20100132448 | METHOD OF DETERMINING SATURATIONS IN A RESERVOIR - A method of determining water saturations from a deep-reading resistivity measurement in a reservoir is provided including the step of estimating, through for example a reservoir simulation process, a spatial distribution of a parameter related to the water conductivity at locations beyond the immediate vicinity of wells penetrating the reservoir and combining the spatial distribution of a parameter related to the water conductivity with a spatial distribution of resistivity as obtained from the deep-reading resistivity measurement to derive a spatial distribution of water saturations at said locations beyond the immediate vicinity of wells, wherein estimation step may be iterative to minimize a mismatch between simulation and measurement. | 06-03-2010 |

20150061683 | MAPPING RESISTIVITY DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE EARTH - Resistivity in subsurface earth at locations kilometers away from wells in the reservoirs is mapped and monitored. An electromagnetic source with an electrode is deployed a borehole in the reservoir, and a group of sensors at counter electrodes is deployed at a number of other locations radially spaced at some distance from the well. The source transmits a current which flows to the counter electrodes causing an electromagnetic field which is sensed at the sensors. The source is activated at different depths in the well and ratios of the electromagnetic field sensed with the source at different depths used to obtain data to map the resistivity. The sensors are capable of sensing electromagnetic fields along two orthogonal axes, and the measurements at a sensor along these axes used to reduce undesirable effects of noise and other factors on the data measurements. | 03-05-2015 |
20150061684 | BOREHOLE ELECTRIC FIELD SURVEY WITH IMPROVED DISCRIMINATION OF SUBSURFACE FEATURES - Errors produced in a borehole to surface electromagnetic (BSEM) survey by near surface electrical anomalies on the estimates of formation properties are reduced. The effects of variations in subsurface electrical resistivity near the surface are separated from electrical resistivity changes at locations in the formations of interest far from the measurement region. A survey system includes one or more electrodes to inject electrical current at formation depth within a borehole, one or more counter electrodes which collect such current on the surface of the earth, and one or more electrodes to inject current on the surface. A transmitter is selectively connectable to different sets of the electrodes to cause a current to flow between the selected electrode sets. The resultant fields from the current flow are sensed and processed. The effects of near surface anomalies are detectable in the data and removable from the survey data of interest regarding the formations. The survey data more accurately indicates formation features or properties of interest. | 03-05-2015 |

20140361777 | SENSOR FOR MEASURING THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS ON LAND AND UNDERWATER - An electromagnetic sensing system operates either in land environments or in marine environments on the floor of a body of water to measure electromagnetic fields. The sensing system has electrodes that provide capacitive coupling to the local environment where measurements are being made. A new method of deployment in water provides considerable size and weight reductions. The size and weight reductions also facilitate deployment and rapid repositioning on land. The system is particularly beneficial for surveying sites adjacent to bodies of water. | 12-11-2014 |

20140295746 | Ventilation System for a Passenger Transit Vehicle - A ventilation system for a passenger transit vehicle that comprises a passenger compartment. The ventilation system comprises a variable speed fan for providing outside air to the passenger compartment, wherein within a given ambient temperature range, the speed of the variable speed fan is controlled such that the air speed produced by the variable speed fan increases with increasing ambient temperature. The ventilation system further comprises a duct system fluidly connecting the variable speed fan to an air diffuser that directs the air from the variable speed fan towards the passengers within the passenger compartment. The cross sectional area of the duct system decreases along its length for providing substantially constant air pressure along its length. The ventilation system is able to provide outside air into the passenger compartment at an air flow speed of greater than 0.15 m/s. | 10-02-2014 |

20090158757 | System and method for controlling the cooling of variable heat loads in heat generating devices - The present invention offers an improvement over prior art cooling systems by accounting for rapid changes in thermal load. The circulation rate of refrigerant in a cooling cycle is set so that the two phase mixture exiting the cold plate evaporator device stays within a saturation dome of all mixtures between a saturated liquid and a saturated vapor. Furthermore, the two phase mixture exiting the cold plate evaporator device is allowed to move within the saturation dome so that the exit quality of the two phase mixture leaving the cold plate evaporator device changes with the heat load being removed. In this way, rapid changes in heat load are removed from the component or components in contact with the cold plate evaporator device without having to change the circulation rate of refrigerant in the cycle. Only the exit quality of the vapor leaving the cold plate/evaporator changes. | 06-25-2009 |

20100198189 | SPINAL MULTISEGMENTAL CELL AND DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM - Delivery devices and methods related thereto may be used in humans for spinal delivery of cells, drugs or vectors. The patient population may include patients with spinal traumatic injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, spinal ischemia and any other spinal neurodegenerative disorders which will require spinal cell, vector or drug delivery. Unlike conventional methods which require multiple injection sites to make multiple, localized substrate deliveries, the delivery devices and methods of the present invention may allow for multiple substrate delivery locations with homogeneous substrate delivery with a single injection site. | 08-05-2010 |
