Abstract:
A system and method of automatic local grid refinements in reservoir simulation systems is described. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method is directed to a computer-implemented method of modeling a formation. The method includes applying a coarse grid to a geologic formation of interest, the coarse grid having a plurality of coarse grid blocks and identifying a structure of interest disposed in the formation. Further, the method includes determining a fine grid zone around the structure based upon a time period for flow simulation of the geologic formation and a geologic characteristic of the geologic formation in a local region adjacent the structure and applying a fine grid to the coarse grid blocks encompassed by the fine grid zone.
Abstract:
Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing methods are provided for implicitly discovering applications using a query or search results, where the query does not explicitly target a particular application. A search engine is used to receive a user-initiated query and to employ a keyword of the query to generate an initial set of search results. Characteristics of the search results are identified and applications that are relevant to the characteristics are determined. The determination of relevant applications include: accessing an application manifest that manages a mapping between applications and predefined characteristics; comparing the characteristics of the search results against the predefined characteristics of the application manifest to determine a match; and, when a match exists between the search-result characteristics and the predefined characteristics, identifying applications mapped to the matched characteristics as being relevant to the search results. These identified applications are presented in response to the query.
Abstract:
A method and system for probing mobile ion diffusivity and electrochemical reactivity on a nanometer length scale of a free electrochemically active surface includes a control module that biases the surface of the material. An electrical excitation signal is applied to the material and induces the movement of mobile ions. An SPM probe in contact with the surface of the material detects the displacement of mobile ions at the surface of the material. A detector measures an electromechanical strain response at the surface of the material based on the movement and reactions of the mobile ions. The use of an SPM tip to detect local deformations allows highly reproducible measurements in an ambient environment without visible changes in surface structure. The measurements illustrate effective spatial resolution comparable with defect spacing and well below characteristic grain sizes of the material.

The compounds of the general formula is useful for the prevention and treatment of bone related disorders.
Abstract:
User-specific services are presented to users together with associated entities. Initially, providers of services provide information about such services, including a name of the service, action that correlates the service to an entity being presented to the user, identification of entities with which the service is correlated, and further information to which the user can be directed. Subsequently, a user can identify those services to which they have a connection, derive the benefits of, or are otherwise associated with. Collections of entities can be reviewed to determine whether any entities are associated with services that the user has identified as having a connection thereto and those entities having such an association can be presented with indicia of such an association. An action is presented to the user, and user action directed thereto provides additional information in the form of a pop-up window, a separately presented collection of information, or both.
Abstract:
A system may include a monitoring engine to monitor configuration items of each layer of a multilayer network in a synchronized fashion in which each layer is monitored at a predefined time interval following monitoring of configuration items of another layer.
Abstract:
An application (“app”) may be associated with a web site, so that an online service may use the connection between the app and the web site. In one example, the online service is an information provider, such as a search engine or advertising engine. The online service provides a web administrator portal, through which a webmaster provides or generates a secret code. The webmaster gives the secret code to an app developer, who gives the code to an app store when the app is published. If the service provides information about the web site (e.g., as a search result or ad impression), the service may also provide an indication of the app, since the use of the code represents confirmation by both the webmaster and app developer that a relationship exists between the web site and the app.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for shortcut sets to data sources, such as web sites, is disclosed. The shortcut sets may be associated with a controlled environment. A controlled environment might be a home, corporation, business, etc. As an example, an information technology (IT) manager configures shortcuts for the employees of the company. As another example, a family member configures shortcuts that are common to all family members, when at home. A user may enter a shortcut into a search box of a web browser to be directed to a data source. If the shortcut indicates a search at the data source is desired, then a search is automatically performed at the data source.
Abstract:
A mat or mat-pre-form hybrid for use in an exhaust gas treatment device, such as catalytic converters and diesel particulate traps that are used in automotive exhaust systems. The mat or hybrid may be used as a mounting mat to mount a fragile monolith within an outer housing of an exhaust gas treatment device or as thermal insulation in an end cone of the exhaust gas treatment device.
Abstract:
A method, router node, and set of instructions for using express virtual channels in a component network on a chip are disclosed. An input link 302 may receive an express flow control unit from a source node 102 in a packet-switched network via an express virtual channel 110. An output link 306 may send the express flow control unit to a sink node 106. A switch allocator 322 may forward the express flow control unit directly to the output link 306.
