Title: Calculating a far-field signature of one or more vibratory seismic sources using the acceleration of a piston of the source to calculate a waveform.
Inventor: TEYSSANDIER BENOIT
IPC: G01H3/00
Filed: 2014-01-21
Abstract: Calculating a far-field signature 608 of one or more vibratory seismic sources comprises determining an absolute acceleration of a piston of the source while the source generates a seismic wave, and calculating the far-field waveform 602 at a given point away from the source. The far-field waveform may be cross-correlated 606 with a driving pilot signal 604 of the source to determine the far-field signature 608 of the source. The acceleration of the piston may be measured with at least one sensor that may have a component directly attached to the piston and a further component directly attached to a housing of the source, and may also include a Linear Variable Differential Transformer. Data may be recorded, deconvolved and an image of the subsurface may be displayed. The far-field waveform may be related to a sound pressure generated by the source and effects on the piston from neighbouring sources but not to sound pressures directly generated by neighbouring sources.

Title: Swatch
Inventor: DULLEY IAIN
IPC: G09F5/04
Filed: 2014-06-25
Abstract: A magnetic connector 10 for connecting together swatches 102 comprises a first engagement formation on one side, a second engagement formation on the other side and a magnet 106. At least parts of the first engagement formation and the second engagement formation are substantially complementary in shape. The swatches are substantially planar samples. The connector permits multiple swatches to be removably fastened with each other, to form custom sets of swatches. Generally, the shape of the engagement formations constrains in some way the relative movement of swatches with respect to each other. This may be to constrain it to rotational movement to permit the swatches to be fanned out. The connector may be adhered to the swatches, e.g. by an adhesive pad 104. Alternatively the connector may be formed in two parts with the swatch clamped between, e.g. the two parts being magnetic.
