may also output a display of a photographic image at each of the two or more depth values based on a correspondence between the values of the two or more types of parameters and the plurality of parameters associated with the photographic image.

Abstract: A valuation model accounts for traffic features associated with modeled properties, generates listings of model-chosen comparables, and evaluates property appraisals and appraisal-chosen comparables accordingly. In one embodiment, traffic features of homes are used in automated electronic appraising and in the electronic review of appraisals. It first uses GIS techniques to convert traffic features associated with a property into a numeric variable, allowing hedonic price models to measure the price impact of traffic features. This allows traffic features to be used in the automated selection of comparable properties and in the adjusting of comp prices in appraisals. It also allows automated review of appraisals to determine if they fairly accounted for the traffic dimension in the selection of comps and in making any price adjustments.

Abstract: An automated data library system employs a calibration sensor, the fiducial target and a controller in electrical communication with the calibration sensor to create a calibration sensor pixel image of a calibration area surrounding an expected location of the fiducial target within the automated data storage library by executing one or more vertical calibration sensor scans and/or one or more horizontal calibration sensor scans of the calibration area, and monitoring an output of the calibration sensor scans at defined position intervals. The expected location of the fiducial target can be on a data storage drive of the library or a storage shelf of the library. The controller can execute a debugging procedure, a diagnostic test and/or an error recovery procedure based on the calibration sensor pixel image.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed for conducting an inventory of a data storage library. The invention includes providing a plurality of data storage slots for storing data storage cartridges, providing an accessor having a plurality of detectors mounted thereon, and concurrently detecting cartridge information with the plurality of detectors for a corresponding plurality of data storage slots. The detectors may include any combination of detectors, including but not limited to, bar code scanners, radio frequency readers, cartridge presence sensors, or cameras. In certain embodiments, the invention also includes associating the cartridge information with the corresponding data storage slot and storing the information on a data bearing medium.

Abstract: A method for assigning element addresses in an automated data storage library includes determining if a data storage device, such as a tape cartridge, belongs to a particular host's cartridge assignment policy. If so, the data storage device is issued a virtual import/export element address taken from a set of non-common virtual import/export element addresses, if available. If no non-common address is available, then a common virtual import/export element address is assigned to the data storage device. If no addresses, either common or non-common, are available, then the data storage device is queued until an address becomes available.
