Patent number: 7788975Abstract: An accelerometer and rate sensor package to aid gravity gradiometers is provided. The accelerometer and rate sensor package is mounted directly on or within a gravity gradiometer instrument (GGI). Outputs from the sensors can be used to reduce unwanted noise due to angular rotational rates, angular accelerations and linear accelerations that may be coupled to the GGI. Since the sensor assembly is directly mounted on or within the GGI, the sensor assembly is coupled to the GGI and senses the acceleration and angular rates as seen by the GGI. Thus, outputs from the GGI can be corrected more effectively using the sensor assembly's outputs.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignees: Bell Geospace, Inc., Lockhead Martin Corp.Inventors: John Brett, James Brewster

Patent number: 7542850Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing geophysical survey data is provided. Detection of geophysically significant subsurface anomalies potentially associated with ore bodies or hydrocarbon deposits can be made by vehicle mounted surface or airborne regional gravitational studies. Recorded geophysical survey data is processed to synchronize data collected by various sensors. Data from the various sensors is synchronized based on position coordinates corresponding to locations where the data was collected. In this manner, at one specific location on Earth, the electromagnetic reading, magnetometer reading, gravimeter reading, and altimeter reading can all be associated together so that many characteristics of the specific location can be identified.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Bell Geospace, Inc.Inventors: David Humphrey, John Brett

Patent number: 7236885Abstract: A geophysical survey is conducted, using specialized instruments, to measure the gravity field by flying over a terrain of interest. A series of nominally parallel survey lines can be flown until a total region to be surveyed has been covered. The geophysical survey data is collected using an airship or self-propelled lighter-than-air craft sometimes referred to as a dirigible or blimp. In particular, a rigid airship may be used, that includes all extensions, like fins and a control car, attached to a rigid frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Bell Geospace, Inc.Inventors: John Macfarlane, John Brett

Patent number: 6921118Abstract: A console system which may translate longitudinally in a vehicle includes a forward end which is capable of being at least partially nested with a vehicle instrument panel. The range of movement may extend to the front seats or further toward the rear of the vehicle to provide functionality for occupants of second or even third row seats. The translation mechanism preferably includes a track similar to those employed in the vehicle art for manual seat adjustment. In the most preferred embodiment, a storage drawer is included in the instrument panel which may be used when the console is in any position, including its nested position.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Kenneth M.

Publication number: 20040023562Abstract: A contact for a pin receiving socket includes, in order, a top flange, an angled pin guiding portion, a first contact point, a recess, a second contact point, a flex shaft, an anchor portion, and an external connection portion. The contact, and preferably two identical contacts, is mounted in a pin receiving opening of a socket body. The anchor portion is secured in the socket body at the bottom of the pin receiving opening, and the external connection portion extends through and out of the socket body. When a pin is inserted, the first contact point rubs or wipes any debris or contaminants from the pin and the second contact point makes and electrical connection to the cleaned part of the pin.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2002Publication date: February 5, 2004Applicant: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: John Brett Barry, Michael G.
