Abstract: A bond log analysis apparatus and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system receives a Cement Bond Log (CBL) including a Variable Density Log (VDL) and at least one Secondary Data Track (SDT). The system conducts an initial analysis of the VDL to identify characteristics and patterns related to cement bonding conditions at a specified depth. If a possible discontinuity is identified, the system sequentially analyzes VDL data from adjacent depths to determine the vertical extent of the anomaly. For the identified vertical extent, the system performs a detailed analysis using SDT data to characterize the cement bonding issues. The system then synthesizes the VDL and SDT data to generate a report providing an analysis of the cement integrity around the wellbore casing. The method follows similar steps for bond log analysis.

Abstract: Systems and instruction carrying non-transitory processor-readable mediums are provided to facilitate access of radar data that may be scattered or non-uniformly located within a region of memory for further processing of such radar data. An example system includes counters that increment on different dimensions of the memory region, a lookup table, multipliers, an adder, and a wraparound mechanism to access different sets of non-contiguously stored radar data from a region of memory. The wraparound mechanism performs a wraparound operation when a combined address, generated by the adder based on addresses obtained by the multipliers, is greater than a last valid address in the region. The wraparound operation generates a new combined address that is used to fetch data from the memory. A transform operation is then performed on the fetched data.

Abstract: A current thread pattern is identified. For example, a thread pattern of a running software application is identified. Current resource information associated with the current thread pattern is identified. For example, the current resource information may include disk usage, packets sent, ports used, accounts created, etc. The current thread pattern and the current resource information associated with the current thread pattern are compared to an existing malicious thread pattern associated with a type of malware and existing malicious resource information associated with the existing thread pattern. A determination is made if the comparison meets a threshold. For example, if the current thread pattern is 90% similar to the existing malicious thread pattern and the current resource information is within 75% of the existing malicious resource information, the threshold is met. In response to the comparison meeting the threshold, an action is taken to mitigate the type of malware.

Abstract: A method of modifying a CAD system model performed on a data processing system includes receiving a dataset of co-ordinates representing an article in 2d, or in 3d and receiving 2d or 3d constraints respectively, to be applied to any changes to the dataset of co-ordinates for the article. A modification to be applied to the dataset is received and combined with the relevant 2d and 3d constraints to produce a constrained modification for each of the article and associated article. The constrained modification is solved in 2d and in 3d to determine whether a solution exists in which all constraints are met. If the solve is successful, the constrained modification is applied to each dataset simultaneously and, updated datasets are stored. If the solve fails, the constraints may be reduced and the solve step repeated, or the process is terminated.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards an efficient way for a bandwidth reduced mobile device/user equipment to select a bandwidth reduced neighbor cell for connecting thereto. A first data structure, such as a system information block 4 or 5 (SIB4 or SIB5) is to be mapped to a corresponding bandwidth reduced system information block 4 or 5 (SIB4-BR or SIB5-BR) data structure. The network device performing the mapping obtains information of which neighbor cells are capable of supporting bandwidth reduced mobile devices. In a filtering operation, only information of the bandwidth reduced capable neighbor cells are mapped and sent to the bandwidth reduced mobile device. The bandwidth reduced mobile device thus only scans bandwidth capable neighbors, rather than a full set of neighbor cells. A bandwidth reduced capability indicator can be obtained as part of neighbor cell capability data, or a neighbor cell can be queried for such information.
