摘要： A method for determining properties of an earth formation surrounding an earth borehole that involves: providing a logging device moveable through the borehole; transmitting sonic energy into the formation; receiving sonic energy that has traveled through the formation; producing signals representative of the received sonic energy; determining whether the formation is anisotropic; determining whether the formation is inhomogeneous; and outputting a characterization of the formation as one of the following types: isotropic/homogeneous, anisotropic/homogeneous, isotropic/inhomogeneous, and anisotropic/inhomogeneous.

摘要： The present invention describes several techniques for displaying sonic logging data that provide highly reliable, visual quality-control (QC) indicators. One aspect of the present invention is directed to a novel display of sonic logging data corresponding to a slowness frequency analysis (SFA) projection log. One of the benefits of the SFA projection log display of the present invention is that the format of the information displayed may be used to visually confirm the accuracy/inaccuracy of the processed sonic logging data over selected depth intervals. The SFA projection log display may also be used to visually identify any potential problematic or inconsistent portions of the processed sonic logging information. An overlay of estimated wave slowness information may also be displayed onto the SFA log display in a manner which enables an observer of the SFA log display to visually assess the relative accuracy of the estimated wave slowness information over selected depth intervals. The SFA log display may also include a navigable pointer mechanism configured or designed to allow a user to navigate within the SFA log display in order to access depth specific sonic logging information associated with selected depths. In this way selected characteristics of depth specific sonic logging information may be accessed and displayed concurrently with log information for an entire depth interval.

摘要： An ultrasonic implantable device includes an ultrasonic sensor having a plurality of transducers. The sensor is configured for mounting to a vessel wall. A first of the transducers directs sound waves in a direction at least partially upstream or downstream in the vessel. A second of the transducers directs sound waves in a radial direction through an interior of the vessel against a sidewall of the vessel. The sensor monitors a change in frequency of the sound waves from the first transducer to determine a fluid velocity in the vessel. The sensor also monitors a reflection time of the sound waves from the second transducer that return from the sidewall to determine an internal diameter of the vessel. The determined fluid velocity and vessel diameter can be used to determine a volumetric flow rate of the fluid in the vessel.

摘要： The invention called a Framer's Tape Hook is a modification of a tape hook, which is attached to a retractable tape measure. The modification adds the capacity to offset the tape hook by ½ the thickness of any framing member. The purpose of this modification is to mark the edge locations of wall studs, floor and ceiling joist, rafters, and trusses. The Framer's Tape Hook can extend ¾ of an inch for dimension lumber. The Framer's Tape Hook can extend ⅝ of an inch for LGS, or light gauge steel studs. The Framer's Tape Hook can extend 1¼ inches for 2½ inch wide strapping. The Framer's Tape Hook can be set, to accommodate any stud, joist, or rafter size. The Framer's Tape Hook adds speed and accuracy when marking layout, whether it is a 16 inch on-center layout, 24 inch on-center layout, or any other desired layout.

摘要： In a method and system of incorporating team challenges into a social game, a request to start a team challenge is received. The team challenge includes an in-game task that a plurality of players is to complete, with the plurality of players including an initiator and a helper. A selection of the helper from a set of buddies is received, with the set of buddies being based on a social network of the initiator. A completion of the in-game task by each of the plurality of players is detected. A reward is provided to each of the plurality of players based on the completion. In this way, new players are attracted to the social game, and current players increase their levels of participation in the social game.

摘要： Method and apparatus for fabricating a rigid framed image wherein an image is received in an electronic form. The image is then associated with a frame template to form a virtualized framed image. A cut directive is created in association with a printer directive so that the image is imparted onto a substrate on one side and grooves are cut into the opposite side of the substrate so that the substrate can subsequently be formed into a three dimensional picture frame.
