  • Publication number: 20140220959
    Abstract: An electronic terminal includes at least one input and output unit. The electronic terminal further includes: a communication detection unit configured to detect whether a communication event exists, so as to obtain a first detection result; a condition sensing unit configured to detect whether a prohibition condition for prohibiting an input and output function of the at least one input and output unit is satisfied, so as to obtain a second detection result; a prohibition unit configured to prohibit a part of the input and output function of the at least one input and output unit which is unrelated to the communication event, when the first detection result indicates that the communication event exists and the second detection result indicates that the prohibition condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20140002350
    Abstract: Electronic devices and methods for processing an object in an electronic device are provided. The method includes: when a sensor unit detects that an operator is holding the electronic device, obtaining a first holding position parameter of the operator relative to an input unit; determining a correspondence between the object and the input unit based on the first holding position parameter; and outputting the object by a display unit based on the correspondence. The electronic device includes a processing unit configured to, when a sensor unit detects that an operator is holding the electronic device, obtaining a first holding position parameter of the operator relative to an input unit, determine a correspondence between the object and the input unit based on the first holding position parameter, and output the object via a display unit based on the correspondence.

  • Publication number: 20130338924
    Abstract: A method of processing azimuthal measurement data includes: receiving a plurality of data values generated by a rotating measurement tool, the measurement tool including at least one measurement sensor and configured to rotate and measure a signal at each of a plurality of azimuthal orientations; associating each received data value with an azimuthal orientation; selecting one or more data values that provide sufficient information regarding a measured signal, each of the selected data values having an associated azimuthal orientation; disregarding azimuthal orientations associated with one or more data values that provide insufficient information regarding a measured signal; and fitting only the selected data values to a sinusoidal curve.

  • Publication number: 20130035862
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for estimating a resistivity property of an earth formation involving electric current induced in an earth formation. The method may include reducing an error in a voltage received by a receiver coil due to excitation of a transmitter coil due to temperature effects. The voltage may include amplitude and/or phase errors. The method may modify the measured voltage by multiplying/dividing the voltage by a reduction factor. The reduction factor may be determined using polynomic curve fitting. The apparatus may be configured to perform the method. The apparatus may include at least one transmitter coil, at least one receiver coil, and at least one processes configured to perform the error reduction.

  • Publication number: 20100170139
    Abstract: Mats for holding flies or baits are disclosed which include a holding mat body formed by foamed material and one or more shaped slot(s) separately disposed on the body. The shaped slots pass through the body along the thickness direction and one end of each shaped slot is connected with a cutting slit passing through the body along the thickness direction. The cutting slit is used to hold the hook portion or the vanes of flies or baits. The holding mat can be used to hold various flies and baits quickly and laborsavingly.

  • Publication number: 20060041073
    Abstract: A polymer composition comprises a low-molecular-weight (LMW) ethylene polymer component and a high-molecular-weight (HMW) ethylene polymer component. Preferably, the LMW polyethylene component and the HMW polyethylene component co-crystallize in the composition such that it exhibits a single or substantially single peak in a lamella thickness distribution (“LTD”) curve. The ethylene polymer for the LMW and the HMW polyethylene components can be either homopolyethylene or ethylene copolymer. Preferably, both components are an ethylene copolymer of the same or different composition (i.e., with the same or different comonomers). A method of making a pipe that includes selecting a polymer composition having a substantially single peak in the LTD curve is described.
