摘要:
A sensor system for a seismograph functions as a hybrid between a digital sensor and an analog sensor. The sensor system has an analog output combined with digital information about the sensor. The sensor system uses both an analog section and a digital section to provide information to a collection device. The digital section can provide digital information regarding the operation of the sensor(s) of the sensor system. After the digital section completes the exchange of digital information, the digital section can be deactivated and the analog section can be used to provide analog sensor information to the collection device. The collection device can use the digital information from the digital section to process the analog sensor information from the analog section.

Apparatus and methods for acquiring seismic data using a seabed seismic data cable positioned on a seabed are described, including correcting for the effect of one or more sensor non-linear motions, which improves accuracy of seismic data. One or multiple non-linear movements of the sensor may be corrected for. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
摘要:
A seismic streamer includes a sensor comprises an axially oriented body including a plurality of axially oriented channels arranged in opposing pairs; a plurality of hydrophones arranged in opposing pairs in the channels; a pair of orthogonally oriented acoustic particle motion sensors; and a tilt sensor adjacent or associated with the particle motion sensors. The streamer has a plurality of hydrophones, as previously described, aligned with a plurality of accelerometers which detect movement of the streamer in the horizontal and vertical directions, all coupled with a tilt sensor, so that the marine seismic system can detect whether a detected seismic signal is a reflection from a geologic structure beneath the streamer or a downward traveling reflection from the air/seawater interface.

In some embodiments, apparatus and systems, as well as methods, may operate to shift signal data associated with a set of receivers, in time or phase with respect to signal data associated with a receiver reference point, to transform the signal data into shifted data, wherein the signal data corresponds to energy waves propagated through a geological formation before being received by the set of receivers; to multiply the shifted data by a complex conjugate of the signal data associated with the receiver reference point to provide differential phase values; to sum and average the differential phase values to provide differential phase semblance values; and to publish the differential phase semblance values, or information derived from the differential phase semblance values to one of a storage medium, a hardcopy printout, or a display. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Systems, apparatuses and methods for digital compensation for total harmonic distortion in a displacement sensor. The methods can include determining a total harmonic distortion compensation function for a displacement sensor; using the displacement sensor to measure a displacement by generating an output signal with total harmonic distortion; digitizing the distorted output signal to generate distorted output data; applying the total harmonic distortion compensation function to the distorted output data to generate undistorted output data; and outputting the undistorted output data.

An illustrative geophone with tunable resonance frequency includes a first inductive assembly including an inductive coil having a first magnet arranged therein, wherein the first magnet and the first inductive coil move relative to each other, and a second inductive assembly including a second inductive coil having a second magnet arranged therein, wherein the second magnet and the second inductive coil move relative to each other. A coupling element couples a movable element of the first inductive assembly with a moveable element of the second inductive assembly. The first inductive assembly employs tunable damping to modify a resonant frequency of the second inductive assembly.
