Abstract: The maximum output of a seismic source array (110) may be reduced by activating the individual seismic sources (112) within these seismic source array in a pattern that is extended in time rather than by the presently employed conventional simultaneous activation of a large number of individual seismic sources. Methods are disclosed which take data shot with patterned sources and may use a sparse inversion method to create data with the about same image quality as that of conventional sources. In this manner the output of the maximum impulse of a seismic source array may be reduced by an amplitude factor of about 10 in the examples shown here, corresponding to a reduction of about 20 dB while maintaining virtually the same seismic image quality. The disclosed methods may be used in combination with any simultaneous sourcing technique. In addition, the disclosed methods may be used with a plurality of source arrays.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for triggering an information dependent mass spectrometry scan in real time. A mass spectrometry scan of a separating sample mixture is performed by a mass spectrometer at each time interval of a time period. The mass spectrometer receives the separating sample mixture from a separation device. It is determined at a certain time interval that a received mass spectrometry scan at the time interval and one or more preceding received mass spectrometry scans include two or more time-varying ion signals that represent two or more fragment ion transitions of a known compound. If a characteristic of the two or more time-varying ion signals meets a selection criterion, the mass spectrometer is instructed to perform a dependent mass spectrometry scan of the separating sample mixture for a precursor ion of the known compound at the time interval.
