Database Driven Oil Industry Software - Yesterday and Today

The idea of creating database driven oil industry software programs for use in exploration and production was introduced in the early 1990s.  The Petrotechnical Open Software Corp’s request for information in 1991 generated a great deal of positive feedback from major companies directly involved in drilling and refining, as well as a variety of support [...]

Telemetry and Innovative Sensor Data Analysis Systems

Recently, industry introduced telemetry-on-a-chip transmitters have been constructed to easily interface with various kinds of sensors that are able to convert sampled analog signals to digital code. This code is sent to a receiver via radio transmission where the original analog signal is reconstructed and a scaled output signal is produced.
This process opens the door [...]

Wireless Technologies

Wireless technologies will become massive in its pervasiveness and impact
virtually every aspect of life evolving well beyond mobile phones and PDAs to other devices, services, channels and content.
Microwave circuits afford more frequency spectrum and very short antennas. With GaAs and SiGe, entire microwave transceivers can be inexpensively put on a single chip.
New modulation methods, like [...]

Telemetry and Database Driven Robotics

Challenges such as voice, obstacle and image recognition, emotional response, and eye-hand coordination still remain. High-performance processors, hardware to provide situational awareness, and improved artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling researchers to create lifelike robots that run or have facial expressions.
High intelligence is a missing ingredient.
Considerable progress will be made if robots possessed the intelligence needed [...]
