A third, “leaky dielectric” embodiment of a sensor includes a single open-cell foam pad which contains both a dielectric liquid and conductive particles. A low frequency such as d.c. to a few hertz is applied to a sensor to determine piezoresistive response of the sensor to forces or pressures and a higher frequency such as 30 KHz is applied to determine piezocapactive response. | 04-03-2014 |

The sensing layer is made from materials that have first and second electrical characteristics—such as capacitance and resistance—that vary in response to physical forces exerted thereon. A controller repetitively measures the multiple electrical characteristics of each sensor in order to produce a near real time pressure distribution map of the forces sensed by the mat. The mat can be used on a patient support surface—such as a bed, cot, stretcher, recliner, operating table, etc.—to monitor and help reduce the likelihood of a patient developing pressure ulcers. | 04-03-2014 |

20090316928 | INCORPORATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE INTO INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS - The quality of sound recorded from a plurality of people speaking at the same time is improved by incorporating prior knowledge into an independent component analysis (ICA) separating algorithm. More particularly, prior knowledge is defined as a probability distribution according to some prior situation (e.g., prior distribution of people in a room). A mixture of sounds (e.g., mixture of voices) from a plurality of sources (e.g., people) captured by one or more recording devices (e.g., microphones) is separated into individual components (e.g., individual voices from respective people) by applying an maximum a posteriori (MAP) ICA algorithm which incorporates prior knowledge of the respective sources (e.g., location of sources) directly into the MAP ICA algorithm thereby allowing recovery of independent underlying sounds associated with individual sources from the mixture. Therefore, incorporating prior knowledge into an ICA algorithm provides sound quality substantially equal to existing ICA systems, but at reduced computational complexity. | 12-24-2009 |

20090212251 | Methods and compositions for extinguishing fires using aqueous gelled fluids - The present invention relates to improved methods of extinguishing fires or retarding fire propagation by forming a crosslinked water gel which is then applied to the fire or area to be protected. By forming a semi-solid crosslinked gel water can be conveyed over large distances while minimizing losses due to misting, thus making fire fighting from great distances possible and improving the efficiency of aerial drops. The crosslinked gel also has a particularly good adhesiveness and cohesiveness, giving it the ability to form one continuous blanket on the ground thereby smothering the fire and preventing re-ignition. The combination of these properties makes the crosslinked gel ideal for applications such as control and extinguishing of forest fires. In addition, the composition may include additional active ingredients such as herbicide, pesticide, fungicide fertilizer, or the like for soil remediation after the fire is extinguished. | 08-27-2009 |

20090091320 | Methods and Apparatus for Monitoring a Property of a Formation Fluid - Methods and apparatus for the characterization of formation fluids are disclosed. A downhole tool disposed in a borehole penetrating a subterranean formation obtains a NMR measurement, effects a change in a characteristic of the formation fluid, and obtains another NMR measurement subsequent to the change. Alternatively, the downhole tool effects a radial gradient of a characteristic of the formation and obtains NMR measurements at two or more selected radial distances from the wellbore wall. A parameter representative of the subterranean formation or the formation fluid is further determined from the NMR measurements. | 04-09-2009 |

20100132450 | METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING PETROLEUM RESERVOIR ANALYSIS - Methods for optimizing petroleum reservoir analysis and sampling using a real-time component wherein heterogeneities in fluid properties exist. The methods help predict the recovery performance of oil such as, for example, heavy oil, which can be adversely impacted by fluid property gradients present in the reservoir. Additionally, the methods help optimize sampling schedules of the reservoir, which can reduce overall expense and increase sampling efficiency. The methods involve the use of analytical techniques for accurately predicting one or more fluid properties that are not in equilibrium in the reservoir. By evaluating the composition of downhole fluid samples taken from the reservoir using sensitive analytical techniques, an accurate base model of the fluid property of interest can be produced. With the base model in hand, real-time data can be obtained and compared to the base model in order to further define the fluid property of interest in the reservoir. | 06-03-2010 |
