    Abstract: Processes and configurations for subterranean resource extraction are provided. The processes include installing borehole strings, such as by drilling a plurality of boreholes, for example, first and second boreholes, that extend from a surface region into a resource deposit. The first and second boreholes are situated adjacent to each other. Portions of the first and second boreholes laterally extend in a penannularly fashion and connect terminally at a nodal space situated within the resource deposit. Carrier fluid is injected from the surface along fluid paths defined by the boreholes to in situ leach resource materials from the resource deposit into the carrier fluid, and carrier fluid containing the resource materials is brought back to surface for resource extraction.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for determining delay of a plurality of media streams. The system and method involve generating, at a source processor, a series of source time packets; transmitting, at the source processor, through a network, the series of source time packets as a source packet stream; generating, at a destination processor, a series of destination time packets; receiving, at the destination processor, through the network, the source packet stream; determining, at the destination processor, a transmission time for the source packet stream based on the source time data and the destination time data; and determining, at the destination processor, a relative synchronization error based on the source signature data and the destination signature data. Each source time packet includes source time data and source signature data. Each destination time packet includes destination time data and destination signature data.
