摘要:
A process for optimizing the transmission rates of digitized signals on transmission lines in multifunction cables, such as logging cables linking well tools to surface installations. The process includes digitising of the data to be transmitted and coding thereof through voltages selected from a set of multilevel coding voltages (2 to 32 for example), and widening towards high frequencies of the passband of each transmission line used, by combination with correcting circuits selected so that the transfer function of the corrected line is substantially that of a filter of the Bessel type, at least in a given frequency range on either side of a 3-dB cut-off frequency fc which depends on the number of coding voltages and on the amplification parameters. Using this process makes it possible to exceed very easily a total flow rate higher than one Mbits/s without increasing the transmission error rate.
摘要:
In a multisource array of seismic sources, each source is associated with one or more sensors (Ci) for picking up the impulses (TB or signature) emitted by the associated source when triggered. The apparatus essentially includes one or more acquisition arrays (Ai), each one associated with a storage unit (Mi) for all the signals emitted by the pickups (Ci) under the control of a computer (10). Each memory unit includes a comparison module (19, 21, 22) for comparing the digitized samples with a threshold value. The number of each one of the channels where a threshold overrun has occurred is recorded in a reference register (24) which is systematically read by the computer. This monitoring of the level of the picked up signals is carried out outside the normal period where the sources are triggered.

Each source of an array of seismic signal sources is associated with one or several sensors (Ci) which pick up the impulses the associated source emits at the time of triggering. The device essentially includes an apparatus (6) for the acquisition and the storage of all the signals emitted by the sensors (Ci) and a shooting control apparatus (7), having memories for reference data, for triggering the seismic sources according to these reference data. A computer (10) is programmed to determine the reference data used for the triggering, preferable according to the signals from the sensors (Ci) acquired during the previous emission cycles and validated in order to check whether their form and/or arrival times are within fixed limits. This arrangement makes it possible to take into account the real working conditions of the emission array. The invention can be utilized in marine seismic prospecting.

A device is provided for interconnecting a series of data acquisition apparatuses. Each of the apparatuses collect signals and transmit them to a remote central receiving and recording system. In order to sequentially transmit the signals thereto on reception of an order from said central system, the apparatuses are subdivided into a plurality of groups having the same number m of apparatuses. The groups comprise cable sections of substantially equal length interconnecting the acquisition apparatuses in such a manner that the apparatuses of the same rank of each group are connected in parallel by the same transmission cable to the central system.

Monitoring of an underground effluent deposit (2) and the exploration thereof are performed by installing various devices or user modules : reception arrays (Ri, Rj, Rk) such as geophones or hydrophones, condition sensors (C1, C2) , tools requiring electric power supply, etc, in various locations along one or several wells (1) drilled down into a formation, behind well casings or in the annular space between these casings and tubings, and by connecting these devices to a surface station (4), by means of a particularly simple and reliable multi-channel transmission unit. The surface station adapts the commands thereof according to the device to be controlled in return, of receiving all the signals they transmit whether analog or digital and coded, and adapts to several modes of allocation of the transmission channels. With such a system, long-duration monitoring operations may be carried out on a large scale under satisfactory economic conditions.
