The present invention provides time released markers for use with single reservoir and commingled wells. The invention accomplishes the time release of markers by coating or encapsulating marker particles or by coating a proppant which has been saturated with a marker. After coating or encapsulation, the marker is injected into a well as is known in the art. The marker remains in the well. The marker is released after an elapsed of time. The elapsed time can be in a wide range. After the elapsed time, production is taken from the well and tested for the presence of the marker. Various types of known analyses can be performed to test for the presence and concentration of the marker in the production fluid. The concentration of the marker in the production fluid allows the apportioning of production from the reservoir. In addition, different markers may be added to each zone within a reservoir where each marker has a different elapsed time increment. The zones can be any different layer or area in the reservoir such as different strata or layer of rock, limestone or sand. Differing marker combinations allow contribution from different zones to be monitored over an extended time.

The invention relates to a driving assistance system and a real-time warning and prompting method for a vehicle. Image data of collected targets in front of a current vehicle is collected through an image collection module, then, a lane target in the image data is recognized by a traffic target recognition submodule, a region of interest is marked out according to the recognized lane target, and the region of interest is served as a key recognized target; and the image collection module is controlled by a data processing module to take a lane corresponding to the region of interest as an image collection target. Therefore, after the region of interest is mainly detected, the image collection module is capable of collecting image data required by a user more in time without collecting all forward data, therefore not only is collection capacity of the image collection module lowered but also data processing capacity of the data processing module is reduced, so that calculation amount of the whole system is reduced, calculation speed is accelerated, and warning response time is shortened.

The presence or absence of objects is determined by interrogating or exciting transponders coupled to the objects using pulsed wide band frequency signals. Interrogation is broken down into a number of subsample scan cycles each having interrogation cycles a start time forward in time by a fraction of a period of an expected transponder response signal. Ambient or background noise is evaluated and a threshold adjusted based on the level of noise. Adjustment may be based on multiple noise measurements or samples. Noise detection may be limited, with emphasis placed on interrogation to increase the signal to noise ratio. Matched filtering may be employed. Presence/absence determination may take into account frequency and/or Q value to limit false detections. Appropriate acts may be taken if detected noise is out of defined limits of operation, for example shutting down interrogation and/or providing an appropriate indication.
