20090323470Method for attenuation of multiple reflections in seismic data - A method for attenuating multiple reflections in seismic signals includes coherency filtering the seismic signals. The seismic signals are low pass filtered and high pass filtered seismic signals at a frequency selected such that substantially only multiple reflections exist in the seismic signals above the frequency. A mask is generated having unity value where the high pass filtered signal amplitude exceeds a selected threshold. The mask has unity zero value for all other filtered signals. The mask value is multiplied by the low pass filtered signals. The multiplied signals are added to the high pass filtered signals and a coherency filter is applied to remove remaining primary energy to generate a model of the multiple reflections. The multiple reflection model is subtracted from the coherency filtered seismic signals.12-31-2009

20080209425Device Comprising a Communications Stick With A Scheduler - A scheduler is used to schedule execution of tasks by ‘engines’ that perform high resource functions as requested by ‘executive’ control code, the scheduler using its knowledge of the likelihood of engine request state transitions. The likelihood of engine request state transitions describes the likely sequence of engines which executives will impose: the scheduler can at run-time in effect, as the start of a time slice, look-forward in time to discern a number of possible schedules (i.e. sequence of future engines), assess the merits of each possible schedule using pre-defined parameters (e.g. memory and power utilisation), then apply the schedule which is most appropriate given those parameters. The process repeats at the start of the next time slice. The scheduler therefore operates as a predictive scheduler. The present invention is particularly effective in addressing the ‘multi-mode problem”: dynamically balancing the requirements of multiple communications stacks operating concurrently.08-28-2008
20080288386 Method of Systematic Trend-Following - This invention relates to alternative, synthesisable trend-following strategy, based on a rolling, delta-spliced lookback straddle. This operates like a conventional lookback straddle, except that the time to expiry, rather than monotonically running down to zero, is reset where possible to that of a ‘younger’ straddle, provided that the delta of the two straddles does not differ by more than a specified amount. It is more computationally efficient than prior art approaches; further, it does not lead to positions being prematurely liquidated.11-20-2008

20090119088Method of Designing, Modelling or Fabricating a Communications Baseband Stack - The present invention contemplates applying a form of emulation to the domain of communications baseband stack design, in which baseband stack resource requirements, capabilities and behaviour are modelled and described. and the resultant description input to software comprising a virtual machine layer optimised for a communications DSP in order to generate an emulation of the baseband stack. The virtual machine layer is not custom written for a specific task but is instead pre-fabricated as a general purpose layer designed to de-couple low MIPS control code from having to interface directly with high MIPS baseband processing algorithms.05-07-2009

20090157416Converting documents - A method of converting a document, such as a document complying with the CEN-XFS standard for Forms. The method comprises accessing format parameters; reading information from the document; parsing the read information to detect attributes and text; identifying any detected attributes not consistent with the accessed format parameters; converting any identified attributes not consistent with the accessed format parameters into attributes consistent with the accessed format parameters; and creating a converted document in which all of the attributes conform to the accessed format parameters.06-18-2009

20100293741Waste Collecting Device - An animal waste collecting device comprises a vacuum chamber in communication with an impeller arranged to draw air from the vacuum chamber through the exhaust port to produce a vacuum pressure in the vacuum chamber and a pickup up nozzle in communication with the vacuum chamber to collect waste with air drawn therethrough into the vacuum chamber by the vacuum pressure. A heater is supported in communication with the vacuum chamber to heat waste collected in the vacuum chamber for drying and/or incinerating the waste. A blower permits the dried or incinerated waste to be redirected from the vacuum chamber to a separate discharge chamber for subsequent disposal.11-25-2010

20090095737MAGNETIC ANNEALING TOOL HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM AND PROCESSES - A heat exchange system and processes for a magnetic annealing tool is provided. The system includes a process chamber housing workpieces to be processed; an element chamber partly surrounding the periphery of the process chamber, at least one means for drawing a vacuum in fluid communication with the process chamber and separately with the element chamber in order to apply a vacuum to either or both of the process and element chamber so as to promote radiation heating of the workpieces; at least one supply of fluid in communication with the process chamber and separately with the element chamber to supply a cooling gas so as to promote conductive cooling of the workpieces; a cooling chamber disposed to surround the element chamber; and means for generating a magnetic field disposed on the outer periphery of the cooling chamber.04-16-2009

20110256871Mobility Influenced by Radio Uplink Failure - An intelligent subscriber and method of the subscriber roaming between base stations is presented. An unexpected uplink, such as a request to initiate communication, a SMS communication or request to change talkgroup, is transmitted to a base station. When a predetermined number of such uplinks remain unacknowledged by the base station, the subscriber determines that terminal failure of the base station has occurred. An ordered list of available base stations able to serve the subscriber is maintained in subscriber memory. The ordering is based on service level and within each service level by radio measurements. The list is manipulated such that the service level of the original base station is minimized A new base station is selected using the manipulated ordered list. The service level of the original base station is then restored. A communication is sent to an external host to record information about the terminal failure.10-20-2011
