The two mutually-insulated wires are wrapped around and covered by a silicone shroud. They constitute a sensing cable. A termination matching impedance is connected to one end of each of the two mutually-insulated wires. A time domain reflectometry measurement instrument is connected to the other end of the two mutually-insulated wires. The present disclosure implements a distributed positioning and measurement of rock-soil mass deformation.

摘要： Propagation of ultrasound through a porous body saturated with liquid generates electric response. This electro-acoustic effect is called “seismoelectric current”, whereas reverse version, when electric field is driving force, is “electroseismic current”. It is possible to measure seismoelectric current with existing electro-acoustic devices, which had been designed for characterizing liquid dispersions. Such versatility allows calibration of said devise using dispersion and then applying it for characterizing porous body. In general, magnitude of seismoelectric current depends on porosity, pore size, zeta potential of pore surfaces and elastic properties of matrix. It is possible to adjust conductivity of liquid for simplifying these dependences. For instance, liquid with high ionic strength causes double layers become thin comparing to the pore size, which eliminates dependence of said currents on pore size. We suggest using such case for characterizing porosity. Magnitude of the said currents is proportional to zeta potential. This parameter can be calculated when porosity is known. In contrary, saturation of porous body with low conducting liquid leads to complete overlap of double layers, which can be used for characterizing pore size. Phase of the said currents can be used for determining iso-electric point because it rotates 180 degrees when liquid composition varies through this point.

摘要： Methods for processing magnetotelluric signals to identify subterranean deposits are provided for. The methods comprise obtaining magnetotelluric data from an area of interest. The magnetotelluric data comprises the amplitude of magnetotelluric signals recorded over time at defined locations in the area of interest. The data for each location then is filtered through a set of frequency filters. The frequencies of the frequency filters correspond to subterranean depths over a range of interest. Amplitude peaks in the filtered data then are identified and analyzed to determine a value correlated to the resistance of the earth at each frequency at each location. The resistance values are indicative of the presence or absence of deposits at the corresponding subterranean depth. Preferably, the amplitude data is power normalized across all locations in the survey, a gain factor is applied to the resistance values to scale the values for depth variation, and the resistance values are displayed as a depth-location plot for interpretation. The amplitude peaks may be analyzed by a number of different statistical approaches. For example, a subset of the peaks falling within defined thresholds or bins within such thresholds may be analyzed, and it has been observed that accurate relative resistivity values may be derived based on the number of peaks, the amplitudes of those peaks, or a combination thereof. Alternate embodiments comprise obtaining magnetotelluric data sampled over relatively long periods of time at defined locations in the area of interest. The magnetotelluric data for each location is then filtered through a set of frequency filters and analyzed to determine a value correlated to the resistance of the earth at each frequency at each location.

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.
