    摘要: A wireless seismic data acquisition unit with a wireless receiver providing access to a common remote time reference shared by a plurality of wireless seismic data acquisition units in a seismic system. The receiver is capable of replicating local version of remote time epoch to which a seismic sensor analog-to-digital converter is synchronized. The receiver is capable of replicating local version of remote common time reference for the purpose of time stamping local node events. The receiver is capable of being placed in a low power, non-operational state over periods of time during which the seismic data acquisition unit continues to record seismic data, thus conserving unit battery power. The system implements a method to correct the local time clock based on intermittent access to the common remote time reference. The method corrects the local time clock via a voltage controlled oscillator to account for environmentally induced timing errors. The invention further provides for a more stable method of correcting drift in the local time clock.

    摘要: Methods and systems for synchronizing clocks used in underwater devices is described. All clocks have some drift due to frequency accuracy and this disclosure provides a method for periodically synchronizing clocks to an accurate master clock to remove long term drift. A synchronization device can use an accurate clock and hardware to transmit both a sound wave and light pulse at the same point in time. Remote slave clocks can detect the light first, and later the sound, allowing them to calculate the distance the pulse had to travel. The clocks can then synchronize their time to the master clock canceling out any drift. The synchronization device can be packaged in a waterproof housing and can be moved around on a periodic basis between the clock on an underwater robot or any other means.

    摘要: A method controls a delay of an air-gun (310) in an aquatic seismic source (300) during an aquatic seismic survey. The method includes a step of receiving an attribute of the air-gun (310) during the aquatic seismic survey, wherein the attribute is indicative of an asynchronization time of the air-gun (310); a step of calculating, based on a time-delay algorithm that uses the attribute, the asynchronization time of the air-gun (310), wherein the asynchronization time is a time difference between (i) a desired time when the air-gun (310) is expected to fire and (ii) an actual time when the air-gun (310) actually fires; a step of determining whether the asynchronization time is smaller than a given time threshold; a step of instructing a controller (340) to (1) wait for a predetermined time before calculating again the asynchronization time of the air-gun (310) if the asynchronization time is smaller than the given time threshold, or (2) calculate an updated asynchronization time for the air-gun (310) based on the attribute if the asynchronization time is larger than the given time threshold; and a step of sending the updated asynchronization time to a gun controller (360) of the air-gun (310) for adjusting a delay time for firing the air-gun (310).

    摘要: A network system capable of suppressing system scale is provided and such a system can be used even for an ad-hoc type system. The network system enables synchronization of a sensor node 1 with other sensor nodes 1 in measured time. Each sensor node 1 uses time-series data that is repeatedly transferred among the sensor nodes 1 existing on the network to calculate an average time measured by timers 14 of other sensor nodes 1 existing on the network and sets the time of the timer 14 of the own sensor node 1 to the average time.

    摘要: The present invention permits RMS traveltime error in a seismic data acquisition to be minimized. Field measurements of source and receiver coordinates, speed of sound in water as a function of depth and time, receiver timing, and clock drift are first collected. The seismic data is then examined to measure travel time from each source to each reciever. A model travel time can then be computed based on the field measurements. By iteratively perturbing at least one of the field measured data using a look-up table and calculating the travel time after each perturbation until an acceptable RMS error has been achieved, conditioned seismic data that takes into account the dynamic nature of the water column will provide the basis for creating an accurate seismic map that is unaffected by the changing water conditions.
