| 20090172886 | MATERNITY PILLOW - Technology is described herein for providing implementations of a maternity pillow that hugs the contours of a pregnant woman's midsection, providing support to her belly while she is lying on her side and preventing the weight of her belly from pulling on her back. The maternity pillows of the claimed invention are designed so as to negate the need for adjustment every time the woman moves, rolls over, gets up or lies down. Additionally, the maternity pillows of the claimed invention specifically target the midsection of a woman's body that needs support while lying down, without providing unnecessary and/or unwanted bulk. | 07-09-2009 |

| 20110049083 | BASE FOR PRESSURIZED BOTTLES - A plastic bottle with a base centered on a vertical axis, a continuous standing ring to support the bottle, a side wall formed unitarily with the base extending from the base upward to an upper side wall end, and a neck connected to the side wall upper end, the neck including a finish adapted to receive a cap to close an opening into the bottle interior. The bottle base standing ring is defined in vertical cross-section by a continuous curve bounded on a radial inside by an interior region that can include a plurality of concave domed wedge-shaped sections interspaced with buttress sections having substantially planar inclined outer portions. The bottle base standing ring has a diameter less than 80% of the maximum side wall width and is bounded on a radial outside by a conic section portion centered on the vertical axis having an apex angle of less than 1600 to improve the perpendicularity of the bottle. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110149308 | RED-GREEN-BLUE TO MONOCHROME COLOR CONVERSION - Systems and associated methods provide for converting an RGB color image to a grayscale image via a lookup table of correction values. The lookup table is generated and used to compensate for errors in converting the color image to the grayscale image. The lookup table is generated by generating a reference image having pixels with color values in the RGB color space, converting a first copy of the reference image to a grayscale reference image via interpolation, and converting a second copy of the reference image to an intermediate image. The intermediate image comprises chrominance and luminance values (e.g., YCbCR or YCgCo). The chrominance values are removed from the intermediate image. The intermediate image is then compared to the grayscale reference image to generate the correction values. The lookup table may then be applied to a grayscale image that has been converted from the RGB color image. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110235944 | DIGITAL IMAGE SCALING WITH NON INTEGER SCALING FACTORS - Non integer scaling of images to reduce artifacts is presented herein. One embodiment includes determining a scaling resolution based on a pixel resolution of the image and a pixel resolution of an output device (i.e., factors of the scaling resolution). The image is converted to the scaling resolution to change (e.g., increase) the pixels of the image by the first factor. A grid is generated to scale the converted image. The grid has a number of sections defined according to the second factor times the pixel resolution of an output device. The converted image is sectioned according to the grid. Each section of the grid includes an integer number of pixels of the converted image. The color values of the pixels of the converted image are averaged within each section of the grid to compute a single color value for each section of the grid and scale the image. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20090239684 | GOLF BALL MARK REPAIR TOOL - A golf ball mark repair tool includes an integrated set of rosary beads. Attached to the circumference of a circular handle are rosary beads operable to facilitate praying the rosary. The beads are equally spaced and apart from the handle to provide the user with not only an ability to discretely conduct the rosary but an enhanced tactual feel. At the same time the tool is operable to repair a ball mark. The tool further includes a detachable center portion operable as a mean for marking a player's ball on the green. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090063117 | ADDING POSITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SURFACES IN A GEOLOGICAL FORMATION AFTER TRANSFORMING TO A GAPPED REPRESENTATION - A system, method and memory medium for injecting positional information into a geological data set for improved modeling of surfaces in a geological formation. The method involves: (1) displaying a cross section of the formation through a selected subset of wells, where the displayed cross section includes well picks for the selected wells; (2) opening a gap in an unconformity of the displayed cross section, where the gap is opened at one or more wells that intersect the unconformity, where the gap represents non-deposition and/or material that is missing from the formation due to erosion; (3) receiving user input specifying positions of tops within the gap; and (4) closing the gap, where closing the gap includes calculating positions of restored tops based on the positions of the tops specified within the gap, where the positions of the restored tops are usable to model one or more surfaces in the formation. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100292972 | Hybrid Stratigraphic Layering Using Pseudo-Wheeler Space - A sequence in the earth, defined by an upper sequence boundary and a lower sequence boundary, where at least one of the boundaries includes an unconformity, is modeled by creating a restored space corresponding to the sequence by reconstructing a portion of the sequence missing because of the unconformity. The sequence in restored space has a restored top boundary having a position and a restored base boundary having a position. Stratigraphic layering is performed within the restored space sequence, using as guides the positions of the restored top boundary and the restored base boundary of the sequence in restored space. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110074766 | DRAWING GRAPHICAL OBJECTS IN A 3D SUBSURFACE ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for drawing in a three-dimensional space. The drawings may include dots, line segments, arrows, polylines (open and closed), polygons, surfaces and 3D volumes. The method may include receiving user input that specifies a drawing in a displayed window and mapping the drawing into the 3D space. The mapping process may involve mapping the drawing onto a surface of an existing graphical object in the 3D space, or, mapping the drawing onto a user-specified plane in the 3D space. The drawing may represent a user's interpretation of a geological feature present on the graphical object surface. The graphical object may represent an object of significance in hydrocarbon exploration and production, e.g., an interpreted section or horizon in the earth's subsurface. | 03-31-2011 |
