Abstract: Secure transfer of electronic files containing confidential information is achieved by selecting and copying files to be transferred to an intended recipient and, prior to transfer, subjecting the copies to consolidation, compression, chunking and encryption. Decryption, unchunking and decompression of the transferred files can only be performed by a recipient who has also received a verification code, an encrypted and password protected sector file, and an encrypted password file. Decryption of the password file requires a private certificate available only to the intended recipient. Decryption of the other files requires a one-time random transaction password contained in the password file.

Abstract: A method for seismic surveying includes deploying a group of vertically sensitive seismic particle motion responsive sensors at each of a plurality of geodetic survey positions. The groups each include at least two sensors spaced apart by a first selected horizontal distance. The groups are separated from each other by a second selected distance larger than the first distance. Signals detected by each of the sensors resulting from actuation of a seismic energy source are recorded. At least one of an in-line and a cross-line component of a gradient of the vertical component of the seismic wavefield is determined at each group location by determining a difference between the signals detected by each sensor in a respective group.

Abstract: A watertight door system that provides for subdivision of cargo holds, and having a door frame assembly with a sliding door. Conveyor support stringers are movably connected to the sliding door and conveyor idlers are movably connected to and the conveyor support stringers. A linear actuator associated with the door frame assembly selectively actuates the door between an open and closed position, whereby actuation of the door by the hydraulic cylinder causes the conveyor support stringers to move with the door, and the conveyor idlers to be lowered without removal thereof. Belt side plugs are positioned on either side of the door frame assembly, and can move both inwardly against a conveyor belt edge and outwardly from the conveyor belt edge.

Abstract: Digital image storage and management systems capable of producing encrypted DICOM volumes on different types of media (e.g., Blu-ray, CD, DVD, memory stick, USB flash drive, etc.), with or without the automatic generation of labels, systems and mechanisms to generate and manage passwords for the encrypted volumes, and systems and mechanisms to manage access to encrypted data on such volumes are disclosed. Generated encrypted DICOM volumes, which can comprise confidential patient data, can be securely interchanged, archived, and distributed to users. The disclosed systems and methods can permit authorized users to access encrypted data, even if the users do not have access to the original encryption mechanism. Encrypted data stored on the volume can be easily and securely accessed by a variety of authorized users.

Abstract: A method for marine seismic surveying includes towing seismic sensors in a plurality of streamers in the water, actuating a seismic energy source in the water at selected times and detecting seismic signals at the sensors resulting from the actuation of the source. A data trace is created for each of the detected signals. At least one Fresnel zone is determined for at least some of the seismic data traces. A contribution of each of the traces to each one of a plurality of bins defined in a predetermined pattern is computed, based on the Fresnel zone associated with each trace. Based on the computed contributions, a maximum lateral distance between corresponding seismic sensors is determined that will result in a contribution sum above a selected threshold.

Abstract: A method for assessing data coverage in a three dimensional marine seismic survey includes determining at least one Fresnel zone for at least one of a plurality of seismic data traces. A contribution is determined for each of the seismic data traces to each one of a set of bins in a defined pattern. Each contribution is based on the Fresnel zone associated with each seismic data trace. The contributions from all seismic data traces contributing to each bin are summed. The summed contribution for each bin are stored or displayed and the summed contributions in each bin are compared to a selected threshold to determine coverage.
