  • Patent number: 11947066
    Abstract: A drill hole logging system (5) incorporates a computing system (58) at the surface and a deployment mechanism (40) for conveying a logging tool (10) configured to measure one or more geophysical parameters into a drill hole (20). A transmission means (57) communicates commands and data representing the geophysical parameters between the surface computing system and the logging tool. A borehole caliper (300) is employed to profile the inside of the borehole.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180101244
    Abstract: Virtual reality systems described herein may translate a user's movement from a real space to a virtual environment. The system may include a plurality of sensors configured to capture user motion, such as one or more pressure sensors. The sensors may be arranged into configurable modular elements which may be combined to form a sensor array upon which the user may move. A computing device connected by at least one interface to the plurality of sensors may receive data from the sensors, interpret the data, and cause a corresponding motion in a virtual reality environment. The computing device may interpret the data further based on other information received about user movement, including information received from positional trackers, cameras, or the like. The corresponding motion made in the virtual reality environment may be based in part on a vector representative of the user's movement.
