  • Patent number: 10511968
    Abstract: The invention discloses a user verification system and its implementing method. When a mobile device connects to a registration module of the user verification device to execute registration procedure, the unregistered identification code of mobile device will be sent to the user verification device. Then, a comparison module will search and verify the unregistered identification code in the user database. If there is no matching identification codes, the registration procedure would be completed, on the contrary, a verification module will send the verification massage to mobile devices that have the same identification code. Someone who responses the verification message would proceed to execute registration and login procedures. Therefore, the invention could prevent users from being annoyed with the complex verification procedure and reduce the cost of sending verification messages.

  • Publication number: 20190010799
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for imaging semi-three-dimensional rock formation along the borehole sidewall, and a database, a calculation module, and a pattern generation module are included and can be configured in an electronic device. The database continuously fetches the acoustic reflection amplitude data from a high resolution acoustic televiewer (HiRAT), which moves vertically along the borehole. The calculation module performs a mathematical and statistical process on the acoustic reflection amplitude data for the pattern generation module to generate the image of semi-three-dimensional structure of rock formation along the borehole sidewall. Thus, the semi-3D rock formation image provided by the present invention is beneficial for the researcher to easily identify the characteristics of rock formation.
