| 20090197531 | Method and system for patching a communication line using magneto-inductive signals - A system and method for patching a break in a communication line using magneto-inductive signals. The magneto-inductive signals are modulated data signals having a carrier frequency below 10 kHz. Multiple magneto-inductive communication units are placed in spaced relation on a communication line. A break in the communication line is detected between two of the units and the units establish a magneto-inductive link to relay communication signals from the communication line, thereby patching the break. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20080227390 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RELAYING SIGNALS FROM A MAGNETO-INDUCTIVE SYSTEM THROUGH A VOICE-BAND SYSTEM - A system and method for relaying signals from a magneto-inductive system, which are normally used to communicate between magneto-inductive units using quasi-static magnetic fields, over a voice-band communication system. The magneto-inductive signals are modulated data signals having a carrier frequency typically between 300 Hz and 3 kHz. The voice-band communication system facilitates long distance communication of voice-band signals. By supplying the signals from one magneto-inductive unit to the voice-band communication system through an analog input port, the signals are transmitted through the voice-band communication system. They are output from the system through an analog audio output port to the other magneto-inductive unit. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20110075520 | SEISMIC SOURCE WHICH INCORPORATES EARTH COUPLING AS PART OF THE TRANSMITTER RESONANCE - An acoustic energy source for imparting acoustic energy into the Earth's subsurface includes an electrically driven transducer coupled to a source of swept frequency alternating current. A tunable Helmholtz resonator is disposed proximate the transducer. In one example, the resonator has a tuning device configured to maintain a resonant frequency substantially equal to an instantaneous frequency of the alternating current. The tuning device includes an actuator coupled to a sleeve, wherein the sleeve is disposed over selected numbers of openings in a wall of a tube on the resonator. The transducer and the resonator are disposed in a wellbore drilled through rock formations. The wellbore has a plurality of layers of fluid therein, each layer thereof having a different density and/or viscosity. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110188343 | Random Transmitter Placement Method For Stationary Seismic Imaging - A method for at least one of imparting seismic energy into formations below the bottom of a body of water and detecting seismic energy therefrom includes releasing a plurality of acoustic transducers into the water. The transducers move to the bottom by gravity. A geodetic position of each of the transducers on the water bottom is determined. At least one of the following is performed: actuating each of the transducers as a transmitter at least once, the actuating of each transducer occurring at a time selected to cause seismic energy to be imparted into the formations in a beam along a selected direction, the selected time related to relative positions of the transducers; and recording signals detected by each of the transducers, the recording including adding a selected time delay to cause response of the transducers to be amplified along a selected direction. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20100153880 | METHOD SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR ENTERING TEXT ON A COMPUTING DEVICE - A system, method and apparatus for entering information. A display is generated which includes one or more parts of the information. Selection of the one or more parts of the information may be made and results in the generation of a display of further one or more parts for selection. The further one or more parts may be selected in order to add to the selected one or more parts to build a larger part or whole of words, sentences, messages, text, symbols and/or graphics. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100153881 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING AN ITEM FROM A DATABASE - A method and apparatus for selecting items from a collection of items are indexed by a list of item identifiers. The item identifiers may be in the form of text, symbols, graphics, etc. An initial display is generated which includes on or more parts of the item identifiers. Selection of the one or more parts may be made and results in the generation of a display of further one or more parts for selection. The further one or more parts may be selected in order to the selected on or more parts to build a larger part or whole of an item identifier. Accordingly, selection from a large list of item identifiers may be carried out in a relatively short time period. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20100010963 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING AN ITEM FROM A DATABASE - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for selecting database items from a database, where the database items are indexed by a list of item identifiers. The item identifiers may be in the form of text. An initial display is generated which includes one or more parts of the item identifiers. Selection of the one or more parts may be made and results in the generation of a display of a further one or more parts for selection. The further one or more parts may be selected in order to add to the selected one or more parts to build a larger part or whole of an item identifier. Selection from a large list of item identifiers may be carried out in a relatively short time period. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20100070945 | CUSTOM AND CUSTOMIZABLE COMPONENTS, SUCH AS FOR WORKFLOW APPLICATIONS - A software facility allows custom components to be created and used in an end user application, such as a workflow application that defines business processes or a graphical design application. The facility provides a custom component definition that includes an indication of criteria for custom components for use in the end user application. A designer of the custom component provides the software facility with an indication of functionality for the custom component, wherein the indication satisfies the criteria for custom components included in the provided definition. The custom component is registered with the end-user application. This registration enables the end user application to access the custom component from within the end user application without the use of programming scripts to call the customized component from outside of the end user application. | 03-18-2010 |
