Appl. No.:

11/759098

Inventors:

Wei Huang - Madison WI, US
David Jarrard - Madison WI, US

International Classification:

G01N 33/574

US Classification:

435007230

Abstract:

A method of detecting the presence or absence of alpha methylacyl A coenzyme racemase (AMACR) is provided. In one embodiment of the method, a fluid including a secretion chosen from at least one of a prostate secretion or a secretion from an accessory glad or a cellular component of the fluid is obtained from a subject. The fluid is contacted with a reagent for detecting AMACR under conditions such that the reagent detects AMACR in the semen. The level of AMACR is determined such as by comparing it to a standard curve. The fluid can be semen or a prostate secretion or another fluid. A kit that can be used with the method is also provided.

International Classification:

C21B 7/00

US Classification:

266 44

Abstract:

The present invention is a method of integrating oxygen production with blast furnace operation. A heated air stream is introduced to an ion transfer membrane separator, producing a permeate and a retentate. The permeate and the motive stream are introduced into an ejector jet pump producing an oxygen enriched stream. The oxygen enriched stream is introduced into blast furnace. In another embodiment of the present invention, the permeate and a steam motive stream are introduced into an ejector jet pump. Heated air inlet stream is introduced into a cascading series of ion transfer membrane separators, producing a series of permeate streams and a series of retentate streams wherein each retentate stream acts as the input stream for the subsequent ion transfer membrane separator. Thereby producing a series of oxygen enriched streams which are combined and introduced into blast furnace.

International Classification:

G01V 1/36

Abstract:

A method of geophysical exploration in a seismic survey includes acquiring a set of seismic traces based on seismic data obtained by a seismic receiver, responsive to seismic energy reflected from a subsurface geology. Additional steps include performing reverse time migration on the seismic traces using a velocity model that represents velocity of the seismic energy propagating through the seismic medium. The migrated gathers have an amplitude based at least in part on the migration, which can be corrected by computing synthetic seismograms to provide compensated gathers. Amplitude versus offset and/or amplitude versus angle analysis can be performed on the compensated gathers, in order to generate a seismic image of subsurface structures in the survey area.

G01V 1/50

Abstract:

A method that includes deploying an acoustic caliper tool in a borehole, the tool having several axially-spaced acoustic transceivers; obtaining acoustic signal reflection measurements for the transceivers; estimating a distance-to-boundary value for the transceivers based on reflection measurements; calculating a tool inclination angle based on the distance-to-boundary values; and deriving a correction value based on the angle. A system that includes an acoustic caliper tool having several axially-spaced acoustic transceivers to obtain reflection measurements; at least one processor; and at least one memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing instructions that cause the processor to: receive the acoustic signal reflection measurements; estimate a distance-to-boundary value for the transceivers based on the reflection measurements; calculate a tool inclination angle based on the distance-to-boundary values; and derive a correction value based on the angle.

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are implementations of various technologies for a method for seismic data processing. The method may receive seismic data for a region of interest. The seismic data may be acquired in a seismic survey. The method may determine an exclusion criterion. The exclusion criterion may provide rules for selecting shot points in the acquired seismic data. The method may determine sparse seismic data using statistical sampling based on the exclusion criterion and the acquired seismic data. The method may determine simulated seismic data based on the earth model and shot points corresponding to the sparse seismic data. The method may determine an objective function that represents a mismatch between the sparse seismic data and the simulated seismic data. The method may update the earth model using the objective function.
