Abstract: This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: A sensing device may send a sensing signal in a second time period in a first time period, but does not send a sensing signal in a time period other than the second time period in the first time period. In other words, there is a limitation that a network device sends a signal in a part of a time domain length, so that sending the sensing signal and receiving the sensing signal are separately performed. Therefore, when antenna isolation is limited, the network device can avoid receive and transmit coupling interference caused by simultaneous receiving and sending.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for improving accuracies of determinations made using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensing device when the NRM sensing device collects data in a wellbore. In certain instances, determinations made from NMR measurement data may not correspond to measurements made by other types of sensing equipment. For example, determinations of pore sizes made from evaluating sets of capillary pressure data may not correspond to determinations made from data sensed during an NMR test. Since the accuracy of determinations regarding wellbore petrophysical parameters made from data sensed by sensing equipment can affect the efficiency and profitability of a wellbore operation, and since NMR sensing devices are more deployable in a wellbore than other forms of test equipment, systems and techniques of the present disclosure are directed to improving the accuracy of petrophysical parameters determinations made from data sensed by NMR sensing devices.

Abstract: When performing tile-based graphics processing, a first vertex shading operation to generate vertex shaded position data for vertices is performed, and the vertex shaded position data used to prepare primitive lists indicating which primitives should be rendered for respective rendering tiles. Then, when processing a tile, a second vertex shading operation is performed for vertices of primitives for the tile for which fragments have been generated by a rasteriser prior to rendering the graphics fragments, to generate vertex shaded non-position attribute data for the vertices, based on the results of early depth testing before the fragments are rendered.

Abstract: System and methods of petrophysical modeling are disclosed. Measurements of formation parameters are received from one or more measurement tools during a first stage of a downhole operation within a reservoir formation. A correlation between each of the formation parameters and a target parameter of the formation is determined based on the measurements. One or more formation parameters are selected as input parameters for a symbolic regression model, based on the correlation. A symbolic regression model is trained to generate candidate formation models representing the target parameter, based on the selected input parameters. One or more optimizations are applied to the candidate models to determine a target petrophysical model of the formation. Values of the target parameter are estimated for at least one formation layer, based on the target petrophysical model. A second stage of the downhole operation is performed within the formation layer(s) based on the estimated values.
