Ubiterra Assigned Patent

Ubiterra Corporation, Denver, CO, has been assigned a patent (9,182,913) developed by Flanagan, Peter W., Denver, CO, for an “apparatus, system and method for the efficient storage and retrieval of three-dimensionally organized data in cloud-based computing architectures.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A cloud-based storage system and methods for uploading and accessing 3-D data partitioned across distributed storage nodes of the system. The data cube is processed to identify discrete partitions thereof, which partitions may be organized according to the x, (e.g., inline), y, (e.g., crossline) and/ or z, (e.g., time) aspects of the cube. The partitions are stored in unique storage nodes associated with unique keys. Sub-keys may also be used as indexes to specific data values or collections of values, (e.g., traces) within a partition. Upon receiving a request, the proper partitions and values within the partitions are accessed, and the response may be passed to a renderer that converts the values into an image displayable at a client device. The request may also facilitate data or image access at a local cache, a remote cache, or the storage partitions using location, data, retrieval, and/or rendering parameters.“

The patent application was filed on October 17, 2012 (13/654,316).
