International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

The invention provides systems and method for optimizing the utilization of multiple channels in a marketing campaign, the multiple channels each being candidates for utilization in the marketing campaign. The method is implemented on a computer system. The method may include providing a mathematical representation of the candidate channels; and providing a mathematical representation of an interrelationship between the candidate channels. Further, the method may include providing a mathematical framework to optimize the utilization of the channels, the mathematical framework incorporating the mathematical representation of the candidate channels and the mathematical representation of an interrelationship between the candidate channels. The method may further include running the mathematical framework to generate results, the results including the channels to utilize in the marketing campaign and leads to utilize in such channels; and outputting the results.

US Classification:

324303

Abstract:

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging tool assembly method that employs rotational indexing to optimize the sensing volume. At least some embodiments include establishing an initial arrangement of the permanent magnets and marking each magnet to indicate their relative rotational orientations in the initial arrangement. Thereafter a series of magnetic field measurements and individual magnet rotations are performed to improve uniformity of the magnetic field in the sensing volume. Once a satisfactory arrangement has been found, the magnets may be secured together and an antenna array installed along with the electronics for performing relaxation time measurements and providing logs of formation properties that can be derived therefrom, such as porosity, permeability, density, rock type, fluid type, etc. The tool may be packaged as a wireline sonde, a tubing-conveyed logging tool, or a logging while drilling (LWD) tool.
