Title: Underwater seismic testing
Inventor: NEWMAN PAUL
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 1984-08-22
Abstract: A method of underwater seismic testing is disclosed which does not require the use of long hydrophone streamers and which dispenses with the conventional CDP stack technique. The method enables signal processing to commence as soon as the first shot has been fired. The method involves traversing the region of interest with a survey vessel while firing a single seismic source repeatedly and observing the sub-sea response to the repeated shots using a single seismic receiver to provide thereby single-trace data which is then processed in conjunction with data relating to the seismic velocity distribution in the region of interest to generate the required sub-sea geological data. The signal processing may be effected in two stages, the first being deconvolution and the second being "3-D" imaging, preferably using the Kirchoff integral formulation. The seismic velocity distribution in the region of interest has to be obtained in advance by another method, e.g. conventional CDP profiling.

Title: Method of making coal briquettes and briquettes so made
Inventor: TIDDY PATRICK JOHN
IPC: C10L5/30
Filed: 1985-03-13
Abstract: A known way of making coal briquettes includes the steps of mixing coal powder with a carbon- based binder and shaping the mixture, heating the shaped mixture to carbonise the binder and then applying water to prevent the briquette so formed from igniting. In order to increase the cohesion of the briquette during burning and thus reduce the loss of unburned carbon in the ash-pan, an aqueous solution of a salt such as sodium silicate and/or sodium borate is applied to the briquette, instead of water, and is absorbed by voids in the briquette.

Title: Imaging system
Inventor: RUSHBROOKE DR JOHN GORDON
IPC: H04N5/353
Filed: 1986-03-25
Abstract: A moving object such as a container 10 on a conveyor belt 12 is imaged by an optical system 16 onto a CCD array 18 in which the lines of the array are arranged perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object. The speed of movement of the object is sensed to generate electrical signals which are processed to provide shift signals enabling the shifting of data row to row in the array in synchronism with the movement of the container. The electrical charge associated with a given point on the array is transferred from one line to the other until it appears at the last line of the array, from which it is read out in known manner in conjunction with all other electrical charges associated with the row of charge coupled devices in the last line of the array. Due to the integrating effect achieved, the aperture of the imaging system can be much smaller than otherwise would be required, and/or the level of light illumination can be reduced. The imaging system can be applied to X-ray inspection devices, aerial surveillance or scanning of moving documents is copying processes. <IMAGE>

Title: Sea motion following means
Inventor: NIKOLAUS HEINRICH W
IPC: B66C13/02
Filed: 1986-05-01
Abstract: A hydraulic drive arrangement, for example a hydraulic cylinder 20 or hydrostatic engine or machine, is driven by a cable 15 to which a floating body 30 is secured. The motion of the sea causes the floating body 30 to set the cable 15 in reciprocating motion and to drive the drive arrangement which acts as a pump and conveys working medium to a pressure network. Furthermore, the drive arrangement can be used to drive a winch or capstan by following of the motion of the sea. The load, to be taken up for example by a ship, is raised and lowered via the cable 15 by the drive arrangement synchronously with the motion of the sea without having to use energy from an external drive for this purpose. With this sea motion following arrangement it is thus possible to generate energy in a simple manner and to drive a winch drum 25 synchronously with the wave motion. <IMAGE>
