Abstract:
A method is disclosed for converting seismic data (112) obtained at known points to synthesized seismic traces (150) obtainable at arbitrarily selected points. Two dimensional seismic data (112, 910) are converted to dense three dimensional data (930) with the aid of a programmed computer (120, 130, 920) to permit generation of arbitrary views of a particular geologic structure as well as a mathematical representation of the structure. The data is used to locate (940) potential drilling and mining locations for drilling oil or other minerals (950). In order to provide accurate interpolation from the sparse two dimensional data (112, 910), both apparent (127) and true dip (136) characteristics are obtained for the surveyed structure, and seismic trace data for a desired point are synthesized (140) as a function of the dip of the surveyed structure. The dip characteristics are obtained (136) from partial derivatives of the two dimensional data in specified coordinate directions (x, y). A three dimensional surface corresponding to the dip characteristics is obtained by a least squared fitting technique (135). The data obtained at the known points (114) are weighted (142) both by distance from the desired point and the semblance coefficients (128) associated with dip for these points to synthesize (140) the desired data (150).
Abstract:
A rust conversion composition comprises the reaction product of a polyhydroxybenzoic acid and a alkane polyol, in admixture with a film forming polymer, and water. The composition is applied to rusted, iron-containing surface, and allowed to dry to from a hard, moisture and corrosion resistant film. Alternatively, the film may be removed to produce an iron-containing surface free of rust.

Abstract:
Un procédé permettant de convertir des données sismiques (112), obtenues à des points connus, en traces (150) sismiques synthétisés que l'on peut obtenir à des points sélectionnés arbitrairement. Des données sismiques bidimensionnelles (112, 910) sont converties en données tridimensionnelles denses (930) à l'aide d'un ordinateur programmé (120, 130, 920) permettant de générer des vues arbitraires d'une structure géologique particulière, ainsi qu'une représentation mathématique de la structure. Les données sont utilisées pour situer les sites (940) potentiels de forage d'exploitation pour forer du pétrole ou d'autres minéraux (950). Afin d'obtenir une interpolation précise des données bidimensionnelles clairsemées (112, 910), les caractéristiques, à la fois du pendage apparent (127) et du pendage réel (136) concernant la structure étudiée, sont recueillies, et les données de traces sismiques concernant un point désiré sont synthétisées (140) en fonction du pendage de la structure étudiée. Les caractéristiques du pendage sont obtenues (136) à partir de dérivées partielles des données bidimensionnelles dans des directions coordonnées spécifiques (x, y). Une surface tridimensionnelle correspondant aux caractéristiques du pendage est obtenue par une technique d'adapation basée sur les moindres carrés (135). Les données obtenues aux points connus (114) sont pondérées (142) à la fois pour la distance à partir du point désiré et les coefficients d'apparence (128) associés au pendage concernant ces points, afin de synthétiser les données désirées (150).
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the production of alkali metal sulfates from an aqueous solution containing alkali metal hydrogen sulfate which comprises contacting the aqueous solution of alkali metal hydrogen sulfate with a hydrophilic solvent, the hydrophilic solvent being effective to extract at least a portion of the sulfuric acid formed during the conversion of the alkali metal hydrogen sulfate to alkali metal sulfate in the solution together with at least a portion of the water present; permitting the alkali metal sulfate solid to crystallize; and recovering the solid alkali metal sulfate product. The hydrophilic solvent may then be extracted and separated from the sulfuric acid with a hydrophobic solvent and both solvents can be recovered and recycled.
Abstract:
A novel tire sealant and inflator composition comprising a resin, a latex sealant, alkylene glycol, fibers, an alkanolamine, a foaming agent, and water. The composition is packaged in aerosol cans with a chlorofluorocarbon propellant/inflator and used to seal and inflate punctured tires. The composition is applied to the punctured tire through the valve stem, and acts to seal the puncture and inflate the tire sufficiently to support the weight of the car.
