International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707101, 707102

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for improved performance of table insertion by using multiple tables or multiple threads. A command is executed in a computer to perform a database operation on a relational database stored on a data store connected to the computer. A multi-dimensional database is represented as a relational schema in the relational database, wherein the relational schema includes one or more base tables, related dimension tables, and a key table. Each of the base tables and the key table is accessed concurrently to perform the database operation.

US Classification:

707 2, 707 7, 707102, 707205, 715503

Abstract:

A technique for accessing a subject multi-dimensional database stored on a data store connected to the computer. An index is created for the subject multi-dimensional database, wherein the index includes another multi-dimensional database having dimensions of the subject multi-dimensional database and an additional ranking dimension. Then, the subject multi-dimensional database is accessed using the index.

US Classification:

707 5, 707 3, 707 2

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer products that efficiently determine useful dimensions associated with a database when employing OLAP processing techniques. The present invention enables a user to see at a glance in which queries certain columns and tables are used. The present invention may be implemented with a query miner module that may include a query browser module that improves browsing through queries and their components over the past. The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an easy to use graphical interface showing the queries, tables, and columns in a tree structure. Further, the preferred embodiment of the present invention presents information about relationships and dimensions associated with a database and about columns, tables, and queries to the user without discernable lag time between the user's request and the generated information.

International Classification:

G01V 1/36

US Classification:

367 51, 367 50, 367 54

Abstract:

A method is used to convert seismic data between bounding upper and lower surfaces in the time domain to the depth domain. An upper depth surface corresponding to the upper time surface is determined, either from well data or by time-depth conversion of the upper time surface. An interval velocity value is determined for each seismic sample between the bounding time surfaces from velocity data generated from well logs. The seismic times between the bounding time surfaces are then converted to the depth domain by adding the thickness of each seismic sample to the upper depth surface, wherein the thickness of each seismic sample is a function of the seismic sample rate and interval velocity value for each seismic sample. The seismic attribute values from the converted seismic data can be interpolated to a linear depth sampling.

US Classification:

367 25, 367 27, 367 33

Abstract:

A method for obtaining a seismic wavelet using seismic data in a deviated well includes the steps of: (a) extracting seismic data along the well path; (b) calculating the well path in the time domain; (c) extracting a window of seismic data in the time domain along the well path in the time domain; (d) combining the extracted window of seismic data to obtain a composite seismic trace; and (e) extracting a seismic wavelet using the composite seismic trace.
