Abstract: There is proposed a method of seismic prospecting in an aquatic medium with the aid of a device comprising at least one seismic cable furnished with sensors and at least one mobile seismic source. The method comprises the unfurling of the cable in the water, constrained by a value of maximum curvature of track in the water and by a maximum value of deviation with respect to a desired course in the terrestrial reference frame, the course being subject to a maximum value of speed with respect to the terrestrial reference frame. The method comprises, simultaneously, the displacement of the seismic source in a reference frame tied to the cable and the emission of waves by the seismic source, the waves being reflected by the aquatic bottom and sensed by the cable. Such a method makes it possible in particular to obtain a good seismic density above a field under investigation during seismic prospecting, with lower motorization loads and lower stresses exerted on the cable.

Title: Electromagnetic field applicator array with integral field sensors for implicit correction of mutual coupling and mismatch
Inventor: CAPSTICK MYLES
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 2011-09-06
Abstract: The invention concerns a system for producing specific field distributions in a defined volume or region. The system comprises an array of electromagnetic field generating elements each with an integrated sensor for measuring the phase and amplitude of the current flowing in a metallic element (antenna or coil) or field in a slot based element, a measurement device to enable measurement of both phase and amplitude of the electrical signals from the sensors with sufficient dynamic range for quantification of the signal, a multi channel radio frequency power source with individually controllable amplitude and phase to excite each of the electromagnetic field generating elements, and a feedback controller enabling controlled adjustment of the amplitude and phase of the radio frequency power source based on the signals from the sensors. The system controls the outputs of a multi channel radio frequency power source such that the current in a metallic or the field in a slot based electromagnetic field generating elements provide the desired electromagnetic field values and the superposition of the fields produced by each electromagnetic field generating element produces said specific electromagnetic field distribution in said defined volume or region. As the signal picked up by each sensor is directly related to the phase and amplitude of the current or field in the associated electromagnetic field generating element and hence the electromagnetic field generated by the array elements, where the current or field measured is the sum of both the applied (from the radio frequency power source) and secondary excitations from mutual coupling and reflections hence the measured value represents the ideal excitation in the absence of mutual coupling, reflections and mismatch. The feedback controller modifies the direct excitation such that the total excitation is the ideal array excitation without coupling or mismatch. The invention implicitly corrects for the coupling and mismatch without explicit knowledge of, and calculation based on, the mutual coupling and mismatch, termed the coupling matrix, such that changes in the coupling matrix due to presence of objects or changes thereof are inherently taken into account. Additionally, by sequentially exciting each element in turn the invention can directly determine the exact mutual coupling matrix of the array even in the presence of variations in source impedance and undefined cable lengths such that initial excitation amplitudes and phases can be calculated to allow rapid adjustment to the desired values. A particular application of interest is in radio frequency hyperthermia applicator systems.
