Prior to the conference, a Concurrent Real Time and Distributed Computing / Objects Conferencing Module communicates a library of digital objects to at least one participant communications device via a distributed computing and / or distributed objects network. During the conference, the host communicates a synchronization command to the at least one participant communications device, and the synchronization command instructs the participant communications device to present a synchronized object. Then, a non-participant communicates with the host to join the conference, and in response, the host communicates a real-time object to the add-in participant communications device. Concurrently, the host analyzes a conference communications factor to determine a subsequent conference communications connection that leverages distributed computing and / or distributed objects of the conference network. Thereafter, the subsequent communications connection is established. Furthermore, the add-in participant communications device and participant communications device may communicate a synchronization acknowledgment back to the Concurrent Real Time and Distributed Computing / Objects Conferencing Module. The synchronization confirmation acknowledges a successful presentation of the synchronized object to the add-in participant and / or participant communications device.

A fault detection system is provided for a display system including an AMLCD. A video processor embeds encoded fault detection data within the digital video stream that is sent directly to the AMLCD. The fault detection data is embedded in such a manner that it is not displayed by the AMLCD. The fault detection data in the digital video stream received by the AMLCD is detected by the AMLCD and is then sent back to the video processor. The video processor compares what was sent with what is received to determine whether there is a difference which may be indicative of a fault in the AMLCD or the path of the digital video stream. As an additional check, the AMLCD may send timing error data to the video processor indicating whether the AMLCD is working properly. The video processor generates and outputs a fault flag to initiate a corrective action if a fault is detected in the AMLCD and / or the path of the digital video stream.

The pattern of protuberances may be concentric circular protuberances, other closed geometric protuberances, or semi-circular with rounded or tapered ends to avoid presentation of a sharp edge to a clamped sheet material.

To process geological log data, a two-dimensional set of log values recorded at a plurality of points is obtained about a borehole periphery, and over a chosen length along the borehole. The set of log values are decomposed by identifying in the set one or more main functions indicative of one or more main geological layer features of the rock penetrated by the borehole and removing log values corresponding to values of the main functions from the set of log values. Further decomposing the set of log values can be performed, as necessary iteratively, based on one or more subsidiary functions. The log values of the set remaining after identification and removal of values are designated as texture. Functions indicative of the main and subsidiary layer features and the texture are used to construct a synthesised volume representing the rock removed during creation of the chosen length of the borehole.
