摘要： A method of detecting precursor seismic electromagnetic waveforms and predicting future seismic activity in the form of an earthquake by placing a detector including a dielectric material in contact with the earth. The detector receives at the dielectric material precursor seismic electromagnetic waveforms traveling within the earth emanating from a region of seismic activity. A sensor responsive to the dielectric material senses a series of individual discrete signals imposed by the waveforms at the dielectric material wherein each of the signals has the characteristic of a rise time that is shorter than its fall time. Alternatively, the discrete signals may be a single discrete signal characterized by a plurality of overlapping waveforms. Then predicting based on the series of the signals the occurrence of the earthquake.

摘要： A method and apparatus for sensing one or more physical parameters, including acoustic waves having frequencies from approximately 0 Hz to 15 Hz, electromagnetic waves having frequencies from approximately 0 Hz through 35 Hz and seismic waves having frequencies from approximately 0 Hz through 15 Hz, and detecting precursor seismic activity indicated therein. Acoustic waves are sensed using an infrasonic transducer that produces an electrical signal representative of such waves. Electromagnetic waves are sensed using a suitable antenna, the antenna preferably comprising AC power lines. The antenna produces an electrical signal representative of such waves. Seismic waves are sensed using an accelerometer that produces an electrical signal representative of such waves. In one embodiment of the invention, the electrical signals are routed to a signal conditioning mechanism that converts the signals into detect signals suitable for detection of precursor seismic activity, the detect signals being, in turn, routed to a processing unit for detection of precursor seismic activity. In another embodiment, the electrical signal representative of the electromagnetic radiation is passed in parallel through a filter function to isolate one or more detect signals having predetermined bandwidths, and through a comparison function to produce a rejection signal that indicates the presence of noise. The isolated detect signals and rejection signal are provided to a processing unit for detection of precursor seismic activity, if any. An I/O stage alerts the user of any potentially impending earthquake, the I/O stage's alarms being triggered when precursor seismic activity is detected.
