Abstract:
The present invention comprises a system and methods for the conversion of time-recorded seismic data, or images made from them after conversion of time to depth, into data structures that can be imported into and used in a three-dimensional geographic information system. The system and methods are robust with respect to the forms in which the seismic data is input into the invention. The system is general in that it is applicable to cross-sectional data other than those derived in seismic surveys and requires very non-restrictive definitions of cross-sectional planes, their orientations and datums with respect to the volumes they intersect.

Abstract:
An electronic marketplace for service images permits users to browse descriptions of service images implementing desired functionalities of a virtual machine image. The described service images may contain one or more software applications and may be further offered for purchase through an electronic service image marketplace. The electronic marketplace can further provide uniform control objects that are associated with multiple service images and multiple instruction sets. Following an interaction with a particular uniform control object, the electronic marketplace can perform an action on a particular service image based on an association between the particular uniform control object and a particular instruction set associated with the particular service image.

Abstract:
Process for the production of acetic acid and dimethyl ether by contacting methanol and methyl acetate with a catalyst composition at a temperature in the range 140 to 250 ° C. The catalyst composition contains a zeolite having a 2-dimensional channel system comprising at least one channel which has a 10-membered ring.
Abstract:
Techniques for identifying users that issue audio commands based on signatures associated with the commands and additional characteristics associated with the commands. For instance, a device that includes a microphone may capture audio uttered by a user. The device, or another device, may then compare a signature associated with a generated audio signal to audio signatures associated with known users. For instance, the device may have access to multiple audio signatures, each of which is unique to a respective user that has previously interacted with the device or with another device. The device may then use this comparison to help identify the user that uttered the audio. In addition, however, the device may utilize a characteristic other than the audio signature. Using both the comparison of the audio signature to the previously received signatures along with the additional characteristic(s), the device may make a presumed identification of the user.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to implementing management policy in a computer system. The management policy may be applied to a first content unit by using metadata associated with first content unit to manage storage of or access to the first content unit. The metadata associated with the first content unit may be stored in a second content unit that includes in its content, an identifier that identifies the first content unit.
