20090031308 | Method And Apparatus For Executing Multiple Simulations on a Supercomputer - A supercomputer processing system is provided that is configured to execute a plurality of simulations through transaction processing. The supercomputer processing system includes a supercomputer configured to execute a first simulation of the plurality of simulations and generate an output based upon execution of the first simulation, and a transaction hub. The transaction hub includes a relational database configured to store the output of the first simulation, and an application server having a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that supports an event triggering service. The event triggering service is configured to detect the output of the first simulation and automatically trigger the supercomputer to execute a second simulation of the plurality of simulations using the output of the first simulation stored in the relational database. | 01-29-2009 |
20110083843 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING NEAR-SURFACE HEAVY OIL FOR EXTRACTION USING MICROBIAL DEGRADATION - In one embodiment, the invention provides an analytical processing system for enhancing the recovery of heavy oil in an underground, near-surface crude oil extraction environment, comprising: a data collection engine configured for receiving data relating to the underground, near-surface crude oil extraction environment, wherein the data includes in situ microbial species data, oil properties data and in situ nutrient information that are identified as being germane to the underground, near-surface crude oil extraction environment; a data warehouse for storing data collected from the data collection engine; and a data modeling system for analyzing data stored in the data warehouse and facilitating an identity of a preferred microbial species from the underground, near-surface crude oil extraction environment that can transform the heavy oil into a lighter oil. | 04-14-2011 |

20130063256 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ENHANCE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS WITH EMOTIONAL CONTEXT - Methods, systems, and devices are described for augmenting electronic communications with emotional context. Electronic communications is received from a first device. An expression of a user of the first device is captured at the first device. Data based on the captured expression is received from the first device. The received data is analyzed to determine emotional context associated with the user of the first device. A haptic response is generated based on the determined emotional context. The haptic response is associated with the received electronic communications. The haptic response is provided concurrently with the access of the electronic communications to indicate the emotional context of the user. | 03-14-2013 |
20140118829 | SEE THROUGH NEAR-EYE DISPLAY - The various embodiments include a near-eye display having a transmissive display and a diffractive micro-lens array. The transmissive display may be positioned relative to the diffractive micro-lens array so that the distance between the transmissive display and the diffractive micro-lens array is be approximately equal to focal length of the diffractive micro-lens array. The transmissive display may also be positioned relative to the diffractive micro-lens array so that a percentage of light emitted from the transmissive display is diffracted by the micro-lens array and collimated into focus on a retina of a human eye. The transmissive display may be further positioned relative to the diffractive micro-lens array so that light from a real world scene passes through transparent portions of the transmissive display and is diffracted by the micro-lens array out of focus of the human eye. | 05-01-2014 |
20140198128 | DYNAMIC ZONE PLATE AUGMENTED VISION EYEGLASSES - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for modulating optics in a display are provided. An apparatus forms a plurality of zone plates in a liquid crystal using electric fields. Each zone plate has a center, and the centers are aligned along a first axis of the display. The apparatus moves the plurality of zone plates in a first direction along a second axis of the display different from the first axis of the display, while maintaining alignment of the centers of the plurality of zone plates along the first axis. Such movement is provided through repositioning of electric fields through the liquid crystal. | 07-17-2014 |
20140198129 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE - An apparatus, a method, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus detects an eye gaze on a first region in a real world scene, sets a boundary that surrounds the first region, the boundary excluding at least a second region in the real world scene, performs an object recognition procedure on the first region within the boundary, and refrains from performing an object recognition procedure on the at least the second region. | 07-17-2014 |
