    摘要: A graphical user interface (GUI) and control system for controlling and testing an acoustic source. The control system includes real-time data processing of individual source near-field measured signatures and synthesis of array far-field signatures. The control system determines individual source out-of-specification conditions and computes far-field signatures based on an array configuration and, when applicable, excluding failed sources. Source, array, and troubleshooting information are presented to a user in real-time over a GUI monitor to allow informed decision-making regarding continued and/or modified survey operations and operational parameters.

    摘要: Force-balance feedback geophone apparatus and methods for characterization of the geophone apparatus. Control inputs (65) provide for switching (61, 63) of a force-balance feedback geophone between operational states, thereby allowing for in situ determination of geophone characteristics. Feedback circuit modification provides for increased bandwidth and a series RC circuit in the reference resistance provides for increased damping without significantly affecting low frequency performance.

    摘要: The invention pertains to sonar receive arrays. More particularly, the invention pertains to a process for calibrating the amplitude, position and phase angle of an array of underwater receive hydrophones (14) with respect to one another. The process requires projecting an acoustic test signal at a known frequency from a towed underwater acoustic projector (4) toward an array of towed, underwater, interconnected, receive hydrophones (14); detecting and determining the response of the receive hydrophones (14) to said test signal by signal processing means; and calibrating at least one parameter for the operation of the receive hydrophones (14) resulting from the response. Calibrated parameters include the amplitude, position and phase angle of the receive hydrophones relative to one another.

    摘要: A calibration fixture for an MWD logging tool consists of a plurality of concentric co-planar conductive calibration loops (22, 24), mounted on a carrier disk of insulate material (16). The disk positions the calibration loops around the logging tool mandrel coaxially. The logging tool supports conventional transmitter(s) and receiver(s). The calibration loops are terminated with a multiple-tap impedance quantizer (34) for discretely varying the impedance of the calibration loops. When a transmitter is activated to emit an electromagnetic signal, the calibration loops are excited to re-radiate a portion of that signal into the receivers with an intensity that is a function of the loop impedance thereby to simulate the effects of formations having known resistivities.

    摘要: In a two-channel magnetic metal detector having first and second mutually inductively coupled detection coils (10, 12) connected to first and second detection channels (14, 16), respectively, the inductance of the coils (10, 12) is tested by applying a square wave test signal to the first detection coil (10) and determining if the resulting output signal (CH1) from the second detection channel (16) has a magnitude falling within a range of magnitudes defined by two threshold values stored in a non-volatile memory (E 2 PROM). A microcomputer (42) applies digital signals (DATA) to a digital to analog converter (44) to generate the square wave. The output signal (CH1) from the second detection channel (16) is repetitively sampled and digitized and the digital values (DATA) are transferred to the microcomputer (42) which includes means (66, 68) for comparing the digital values (DATA) with the threshold values. If a comparison determines that the magnitude of the output signal (CH1) from the second detection channel (16) does not fall within the range of magnitudes defined by the threshold values, the microcomputer (42) generates an error indication.

    摘要: A calibration fixture for an MWD logging tool consists of a plurality of concentric co-planar conductive calibration loops are mounted around the logging tool mandrel coaxially with the usual transmitter(s) and receivers that are mounted on the tool. The calibration loops are terminated with a multiple-tap impedance quantizing means for discretely varying the impedance of the calibration loops. When a transmitter is activated to emit an electromagnetic signal, the calibration loops are excited to reradiate a portion of that signal into the receivers with an intensity that is a function of the loop impedance thereby to simulate the effects of formations having known resistivities.

    摘要: In a two-channel magnetic metal detector (32) for a forage harvester (10), positive and negative adaptive detection thresholds (71, 73) are varied according to long term changes in the noise component induced in detection coils (40, 42) by moving ferrous parts of the crop feed mechanism. The adaptive detection thresholds (71, 73) are set at levels determined by the positive and negative peak averages of the noise components in the channels (CH0, CH1) while the crop feed mechanism (18, 20-22) is running at normal speed. Start-up transient noise induced in the detection coils (40, 42) as the crop feed mechanism accelerates may exceed the adaptive thresholds (71, 73) as thus set, thereby triggering false indications that a tramp metal object has been detected in the crop feed path. At start-up of the crop feed mechanism, the detection thresholds are raised to prevent false indications. An increase in a channel noise signal is taken as an indication that the crop feed mechanism (18, 20-22) is accelerating. The detection thresholds are then raised to a level (79, 81) above any transient noise level expected during acceleration of the crop feed mechanism. After a predetermined time (T1-T2) sufficient for the feed mechanism to reach normal operating speed, the detection thresholds are set at their adaptive detection levels (71, 73).

    摘要: A metal detector comprises a detection coil (12) disposed in a magnetic field, the ends of the coil (12) being connected through a balanced resistor network (20) to the inputs (21, 23) of a differential amplifier (22). A test signal is injected into the metal detector at a point such that the coil (12) is effectively in series with one branch of the balanced resistor network (20). The injected signal produces a potential difference at the inputs (21, 23) of the differential amplifier (20), the magnitude of the potential difference being dependent on the resistance (R c ) of the detection coil (12). The test signal is generated by a circuit including a microcomputer (42) which successively feeds digital values corresponding to the sine function to a digital-to-analog converter (44), so that the converter generates the test signal in the form of a sine wave. The output signal (CH1) from the differential amplifier (22) is applied to an analog-to-digital converter (40). The microcomputer (42) controls the analog-to-digital converter (40) to repetitively sample the output signal (CH1) from the amplifier (22) and convert each sample to a digital value. The digital values are compared with two threshold values corresponding to the maximum and minimum values the amplifier output signal (CH1) may have when the coil resistance (R c ) is within an acceptable range and when the amplifier output signal (CH1) exceeds the maximum or is less than the minimum value, an error indication is produced.

    摘要: The proposal is for a process for testing a sensor system consisting of a Hall sensor with a digital signal output (20) and a control magnet movable in relation thereto and a Hall sensor as a device for implementing the process. To this end, the magnetic flux density is detected and assessed via an additional analog signal output (19) of the Hall sensor. Besides the digital position signals it is thereby possible by means of a single sensor to achieve self-checking on whether the distance between the Hall sensor and the control magnet is correct and whether digital position signals can still be expected to be reliably generated.
