20100176288 | METHOD AND APPARATUS USEFUL FOR IMAGING - The present invention provides a method of generating ions from a sample, the method comprising the steps of (1) designating a plurality of sample target sites, and (2) for each of said plurality of sample target sites, generating ions from a plurality of locations associated with the sample target site, wherein said plurality of locations are selected automatically with reference to the said sample target site. Each of the plurality of sample target sites is associated with a discrete sample region, wherein the sample is part of a MALDI ion source and the plurality of discrete sample regions comprise regions of matrix, suitably formed by chemical inkjet printing. The plurality of locations can be at least 5 and preferably at least 10 locations, each of which can be selected randomly or in accordance with a predetermined pattern. Ions generated from the plurality of locations associated with each of the sample target sites are assigned only a single set of sample position coordinates, which coordinates correspond to those of the sample target site. This averaging technique leads to improved data reliability. | 07-15-2010 |

20090135669 | Diagonal gather trace interpolation - Diagonal gather trace interpolation systems and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes obtaining seismic traces from a marine seismic survey performed using typically two seismic sources fired in a flip-flop pattern. The seismic traces are processed in common field file trace groups from each cable by performing trace interpolation in opposing diagonal directions. Among other things, diagonal trace interpolation may improve azimuthal regularization. In any event, the disclosed interpolation methods maintain spatial bandwidth increased spatial resolution with increased inline and crossline sampling components. Diagonal gather trace interpolation exploits reduced input trace separation to provide improved stability and detection of a greater range of formation dip angles. After interpolation and regularization, the seismic traces may be imaged and interpreted for improved seismic exploration and monitoring. | 05-28-2009 |
