Abstract: Simultaneous sources are separated with a deblending method wherein the fullband data deblended on a source-by-source basis. The fullband data is first decomposed into multiple subbands, and then a non-equispaced subband Radon transform is used to transform the decomposed data into the Radon domain. The deblending process is solved subband by subband by minimising a nonlinear objective function. The solution of the nonlinear objective function is found using a multi-step procedure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for processing seismic data to generate images or determine properties of an interior section of the Earth. The seismic data is processed to filter coherent noise such as ground roll noise from seismic survey data. The noise is attenuated using 3D and/or 2D fan filters, which may have combined low-pass and band-pass filters derived from signal decomposition. The filters are designed with selected operator length, velocity bands of signals and noises and frequency range for a primary trace and adjacent traces within the operator length. The data is decomposed with the filters into signals and noises, and the noises are then filtered from the decomposed data. The process may be repeated for various frequencies and traces within the seismic data. The methods may be used for surveys that have either regular or irregular seismic receiver or seismic source positions.

Abstract: A method and a circuit component for suppressing crosstalk associated with the common voltage in a liquid crystal display are disclosed. In particular, in a liquid crystal display where the crosstalk is mainly caused by various control signals generated by a timing control circuit, one or more timing control signals are extracted from the timing control circuit and processed to become a compensation signal.

When the timing control signals are current signals, the steps for processing these signals may include current-to-voltage conversion, summing and inverting.

Abstract: Adaptive filtering method to remove ground roll from seismic data. In an M channel adaptive filter, weights Wi are set using an adaptive algorithm based on seeking the minimum in the partial differential of cost function J. The cost function includes an expansion of the primary trace d into d=dg+?d (where: dg is ground roll contribution and ?d=dsig+dran, where dsig is the reflected signal component and dran is a random noise component) and a corresponding expansion of the reference x into x=xg+?x (where xg is ground roll contribution and ?x=xsig+xran; where xsig is a reflected signal component and xran is a random noise component). The delta components are included in the denominator of cost function J to provide an optimal solution of the filter coefficients biased by the reflection signal and random noise is removed.
