20100090876 | CONTINUOUS SYNCHRONIZATION FOR MULTIPLE ADCS - A system, apparatus and method for continuous synchronization of multiple ADC circuits is described. The ADC circuits can be arranged in a master-slave configuration within the system so that the converter clock is subdivided into slower speeds for the data output clock or for the control of de-multiplexing the outputs onto a wider bus, while maintaining ADC-to-ADC synchronization resilient to perturbations from noise and other upset sources. The configuration of the ADCs in the master-slave configuration can be varied according to overall system requirements in any one of a sequential configuration, a parallel configuration or a tree type of configuration, as well as others. Digital and/or analog timing adjustments can be made to each of the ADC circuits. The master clocking signals can be generated by a master clock generator circuit, which is either internally implemented in an ADC circuit, or externally implemented as a separate master clock generator circuit. | 04-15-2010 |

20100017131 | METHOD FOR EVALUATING MEASURED ELECTROMAGNETIC DATA RELATING TO A SUBSURFACE REGION - A method for evaluating measured electromagnetic (EM) data relating to a subsurface region, comprising the steps of: (a) specifying alternative models of the region in terms of input parameters with uncertainty; (b) receiving the measured EM data and an estimated error; and (c) carrying out a Bayesian inversion on the measured data using each of the alternative models to attribute a probability to each model on the basis of the measured data and estimated error. The method allows physical measurements with error to be translated into fundamental parameters which can be used to assess business risk and uncertainty for making decisions, and also provides for parameters and models which can typically be directly estimated by a geoscientist on a coarse spatial grid to be used as an input, and validated using the measured data with error. | 01-21-2010 |
