  • Publication number: 20210081025
    Abstract: A computer system and a power management method thereof are provided. The computer system includes a storage apparatus and a processor. The processor is coupled to the storage apparatus. The processor obtains a state transition time of the storage apparatus. The state transition time is the time the storage apparatus takes to enter a power state and leave the power state. The processor changes a transition tolerance time according to the state transition time. In response to an idle timeout, the processor determines whether the storage apparatus enters the power state according to a comparison result between the transition tolerance time and the state transition time. Accordingly, power consumption and performance are improved.

  • Patent number: 10921942
    Abstract: A touch system has a touch device and an input device. The touch system executes a first mode and a second mode at different times. In the first mode, the touch device transmits a modulation signal to drive the touch electrodes and to be used as an uplink signal. The input device receives the modulation signal. In the second mode, the touch device receives the downlink signal from the input device. Thus, the touch device does not have to transmit the driving signal and the uplink signal at different times. Then the time is saved for the rest work periods so that every work periods get longer length of time.

  • Patent number: 10605951
    Abstract: Techniques involve inverting a dielectric dispersion model based on the geometrical and electrochemical effects that affect dielectric dispersion in fluid-saturated rocks and other porous formation with formation data and measurements to obtain further formation characteristics. A workflow involves using multi-frequency dielectric measurements of the dielectric constant and the conductivity of the formation for reservoir evaluation. The workflow also involves determining formation data such as matrix permittivity, formation temperature, pressure, and porosity, etc., and inverting the formation data and the multi-frequency dielectric measurements with the dielectric dispersion model to determine formation characteristics such as volumetric fraction of water in the formation, the formation water salinity and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), etc. From the CEC log, in combination with other measurements, clay typing may be performed and swelling clays may be identified.

  • Patent number: 10451763
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for investigating a rock sample, in which wideband electromagnetic response data are obtained and processed by inversion in order to determine values for a plurality of parameters of the rock sample. The wideband electromagnetic response data is derived from electromagnetic measurements of the rock sample at frequencies that fall within a wideband of frequencies, wherein the wideband of frequencies includes a low frequency sub-band that is sensitive to conductivity of the rock sample and a high frequency sub-band that is sensitive to the permittivity of the rock sample. In one embodiment, the inversion can employ a wideband model that accounts for two different polarization mechanisms. The wideband model can be used to describe predicted electromagnetic response of the rock sample at frequencies that fall within the wideband of frequencies.
