20150331123 | System and Method for Adaptive Classification and Filtering for Imaging Diffused Energy from the Earths Subsurface - A method for imaging the Earth's subsurface includes taking summed recordings of signals acquired by a plurality of seismic sensors disposed above the volume in response to repeated actuations of a seismic energy source. A travel time of seismic energy is determined from a position of the source to a selected image point in the volume and from the image point to each seismic sensor. A time-delayed scanline gather is generated from the travel times using a model of spatial distribution of acoustic properties of formations in the volume. A template image of backscattered energy from the image point is generated based on the model. The flattened scanline gather is singular value decomposed. The template image is projected onto the decomposed time-delayed scanline gather. Components from the projection are used to determine signal and interference. Weights are calculated for beamforming of the determined signal component. The weights and delay times are used to cause the focal point of the beamforming to be at the image point. | 11-19-2015 |

20160050108 | OPTIMIZING A CLOUD-COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A method and associated systems for optimizing a computing platform. A processor joins sets of configurable parameters into groups that each identifies a configuration of the computing environment or of a component or subsystem of the computing environment. The processor generates a set of variations of each group, where each variation identifies a candidate configuration of the component, subsystem, or platform, and where each candidate configuration identifies a distinct set of values of the group of parameters associated with that component, subsystem, or platform. Each configuration of this first generation of configurations undergoes a massively parallel iterative procedure that generates a next generation of configurations by performing operations upon the first generation that are similar to those of a natural-selection process. The procedure repeats until successive generations converge, within resource constraints, to a fittest generation that represents an optimal or most nearly optimal configuration of the computing platform. | 02-18-2016 |

Several shovel-holders for shovelling dirt from the floor are mounted on the rotating body spaced apart from each other in the peripheral direction, are moveable along a path along the floor, and each have an open end in the rotation direction of the rotating body. A sweeper device for sweeping dirt out of one of the shovel-holders is arranged along the path of the shovel-holders on the carrier frame at a position substantially stationary in relation to the carrier frame, and is fitted with a sweeper element which, on rotation of the rotating body, moves between the shovel-holders and sweeps through one of the shovel-holders in order to sweep out dirt therefrom. | 06-06-2013 |
20140124000 | MANURE-REMOVAL DEVICE - A manure-removal vehicle and an assembly thereof having a manure-discharging location. The vehicle comprises a pump and a tank having an air discharge. The vehicle collects manure by means of a scraper and this is subsequently suctioned up via a manure extraction opening in the tank. The pump works at low power and in particular at low pressure, due to the fact that a constant stream of manure is collected in front of the opening, in particular if a sealing plate is provided. | 05-08-2014 |

20150254648 | MANAGED DIGITAL WALLETS - Embodiments of the present invention disclose utilizing a token associated with a payment device to enter into transactions. In some embodiments the token is associated directly with a payment device, while in other embodiments the token may be associated with a digital wallet that is associated with the payment device. Particularly, embodiments of the present invention may create a managed digital wallet for a client. A client may then designate individuals to participate in the wallet as an administrator and/or as a user. The present invention may allow a client to control the purchases of a user of the account using the token through the use of limits. Each of the users associated with the account may be assigned one or more individual tokens to use with the digital wallet to enter into transactions instead of using the actual account information of accounts associated with the digital wallet. | 09-10-2015 |

20140268874 | Edgelit Multi-Panel Lighting System - A lighting system can include a lightguide having an edge and two major surfaces. The lightguide can be mounted in a frame so that one of the major surfaces faces towards an area to be illuminated, while the other major surface faces away from the area. LEDs can couple light into the lightguide edge, with the coupled light emitting from both major surfaces. Light emitted from the major surface that faces away from the area to be illuminated can be reflected back into the lightguide by a reflective surface. The reflective surface can be separated from the lightguide by an air gap. The air gap can promote internal reflection at the major surface facing away from the area to be illuminated, thereby enhancing homogeneity and output of light towards the area to be illuminated. The frame can include integral wireways, reflector retention clips, and grounding circuitry. | 09-18-2014 |
