  • Seismic source/receiver probe for shallow seismic surveying
    Patent number: 8804463
    Abstract: Systems and methods are implemented for evaluating underground structures and objects, particularly relatively shallow underground structures and objects, using a seismic or acoustic source signal and a resulting seismic or acoustic wave. A discrete or unitary apparatus incorporates both a seismic source transducer and a receiver transducer within a common housing or frame. A unitary seismic probe includes a ground engaging member and a seismic source mechanically coupled to the ground engaging member. The probe further includes a sensor assembly mechanically coupled to the ground engaging member and configured to sense ground vibrations resulting from an impact to the ground engaging member by the seismic source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 12, 2014
    Assignees: Underground Imaging Technologies, Inc., BBN Technologies Corporation
