摘要： A flexible, reconfigurable processing system architecture allows for the implementation of a variety of processing system configurations to be implemented on a single device, which is preferably a PCI bus add-in extension board with an attached daughter card attached and electrically connected thereto through a PCI Mezzanine type connector, and which is plugged into a personal computer PCI expansion slot. The architecture uses the PCI bus, for example, as the local CPU bus for an embedded processor, which not only allows for flexibility in system configuration but also allows PCI devices to be hidden from the host CPU to allow for proper system startup. The architecture further permits an embedded processing CPU to be re-booted when the secondary PCI bus host bus bridge fails to respond without affecting host CPU or other secondary PCI bus peripheral devices. The architecture provides a method of loading an embedded system CPU's local memory with operating system and diagnostic code without the use of ROM or FLASH memory. A system and method of reserving memory is also disclosed which utilizes a dummy or surrogate board with little of no functionality but which has a class code of a common device such as an Ethernet card. The primary system BIOS will read the class code and reserve memory based on the surrogate card. The driver of the non-standard card such as an embedded processor, can then use the memory space allocated to the surrogate card by the BIOS.

摘要： A method for mapping a subterranean formation having an electrically conductive wellbore casing therein may include using a low frequency electromagnetic (EM) transmitter and EM receiver operating at a low frequency of less than or equal to 10 Hertz to perform a first EM survey of the subterranean formation, and with either the low frequency EM transmitter or EM receiver within the electrically conductive well-bore casing. The method may further include injecting a magnetic fluid into the subterranean formation, and using the low frequency EM transmitter and EM receiver to perform a second EM survey of the subterranean formation after injecting the magnetic fluid.

摘要： One embodiment of the invention involves a method for determining whether an electromagnetic survey will be able to distinguish between different subsurface conditions in an area that includes developing a three-dimensional electromagnetic property model of the area, and simulating an electromagnetic response of a field electromagnetic data acquisition system using the three-dimensional electromagnetic property model to determine if expected differences in an electromagnetic response of a electromagnetic data acquisition system are within detectability limits of the system. Another embodiment involves a model-based method of inverting electromagnetic data associated with a subsurface area that includes developing a three-dimensional electromagnetic property model of the area, and restricting changes that may be made to the model during the electromagnetic data inversion process. Other related embodiments of the inventive method are also described and claimed.
