  • Truck-mounted vibratory source and method
    Patent number: 8689928
    Abstract: Method and land-based system for generating seismic signals. The system includes a vehicle configured to move to a desired location above ground, the vehicle having a first end and a second end, opposite to the first end; a vibratory source configured to generate seismic waves into the ground; a lifting system connecting the first end of the vehicle to the vibratory source and configured to lift or lower the vibratory source relative to the ground; and a balancing device connected to the second end of the vehicle and configured to lift the second end of the vehicle from the ground.

  • Device for emitting seismic vibration waves
    Patent number: 7499378
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for emitting seismic vibration waves mountable on a movable platform (100) comprising a vibration system for transmitting the waves into the ground and a system for supporting a device (200) on the ground, wherein the system for supporting on the ground is fixable to the movable platform (100) and transfers a charge to a ground-mounted vibration system in a ground support direction (1). Said ground-mounted vibration system is fixable to the system for supporting on the ground by compensation means (251, 252, 253) for compensating perpendicularity defects between the ground general plane and the around support direction (1).
