    摘要: An unattended ground sensor unit (30) is disclosed comprising an antenna (2) which is accommodated mainly in a head portion (5) of the unit. The antenna (2) comprises a base conductor (100) and a top conductor (102), both of which are circular plates arranged in a horizontal plane. An antenna rod (204) is electrically connected to the top conductor (102). A hole is provided in the base conductor (100) and the antenna rod (204) extends through the hole to be connected to antenna control circuitry on a printed circuit board (104) on the reverse side of the base conductor (100). An insulating ring (106) is provided around the antenna rod (204) where it extends through the base conductor (100) so that the antenna (rod 204) is electrically insulated from the base conductor (100). Two shorting pins (205) are provided between the top conductor (102) and the base conductor (100). The shorting pins (20) are provided on diametrically opposite sides of the antenna rod (204). A dielectric spacer (202) is provided having a keying cutout (112) that can be engaged to resist its rotation.

    摘要: Power consumption of a seismic sensor is suppressed. The seismic sensor is operated in a power-saving mode and a measuring mode in which the power consumption is larger than that of the power-saving mode. The seismic sensor includes: a measuring part configured to measure an acceleration; an index calculator configured to transition from the power-saving mode to the measuring mode to calculate an index value indicating a size of an earthquake when the acceleration measured with the measuring part exceeds a first threshold; and a threshold adjuster configured to change the first threshold so as to increase the first threshold relative to a predetermined reference value when a tendency of the acceleration measured with the measuring part satisfies a predetermined condition.

    摘要: A dual core geophone includes a dual magnetic core packaged in a housing providing higher sensitivity and a reduction of electric wires in the device. The geophone includes a locking mechanism for the dual magnetic core to protect the device from strong vibrations when the device is not in use. A method for measuring acoustic vibrations in a downhole with a dual core geophone as above includes locking the dual magnetic core when the geophone is not detecting acoustic vibrations.

    摘要: An acoustic tool for evaluating a geologic formation includes a housing member disposed between transmitter and receiver sections of the acoustic tool. The housing member defines a change in direction in an acoustic path extending therethrough such that acoustic signals traveling through the housing member are delayed and disrupted. The delay and disruption may isolate the acoustic signals traveling through the housing member from acoustic signals traveling through the geologic formation. Thus, the acoustic tool may facilitate identification and evaluation of acoustic signals traveling through the geologic formation.

    摘要: Presented are systems and methods for deploying wireless data acquisition modules that facilitate autonomous initialization. The wireless data acquisition modules may initiate a initialization process in response to a stimulus associated with being deployed. The wireless data acquisition module may further conduct a neighbor discovery process and in turn establish a data transfer path among one or more other wireless data acquisition modules. Further, information obtained during a series of autonomous tests may be communicated during the neighbor discovery process and the establishment of the data transfer path may at least in part be based on the information obtained in the autonomous tests.

The system can include a survey vessel and a sub-bottom profiler mounted to travel with the survey vessel. The sub-bottom profiler can comprise a transmitter for transmitting pulses at a predetermined period between pulses towards the seabed, and a first receiver and a second receiver for receiving reflections from the seabed of each transmitted pulse. The system can also include that the transmitter and the first and second receivers are mounted along an axis in the direction of travel of the survey vessel and the transmitter is disposed between the first and second receivers and spaced from each of them by a predetermined separation.
