Title: Data transfer
Inventor: PETER JOHN FRITH
IPC: H04S1/00
Filed: 2012-04-27
Abstract: Transfer of audio data for multiple audio channels over a single communications link such as a single wire. The audio data is preferably a plurality of 1-bit digital audio data streams (PDM-R, PDM-L). An audio system includes a pulse length modulator, PLM 103, to generate a stream of data pulses (MPDM) at regular intervals, where the length of each data pulse encodes the audio data. The length of each pulse may be dependent on a logical combination of the audio data from the multiple audio channels. For example, for two 1-bit audio channels representing left and right audio channels, there will be four possible logical combinations (00, 10, 01 & 11), which may each be encoded using a different pulse length. Preferably, the PLM is responsive to a clock signal having a frequency equal to a sample rate of the audio data streams and to a second clock signal having a frequency which is a multiple of the first clock signal. A data transfer system and audio interface circuitry for encoding the data is also disclosed.

Title: Surveying techniques using multiple different types of sources
Inventor: EDWIN HODGES
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2018-12-18
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to acquisition and imaging for marine surveys. In some embodiments, a transition survey that uses both one or more sources of a first type (e.g., impulsive sources) and one or more sources of a second type (e.g., vibratory sources) may facilitate calibration of prior surveys that use the first type of sources with subsequent surveys that use the second type of source. In some embodiments, the different types of sources may be operated simultaneously at approximately the same location. In some embodiments, signals generated by the sources are separated, e.g., using deconvolution. The signals may then be compared to generate difference information, which in turn may be used to adjust sensor measurements from a previous or subsequent survey. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may improve accuracy in images of geological formations and may facilitate transitions to new types of seismic sources while maintaining continuity in 4D surveys.
