20110086772 | MULTIPLEX (+/-) STRANDED ARRAYS AND ASSAYS FOR DETECTING CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES - Multiplex (+/−) stranded analyses, such as array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), are provided for detecting chromosomal rearrangements associated with cancer and other diseases. For example, an illustrative multiplex array for CGH includes discrete plus (+) strand and minus (−) strand DNA probes, complementary to each other but separable on the CGH array. The minus (−) strand DNA probes recover diagnostic information lost to conventional microarrays, since many genes transcribe from the minus (−) strand. In an illustrative system, patient and control DNA samples are prepared for CGH by amplification and labeling using comprehensive primers that generate both plus (+) strands and minus (−) strands of DNA in the samples. The breakpoints of a translocated chromosome may be detected on a multiplex microarray by DNA probes of one polarity, while DNA copy number changes associated with the translocation region may be detected by corresponding DNA probes of the complementary polarity. Related methods for identifying translocation partner genes are also provided. | 04-14-2011 |

Surprise may be conveyed by detecting the location of the user's eyes in the video stream, enlarging a size aspect of the eyes so as to appear ‘wide-eyed’, but leaving other aspects such as color and shape unchanged. Then, the location and/or orientation of the eyes in the video stream are tracked, and the augmentation is applied to the eyes at each tracked location and/or orientation. In another embodiment, identified features may be removed from the video stream and replaced with images, graphics, video, and the like. | 03-22-2012 |

20130144532 | IDENTIFICATION OF RESERVOIR GEOMETRY FROM MICROSEISMIC EVENT CLOUDS - A method for characterizing fracture planes generated during a hydraulic fracturing process, comprises receiving microseismic data from the hydraulic fracturing process and processing a microseismic event cloud from the received microseismic data. This is followed by determining at least one reservoir geometry from the microseismic event cloud. The determination of geometry may consist of determining multiple candidate geometries and probability of each. In some forms of the invention the method may comprise postulating a set of candidate geometries with differing numbers of fracture planes, determining the most probable locations of the postulated fracture planes in each member of the set of candidate geometries and also determining relative probabilities of the candidate geometries in the postulated set. Determining a location of a fracture plane may comprise calculating a number density for each microseismic event, dependent on distance from some possible location of a fracture plane or fracture network. Finding the location of a plane may then be finding the location for which the number density is greatest. The determination of reservoir geometry may be followed by determination of the area of the fracture planes and/or by a prediction of production. | 06-06-2013 |
