Patents by Inventor Bruce MATTOCKS

Bruce MATTOCKS has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9116256
    Abstract: Apparatus, computer instructions and method for processing seismic data related to a subsurface of a body of water. The method includes receiving input data for a vertical direction and radial direction and/or from a hydrophone, applying a radon transform to the input data, separating primary signals from ghosts signals based on the vertical and radial components, applying an inverse radon transform to determine up-going and down-going wave fields in a time-distance domain, and separating interfering up-going and down-going wave fields that are recorded by the same receivers.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140297193
    Abstract: Methods and systems for shallow shear-wave splitting analysis using receiver functions of seismic data are described. Radial and transverse receiver functions are calculating by, for example, performing cross-correlations of vertical component data with radial component data and vertical component data with transverse component data, respectively. The receiver functions are then used to determine orientation and other characteristics associated with shear waves passing through an azimuthally anisotropic layer.
