Patent number: 10502852Abstract: Embodiments of a method and system for acquiring a marine seismic survey are described. One method may include depositing on a seafloor a line of cable sections extending in a first direction. The line of cable sections may have a first end and a second end and may include a plurality of seismic wavefield receivers. The method may also include moving the line of cable sections by collecting cable sections from the second end of the line and depositing cable sections at the first end of the line so that the line of cable sections travels in the first direction. At least one source vessel may be used to provide acoustical waveforms while the line of cable sections is moving. The acoustical waveforms may be received by the plurality of seismic wavefield receivers in the line of cable sections so as to enable generation of a seismic survey.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: ION Geophysical CorporationInventors: Giles Frances Tanfield Watts, Peter Graham Stewart

Patent number: 10274627Abstract: A seismic sensor system includes a seismic sensor suspended in an acoustic medium, which is disposed between first and second sensor housings. The acoustic medium can be selected to preferentially transmit pressure wave energy, based on the acoustic impedance of the surrounding water column or other seismic medium. The acoustic medium can also be selected to preferentially dissipate or otherwise reduce the transmitted shear wave energy. The second housing can similarly be configured to dissipate shear wave energy, while transmitting pressure wave energy in the form of acoustic waves that propagate through the acoustic medium to the seismic sensor.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: ION Geophysical CorporationInventors: Peter Graham Stewart, Cornelis A.

Patent number: 7380940Abstract: Apparatus and a corresponding method for the diagnosis and alleviation of symptoms of visually induced physiological defects and/or pathological conditions is provided. A plurality of narrow-band light sources are combined to constitute a color controllable lamp. A method for adjusting the settings of this lamp permits the optimum illumination for a particular subject to be found, whilst the latter carries out a task such as reading or writing. By use of the lamp to simulate the expected visual stimulus, to which the subject would be exposed if provided with viewing aids such as tinted spectacles and the like, an optimal selection from a database of such aids may be made or a new formulation defined. Inter alia, the symptoms of visual dyslexia, macular degeneration and visually induced migraine may be alleviated.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2007Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Orthoscopics LimitedInventors: John Douglas Anderson, Ian Jordan, Graham Stewart Brandon Street, Shane William Thornton

Publication number: 20060262272Abstract: Apparatus and a corresponding method for the assessment of the effects of tinted illumination on a subject's visual system is provided. Colour controllable light sources provide the illuminant for an object field comprising features viewed against a background. A practitioner or the subject can effect movement of a feature such as a symbol or a ball. The subject views the feature at different locations and/or whilst in motion, having selected a tint for evaluation of visual comfort or performance. Some embodiments of the invention may be used to assess the effects of optimising tint for subjects who suffer from visual dyslexia or other impairments of the visual system. Other embodiments are directly operable by the subject in order to help the subject to select tinted eyewear for the enhancement of his or her visual performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2005Publication date: November 23, 2006Applicant: Orthoscopics LimitedInventors: John Anderson, Ian Jordan, Graham Stewart Street

Patent number: 6876495Abstract: Apparatus and method for the display of autostereoscopic images, in which two or more perspective views are generated by a single transmissive display screen is provided. A structured light source behind the screen directs light through different sets of display elements to correspondingly different viewing zones. The structured light source includes two crossed arrays of cylindrical convergent optical elements, two linear arrays of polarisation altering elements which, in conjunction with the convergent arrays and the first polariser of the LCD, prevent light from passing through a particular set of display elements and reaching the wrong viewing zone. In some variations, one or both of the polarisation altering arrays may be programmed. Observer co-ordinate data permits the correct viewing zone to be co-located with each of the observer's corresponding eyes and includes devices for accommodating changes in the observer's distance from the display. The displayed image adapts to the observer's location.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2003Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Inventor: Graham Stewart Brandon Street

Patent number: 5712732Abstract: Apparatus and method for the alignment of images in which, typically, two perspective views are provided. The observer's head location is detected and each of the views is presented to the respectively correct eye to provide a stereoscopic image. A retro-reflective marker worn by the observer removes the need for the observer to wear special viewing devices, whilst providing an infrared imaging system with a way to locate the observer's head. Image content may be driven by the observer's viewpoint. The two perspectives may be presented simultaneously using conventional display elements. A tapered lenticular structure provides a way to adapt to changes in the observer's distance from the display. Alternatively, each perspective image may be rapidly sequenced, either as two complete single images, or a sequence of suitably arranged compositions of the two. The infrared source used in the head tracking apparatus is modulated to aid image processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1995Date of Patent: January 27, 1998Inventor: Graham Stewart Brandon Street
