摘要： An anti-bounce device for avoiding the multiple shocks of a moving mass after a first impact against another element. Magnetic arrangements are associated with element for exerting an attractive force on the mass sufficient to prevent possible bouncing. These arrangements comprise, for example electromagnets and circuits for connecting the electromagnets to a current source via a switch. Permanent magnets may also be associated therewith. The direction of the electric current is then chosen so that the electromagnetic forces developed are added to the attractive forces of the permanent magnets or else for cancelling these latter out, which allows the mass to be released.

摘要： An electromechanical device for generating elastic waves in a material medium such as the subsoil in a frequency range where the wavelengths of the waves generated are great in view of the dimensions of the device, and method of implementation. The device comprises one or more vibrators which are buried in the medium, associated with a control system. Each vibrator comprises at least one inertia mass (1), several plates (2, 3) providing mechanical coupling with the medium, electromechanical transducers (4, 5) connecting inertia masses (1) to plates (2, 3).

摘要： The invention relates to a device for seismic emission in an underground formation, comprising one or more vibrators of any type, and to a method of implementing same. In a preferred embodiment, each vibrator comprises at least one pillar (1) of sensitive elements (e.g. piezoelectric type) which is disposed between two end plates or horns (2, 3) and a signal generator which applies vibratory signals at the pillar. Said pillar (1) is encased in a protective sleeve (4) and the vibrator is positioned in a pit or cavity (W) and embedded in a mass of solid coupling material (7) which is in contact with the protective sleeve (4) and with the two end plates (2, 3) on at least one part of each of the respective faces thereof and which connects the vibrator to the surrounding formation. Several of such vibrators can be buried at intervals from one another in the pit. By triggering the aforementioned vibrators in sequence with the desired delays, it is possible to intensify the waves emitted by the device in a preferred direction. The invention is suitable, for example, repeated seismic monitoring of an underground deposit being mined.

摘要： A method and device for seismic exploration of a subsea geologic formation by pickups set on the sea bottom and intermittently connectable to active data acquisition stations (11) brought nearby. Permanent passive reception stations (1) comprising a heavy pedestal provided with housings for seismic pickups (geophones (6), hydrophone (7) which receive acoustic or seismic signals from the underlying formation are arranged at the bottom of the water body. When collection sessions for the signals received by the pickups are scheduled, mobile active acquisition stations (11) connected to permanent passive reception stations (1) are positioned at the bottom of the water body. The signals picked up are then recorded, for the time required to carry out at least one session of acquisition and recording of the acoustic or seismic signals received by the passive stations in response to the emission of seismic waves by one or more seismic sources. The mobile active acquisition stations (11) are thereafter recovered at the surface and the records acquired by each one are transferred to a central collection laboratory.

摘要： Compact vibrator for emitting elastic waves in a material medium such as the subsoil. The vibrator comprises a baseplate (3) intended to be coupled in operation with a surface of this medium, an inertia mass (5) and at least a pair of electromechanical transducers (1, 2) comprising each one or more pillars (A, B) made for example of a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive material. Pillars (A) of first transducer (1) are interposed between baseplate (3) and a relay plate (4). Pillars (B) of the second transducer are interposed between relay plate (4) and inertia mass (5), on the same side of relay plate (4) as pillars (A) preferably, so that inertia mass (5) is positioned in the vicinity of baseplate (3), which contributes to the compactness and to the stability of the vibrator that can therefore be used on slightly sloping surfaces. An excitation generator (6) comprising phase shifting means (7) respectively applies to transducers (A, B) phase-shifted signals that are amplitude-modulable, so that their vibrations combine. The vibrator can be applied: notably for equipping an underground zone under development with periodic seismic monitoring means or for carrying out seismic prospecting operations.

摘要： The present invention is a system permanently installing measuring sondes against the inner wall of a pipe (1) such as a well or a tube. Measuring sondes (8) are respectively associated with coupling devices (2) that are brought to their coupling points in the pipe by means of an elongate support element (3) such as a cable or a tube. Each coupling device (2) comprises a deformable element (6) made of a shape-memory alloy that is deformed in order to allow displacement thereof along the pipe, and that is brought back to its expanded (convex) shape for example by means of a hot fluid stream that is injected in the pipe by means of a pump (P). In this expanded position, it immobilizes coupling device (2) and presses the sonde (8) against pipe (1) while mechanically decoupling the sonde from support element (3). The support element may be withdrawn if not serving another purpose.

摘要： A system intended for permanent installation of measuring sondes against the inner wall of a pipe (1) such as a well or a tube. Measuring sondes (7) are respectively associated with coupling devices (2) that are brought to their respective coupling points in the pipe by means of a tube (3) positioned by off-centering devices (4) for example. Each coupling device (2) comprises a flexible element (6) carrying sonde (7), that is deformed to a set back position where it is immobilized by a lock (9) so as to allow displacement thereof along pipe (1). In order to release flexible blades (6), a sufficient overpressure allowing to push back the piston of a jack (10) whose cylinder communicates at one end with the inside of pipe (1) is established. In this expanded position, it immobilizes coupling device (2) and presses sonde (7) against pipe (1) while mechanically decoupling it from tube (3). Tube (3) can possibly be withdrawn if it does not serve another purpose. The system can be applied to long-time (notably seismic) monitoring of an underground zone under development; the tube used for putting the sondes into place can be a production tubing.

摘要： An elastic force generated by a volume of compressed gas in a chamber (7b) of a cavity (7) interior to the body of a well tool (1), acting on a piston (8), is used to open arms (4) intended to anchor the tool to the wall of a well (2). In order to close them, an opposed hydraulic force generated by a pump (13) driven by an electric motor (14) is applied intermittently, which brings piston (8) back to a recoil position. Piston (8) is coupled hydraulically with the cylinders of jacks (5, 6) acting on arms (4). A sufficient elastic force can thus be generated under a very low volume and the characteristics thereof can be readily changed by acting on the gas injection pressure and/or the extent of the dead volume when piston (8) is in a recoil position. Such device can be used for coupling sondes in wellbores for seismic prospecting for example.
