Abstract: A system including a sonic source deployed in a first borehole and a fiber optic distributed sensor deployed in a second borehole, both boreholes extending from an earth surface into a formation. The optical fiber is configured to react along its length to incident sonic waves generated by the sonic source and propagating through the first borehole, through the formation, and through the second borehole. The system further includes an optical source to launch optical pulses into the fiber optic distributed sensor while the sonic waves are incident on the fiber optic distributed sensor. The system also includes a data acquisition system coupled to the fiber optic distributed sensor to detect temporal variations in coherent Rayleigh noise (CRN) generated in the fiber optic distributed sensor in response to the optical pulses and the incident sonic waves; and a computer system configured to receive data from the data acquisition system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine rotor, of a low-pressure turbine of a turbine engine for example, including a first disk, an annular seal ring including a radial flange on which is formed a scalloping defined by a plurality of scallops offering a locally increased surface, circularly distributed, said radial flange being attached to the rotor between the first disk and the second disk and a flow circuit including at least one lunule, suitable to place into fluid communication a radially inner cavity and a radially outer cavity, the lunule being formed on the radial flange of the seal ring said lunule being provided on at least one scallop.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems, including computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems, for modeling angle domain common image gathers (ADCIG) from reverse time migration (RTM). One computer-implemented method includes calculating seismic source and receiver wavefields based on seismic data, calculating characteristic source and receiver wavefields from the seismic source and receiver wavefields, calculating propagation angles for the characteristic source and receiver wavefields, applying a wavefield decomposition algorithm on the characteristic source and receiver wavefields to obtain corresponding directional source and receiver wavefields, the wavefield decomposition algorithm decomposing wavefield amplitude of a wavefield in an angle interval centered on a propagation angle of the wavefield, and forming ADCIG by applying an image condition to the obtained directional source and receiver wavefields.

Abstract: Storage domains respectively have associated configurable storage management properties that are separate from individual physical capabilities of physical storage resources available through a SAN. Logical volumes are created and allocated to hosts in the context of the storage domains. The presentation of such logical volumes to hosts accommodates storage resource access by hosts without requiring the hosts to be configured according to the requirements of the physical storage resources. Furthermore, allocation of logical volumes to hosts in the context of the storage domains entails provision of storage resources according to the respective storage management properties of the storage domains even though the logical volumes are created from physical storage resources in common.

Abstract: A Storage Domain architecture in which a pool of storage devices is controlled by one or a plurality of Storage Domain Servers (SDS) and create a single, compatible, enterprise wide, storage resource pool that appears to the system as a gigantic shared disk drive. These storage devices may be connected to the Storage Domain Server directly via SCSI enclosures attached to the server, across a private Fiber Channel (FC) network, and/or across a public SAN fabric via switches and hubs. The Storage Domain Server logically maps physical storage data on individual storage devices to logical storage data and presents to each host the storage resources allocated to that host by the storage administrator within the Storage Domain. Data stored in the system is available to all authorized hosts and protected against unauthorized access. Storage Domain Servers control all storage devices directly attached to them or scattered in the FC network, and present a consolidated view of that available storage to hosts.
