20060034536, Feb 16, 2006
Filed:

Jun 23, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/165824
Inventors:

Wayne Ogren - Bellingham WA, US
Patrick Love - Bellingham WA, US
Peter McLain - Bellingham WA, US
Rick Mancilla - Ventura CA, US
Edward Steiner - Owings Mills MD, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/40
G06T 17/00
US Classification:

382254000, 345428000
Abstract:

Systems and methods, etc., comprising magnitude enhancement analysis configured to display intensity-related features of high-bit images, such as grayscale, on low-bit display systems, without distorting the underlying intensity unless desired, measuring the thickness of materials, and/or enhancing perception of saturation, hue, color channels and other space dimensions in a digital image, and external datasets related to a 2d image. These various aspects and embodiments provide improve systems and approaches to display and analyze, particularly through the human eye (HVS).

US Patent:

55446728, Aug 13, 1996
Filed:

Oct 20, 1993
Appl. No.:

8/139391
Inventors:

Richard L. Payne - McKinney TX
Richard E. Huff - Anchorage AK
Wayne E. Ogren - Anchorage AK
Assignee:

Atlantic Richfield Company - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:

B01D 1900
US Classification:

137 1
Abstract:

Liquid slug flow in oil production well flowlines and the like is controlled by a throttling valve in the flowline upstream of a gas-liquid separator and a differential pressure gauge, densitometer or other device for measuring the presence and the volume of the slug in the flowline. The throttling valve may be actuated to throttle fluid flow into the separator in relation to the presence of the slug and the duration of the slug as determined by the slug detection device. Slug mitigation may also be controlled by throttling flow into the separator in relation to the level of liquid in the separator between a threshold level and a maximum liquid level. A third method for mitigating slug flow measures the available volume in the separator vessel and the volume of the liquid slug moving toward the separator vessel to effect proportional throttling of fluid flow. A liquid slug may be detected by a differential pressure gauge or a densitometer interposed in the flowline upstream of the throttling valve.
