Abstract: A hermaphroditic connector for a multiple conduit cable assembly comprises a cylindrical protective collar surrounding an inner cylindrical core. The collar is axially secured to the inner core but partially rotatable about the core. The distal end of the collar is formed to rotatively mesh with another collar of the same shape to mechanically secure a joint of two collars. Cable conduits enter the assembly through one axial end for electrical junction to terminals imbedded within the inner core. The terminals are functionally aligned with one of four parallel chord sections on the distal end-face of the inner core. The cross-sectional area of the inner core end-face is divided into two half-area sections; two parallel chord sections in each half-area section. The distal end-faces of the several chord sections are profiled to three, axially spaced, cross-sectional planes to axially mesh respective connector pins and sockets.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reducing ghosts from hydrophone signals in a streamer towed underwater close to the sea surface. A multi-axis micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) accelerometer with attitude sensing is used to reduce the frequency spectral notch in the response of the combined hydrophone-accelerometer system and to reduce the sensitivity to ghost-producing downward traveling acoustic waves that are sea-surface reflections of the primary upward traveling acoustic waves. Multi-axis spring load cells provide high compliance and mechanical isolation between stress members and the accelerometer system. The load cells also provide signals representing the vibration of the stress members. The signals can be used with an adaptive filter estimating the mechanical transfer function between the vibration and the motion of the accelerometer system to remove the vibration-induced noise from the accelerometer signals.
