20140316706 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CORRELATING GEOLOGIC TOPS - A system and method are provided for automatically correlating geologic tops. The system receives well logs from different well bores and one or more user seed picks identifying a well top to be correlated.

The system performs correlation by selecting a window of well log data about a user's manual pick, selected from the top of the priority queue, and then finding the best optimal match with a corresponding window in a neighboring wellbore. That new pick is then estimated in the target well using a correlation function. A quality value and a confidence value may then be calculated for each pick using some correlation function, for example dynamic time warping, and added to the priority queue according to the confidence value. The system may be configured so that picks that fall below a preset quality or confidence value may be discarded and not added to the queue. The system may then move on to the next pick in the priority queue. | 10-23-2014 |

20150248687 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNET ADVERTISING - Systems and methods are provided to increase the value of the space allocated to a banner advertisement space on a web site by linking it into a larger space, which may be occupied by a game, exposing the user to messages from many advertisers instead of a single merchant on the original banner advertisement space. By providing a balance of risk greed, skill, and reward, end-users become incentivized to play a game repeatedly as they develop their own strategy about how to maximize their score. Throughout the playing of a game, the logos or other identifying images of one or more advertisers deliver many impressions to an end-user, and each advertiser has a high likelihood of an intentional, rather than unintentional, click-through to its web site, social media page, or similar form or format for presenting advertising messages and increased end-user awareness of advertising content. | 09-03-2015 |

The method may include determining an amount of data to be transferred, determining at least one available communication mode, determining a power state of the power supply including an available amount of energy at a corresponding amount of at least one of power and current, selecting at least one communication mode based on the power state of the power supply and the amount of data to be transferred, and transferring the data using the selected at least one communication modes. | 12-25-2008 |
20090298533 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR INITIATING FUNCTIONS BASED ON MOVEMENT CHARACTERISTICS RELATIVE TO A REFERENCE - Disclosed are devices and methods of an electronic device configured to adaptably process arbitrary conditions to provide a user options for initiating or activating a non-display electronic function of the device. A user is free to determine how to position or orient the device. To determine in real-time, arbitrary conditions of the device, the disclosed devices and methods of an electronic device include determining that the electronic device is at rest and then acquiring a reference in response to determining that the electronic device is at rest. In this way, the device may assume any position or orientation to acquire a reference. Subsequently, subtle movement of the electronic device relative to the acquired reference may be detected to initiate a non-display electronic function of the electronic device. The user therefore may make choices inconspicuously and privately as to which non-display electronic function to initiate. | 12-03-2009 |
20130166609 | HIERARCHICAL BEHAVIORAL PROFILE - In a hierarchical profile, each node represents at least one feature of behavioral data collected about an entity profiled, with the topmost node selected as the “statistically most informative” feature of the data. A profile can cover numerous domains and be predictively very powerful in each domain. A number of observations can be “aggregated” together into a single datapoint. In use, the structure of the profile is compared against current information associated with the entity to produce a recommendation or prediction. If the profile represents at least some data aggregation, then new observations are folded into the profile based on statistical weights of the aggregations. Because of the way the profile is created and updated, its hierarchical structure maps the collected observations. Therefore, as new observations are incorporated, if the new observations change the profile's structure significantly, then it can be hypothesized that something “interesting” has happened to the entity. | 06-27-2013 |

20080230717 | PHOTOACOUSTIC INDICATORS - A method of measuring fluorophore excited state lifetimes comprising initiating an excitation laser pulse at a dye to excite dye molecules of the dye from a ground state to an excited state and initiating a probing pulse at the dye molecules thereby generating a first set of photoacoustic waves at a first time delay resulting in a first intensity point. The process can be repeated, optionally introducing a second excitation laser pulse, to generate a second set of photoacoustic waves at a second time delay resulting in a second intensity point. The data can be analyzed to determine a slope between the first intensity point and the second intensity point. | 09-25-2008 |
