20100121580 | METHOD OF ESTIMATING PHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF A GEOLOGICAL FORMATION - A well passing through a geological formation is fitted with a tube, open at its bottom end, that is filled with a fluid. Another fluid is in the annular space between the tube and the wall of the well, the two fluids exhibiting an interface situated in the annular space. A hydraulic balance of the fluids of the well is disturbed and the trend of certain quantities is measured. These measurements are moreover simulated by computer by using different sets of values for the physical parameters, and efforts are made to estimate the geological formation. A comparison of the measurements with the simulation results makes it possible to identify an optimum set of values for the parameters. | 05-13-2010 |

20110270722 | CHARGING METHOD SELECTION FOR SERVICE DATA FLOWS BASED ON THE DATA SERVICES BEING REQUESTED - Systems and methods are disclosed for performing Policy and Charging Control (PCC) for packet core networks. One embodiment comprises a PCC architecture that includes an online charging system (OCS). The OCS receives a request for charging rules for an initial data service from a PCRF. The request from the PCRF includes a service indicator for the initial data service. The OCS selects a charging method for the initial data service based on the service indicator, and transmits a response to the PCRF that includes the selected charging method. The PCRF may then make a PCC decision based on the charging method selected by the OCS, and a PCEF may enforce PCC rules for the initial data service. If there is a service changing during a data session, the OCS selects a charging method for the new data service, and the PCRF updates the PCC rules accordingly. | 11-03-2011 |

20130050488 | POLYCHROMATIC IMAGING METHOD - The invention relates to a polychromatic imaging method, using a picture-taking instrument, which is placed on board an aircraft or satellite, which enables a reduction of the size of the instrument without reducing resolution of a final obtained image. To this end, a pupil of the instrument is sized for intermediate images that are limited to a first spectral sub-band without any image information being completely transmitted by the instrument for at least one wavelength that is located beyond said first spectral sub-band. Merging the intermediate image, inputted for the first spectral sub-band, with at least one other intermediate image, inputted for another spectral sub-band, recreates a polychromatic visual rendering that is satisfactory for the final image. Said other intermediate image includes the wavelength located beyond the first sub-band. | 02-28-2013 |

20110268940 | Ecological felt pad for furniture legs - A felt pad to use under legs of furniture to protect the floor from scratches due to displacement of the furniture. The felt pad comprises two layers joined by an intermediate layer. A first thin layer in contact with the floor comprises virgin fibers, a second thick layer in contact with the bottom of the leg of a piece of furniture comprises recycled material fibers. Both layers are joined together by means of a fusion which forms a thin intermediate layer formed by the fusion of virgin fibers with recycled material fibers, thereby making both layers inseparable one from the other. The use of recycled fibers in bigger quantity than the virgin fibers allows giving a second life to fibers having already served a first time. | 11-03-2011 |
