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.

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.

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly may include a projecting member or peg and a mounting member coupled to the projecting member or peg and configured to support a device (e.g., a seismic sensor) thereon. The coupling assembly may also include a bushing or sleeve adapted to connect to a mounting base and configured to include a cavity for receiving the projecting member or peg and an attachment assembly configured to releaseably secure the projecting member or peg within the cavity.

A coupling device is provided for a sensor unit having at least one sensor located within a housing. The coupling device includes at least one supporting portion, wherein the supporting portion is configured for maintaining the sensor unit in a stable position, with the coupling device either resting on or being buried into the ground, and at least one rod, arranged in a plane which is essentially perpendicular to a peripheral surface of the supporting portion and linked to the supporting portion. The coupling device further includes a fastener for connecting the sensor unit to the coupling device. The supporting portion maintains the sensor unit in a stable position when resting on the ground, while the rod provides an additional stiffness to the housing.

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.

A sensor flap for a downhole tool. The downhole tool is positionable in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The sensor flap includes a sensor housing and at least one sensor. The sensor housing is operatively connectable to the downhole tool. The sensor housing is movably positionable between a retracted position in the downhole tool and an extended position in contact with a wall of the wellbore. The sensor is positionable in the sensor housing, and may include a seismic detector to measure seismic activity when the sensor housing is in contact with the wall of the wellbore.

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.

Disclosed is a relocation detector mounted on an apparatus and configured to detect relocation of the apparatus and limit functions of the apparatus. The relocation detector includes a vibration power generation unit configured to convert a vibration to electrical energy. The relocation of the apparatus is detected by the electrical energy from the vibration power generation unit, which serves as a power source for the relocation detector, generated by the vibration of the apparatus.
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.

Disclosed is a system for surveying the structure beneath the seabed using a sub-bottom profiler. 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.
