20110308477 | Dog Tug Apparatus and Method of Use - A dog tug apparatus includes a housing having a dispensing portion and a tug device configured to extend from and retract back into the housing. The tug device includes a tug having teeth scrubbing bristles extending there from. A resistance assembly resists unwinding of the tug line, and includes first and second opposing electromagnets suspended about the periphery of a slotted metal disk. A controller can adjust the resistance applied by the resistance assembly and provide an audible signal at the end of an exercise event. A recovery mechanism provides a means for rewinding the tug line about the spool after the tug line has been unwound, such as during a dog exercise event. In use, the rotation of the spool in the direction to unwind the tug line rotates a reduction gear system and results in the rotation of a treat dispensing mechanism to dispense a dog treat. | 12-22-2011 |

20080232196 | METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR WAVELET STRETCH IN SEISMIC DATA - A computer-implemented method of accounting for angle-dependent wavelet stretch in seismic data based on a novel relationship between wavelet stretch and the cosine of a reflection angle of an acoustic ray. Conventional seismic data having at least one wavelet, such as data generated from a reflection seismic survey, is accessed. The data is processed such that at least one wavelet is subject to angle-dependent wavelet stretch. A reflection angle for at least one wavelet is also determined. An operator is utilized to calculate a wavelet stretch factor for at least one wavelet based on the cosine of the corresponding reflection angle of the wavelet. The wavelet stretch factor is applied to the seismic data to account for angle-dependent wavelet stretch. | 09-25-2008 |
