Abstract:
The present invention provides an interactive system for controlling seismic data acquisition. A central controller controls seismic sources, detectors and receivers. A user/operator is provided one or more views of the operational components over a graphical user interface and is provided software to change parameters associated with the components. A second controller might be located in a seismic source vehicle. There exists two-way data and audio communication between the two controllers for providing dual control of the system. A field operator, relays information to and receives information from the central operator and controller. Together, the operators make decisions for selecting and operating system components.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A diagnostic tool includes a sensor for capturing at least one biosignal produced by a patient's heart and a computer device that implements a neural network iteratively trained via machine learning to generate a prediction about a heart condition of the patient. After the neural network is trained, the computer device can convert the at least one biosignal to a multi-dimensional input matrix for the deep neural network generated from a number (N) of biosignals captured by the sensor. The computer device then processes the multi-dimensional input matrix through the deep neural network, which subsequently outputs the prediction about the heart condition of the patient.
Abstract:
The present invention, in certain embodiments, is a method, system and apparatus for information gathering, for example seismic data acquisition operations or utility services monitoring for homes, businesses and municipalities, using a wireless network with a virtual enabling data communication and storage over multiple environments, hardware systems and time frames. This WAN platform is capable of handling all communications for a seismic field crew or other information gathering organization. The invention provides near real-time dissemination of data across a mobile network to a destination system.
Abstract:
A seismic data acquisition apparatus having a recorder co-located with a sensor unit in a seismic spread and a communication device for direct communication with a central recorder. A memory located in the recorder and/or in the central controller holds location parameters associated with the sensor unit, and the parameters can be updated. Methods of seismic data acquisition including sensing seismic energy and recording the sensed energy at the sensor location. Delivering the recorded information to a central recorder by manually retrieving removable memory from each recorder, by wireless transmission of the information, or by removing the information from each recorder by inductive or cable connectors and a transfer device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an underwater cable arrangement includes an underwater cable having one or more external devices mounted on the cable. In one form of the invention, the external devices are powered primarily or entirely by inductive coupling between a coil disposed in the cable and a coil disposed in the external device. The invention also provides a variety of external devices capable of use with an underwater cable. The invention further provides a coil support arrangement for supporting a coil within an underwater cable in a manner protecting a core of the coil from damage.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus of acquiring and processing seismic data. One or more controllers are each coupled to seismic sensors at to each other to form a line of data acquisition units. A main controller is coupled to a crossover line unit and to a power supply. Power and data control is distributed among the main controller, the crossover line controller, and each of the plurality of data acquisition units.
