Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system provides data stream transform. The system comprises: an input configured to receive a data stream, the data stream comprising a serialized data structure comprising segments and segment identifiers; a parser configured to identify a segment identifier associated with the data stream and further configured to generate a set of operators based on the data stream, wherein each operator is programmed to perform a predetermined action on the data stream; and a display interface configured to present the set of operators as a set of visual icons responsive to a user's input within the display interface and further configured to present a plurality of distinct node types.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer implemented method and system comprises: receiving, via an electronic input, a transaction having a serialized structure; identifying, using a computer processor, a transaction type for the transaction; identifying, using the computer processor, a schema for the transaction type; retrieving, from a memory, a schema correlated transform process wherein the schema correlated transform process transforms the serialized structure to a hierarchical structure; and parsing, using the computer processor, the transaction into a hierarchical format based on the schema.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system provides a graph that identifies data mapping rules for a data transformation type and comprises: a display interface configured to present a plurality of distinct node types, each with a distinct location and is displayed at corresponding a first display location, a second display location and a third display location on the display surface, a first distinct node type is a pure data type with one or more value output ports; a second distinct node type is a data mapping type with one or more value input ports and at least one output port; and a third distinct node type is a sequence instruction type with one or more stream input ports and at least one output data transform port; a computer processor that generates a rules configuration representing a graph construct; and a memory that stores the rules configuration.

Abstract: A magnetic shielding member is provided, according to one aspect of the invention, which can be used to effectively shield a borehole core from ambient magnetic fields during drilling of a core specimen from the borehole core. The shielding member comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is hollow and has a first opening in a wall thereof, and wherein the second portion is hollow and includes a sidewall which extends outwardly from the exterior surface of the first portion so as to surround the first opening. The second portion sidewall extends to an open end which defines a second opening. Each portion is constructed of a high permeability ferromagnetic material having permeability characteristics herein defined. In use, a borehole core is positioned in the chamber defined within the first portion, and a drill bit is inserted through the first and second openings so as to extend into the chamber and come into cutting contact with the borehole core.

Abstract: In the drilling of deep holes in the earth for exploration for minerals and petroleum, borehole cores are often obtained for examination by geologists. The drill string of the drilling rig used in the drilling operation will usually impart a strong remanent magnetism to the borehole core. The remanent magnetism is oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drill string. A method is provided whereby the borehole core or a portion thereof may be correctly oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis of the drill string by sequentially demagnetizing the core, recording magnetization intensity, and plotting the magnetization intensity and direction to show the direction of the remanent magnetism being removed. The direction of the remanent magnetism provides a basis for correctly orienting the borehole core.
