  • Publication number: 20240065672
    Abstract: An acoustic coupling device includes a base tape member having a hole, and a sensor side and a skin side each having an adhesive material thereon. The device further includes a tray removably attached to cover the skin side of the base tape member. The tray includes an indentation, which defines a concave face facing the hole, and a flat portion surrounding the indentation. The device further includes an ultrasound transferring gel disposed in the indentation, and a removable protective liner configured to cover the sensor side of the base tape member.

  • Patent number: 9310505
    Abstract: A technique includes providing a source in a first well and a seismic receiver in a second well to detect a seismic event that is caused by the source. The technique includes referencing clocks in the source and receiver to a common reference time frame and determining a time in the reference time frame at which the seismic source generates the seismic event.

  • Patent number: 7565927
    Abstract: An explosive device includes a housing, and at least one of an initiator and an explosive in the housing. The at least one of the initiator and explosive are activatable in response to stimulus from a control line. A monitor in the housing monitors a state of the stimulus to enable determination of a status of the explosive device.

  • Patent number: 5886429
    Abstract: A computer controllable testing and monitoring station forms short-term intervals of simulated alternating current power level disturbance, either undervoltage (sag) or overvoltage (swell). The station forms the short term voltage sags or swells so that their effects on sensitive equipment can be measured. The starting point of the sag or swell disturbance, as well as the time duration of the disturbance, can be accurately controlled.
