Abstract: A method for hydrocarbon production from a carbonate formation includes receiving a carbonate texture description of a drill cutting. A pre-defined grain fraction is assigned to the drill cutting based on the texture description. The pre-defined grain fraction is one of a set of pre-defined grain fractions and each pre-defined grain fraction of the set of pre-defined grain fractions corresponds to a respective one the set of carbonate texture descriptions. Based on the pre-defined grain fraction assigned to the drill cutting and a depth of the wellbore from which the drill cutting is taken, an estimated porosity of the drill cutting is determined using an algebraic equation, coefficients for which are determined by regression analysis using reference rock samples that have been assigned pre-defined grain fractions from the same set of pre-defined grain fractions.

Abstract: The present system employs optical coherence tomography (OCT) or optical coherence microscopy (OCM) systems, including ultra-high resolution Gabor-domain optical coherence microscopy (GD-OCM), into a 3D flow imaging technique. This technique models the repeated scans as Gaussian latent variables, with the common variance representing both static tissue structure and dynamic blood flow, and the anisotropic unique variance representing tissue motion in specific frames. Since the motion generated variance is independent from that of the structure or the flow, by iteratively maximizing the combined log-likelihood probability of these two variances modeled through exploratory factor analysis, the unique variance (or the tissue motion) may be largely excluded. In the common variance, the dynamic blood flow may be separated from the static tissue structure, by integrating the factors that represent the relatively low levels of correlation.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods to reduce image flickering of a webcam of an information handling system. The webcam includes a photochromic lens that changes translucency based on UV radiation that is received. Image flickering can be caused when high UV radiation from a strong light source is observed. In passive method, the photochromic lens darkens as high UV radiation is received, and light received by the sensor of the webcam is reduced, which leads to lower shutter speed that reduces image flicker. In active methods, the image signal processor or an application is used to detect image flicker. UV emitters included in the webcam provide the UV radiation to cause the photochromic lens to darken.
