  • Patent number: 5044460
    Abstract: A downhole seismic exploration device comprises a seismic detector such as a geophone and a magnetic clamp, supported by O-rings in an open cradle carrier which can be secured to a cable linking several such devices into an array. The array is lowered into a cased borehole and the magnetic clamps are operated to clamp the devices temporarily to the casing. Seismic signals detected by the geophones are transmitted to the surface via the cable, the O-ring supports acting to reduce or eliminate transmission of vibrations from the borehole fluid and the cable via the carrier to the geophone. The array is then unclamped and moved to another location in the borehole and the operation repeated. The magnetic clamp comprises a rotatable permanent magnet with radial poles disposed between a pair of parallel pole piece plates protruding on each side of the device and separated by non-magnetic blocks on eahc side of the magnet.

  • Patent number: 4457587
    Abstract: A reflector includes a base body made of a metallic material having substantially the same ionization potential as that of aluminum. A reflecting layer made of aluminum is formed over one surface of the base body by vacuum deposition. A light-transmitting water-insoluble inorganic oxide layer is formed on the aluminum reflecting layer. The light-transmitting inorganic oxide layer has its micropores sealed by H.sub.2 O a carboxylate of an iron family element having a low valence.

  • Patent number: 4457598
    Abstract: A reflector includes a base body exhibiting dielectric property at least at its surface. A reflecting layer made of aluminum is formed on one surface of the base body by vacuum deposition.

  • Patent number: 4448855
    Abstract: The present invention is intended for a heat resistant reflector in which a light reflective metal is vacuum coated on a metal or inorganic material substrate and in which on the surface of the vacuum coated layer is further vacuum coated a light transmissible ceramic and preferably, a ceramic having a crystalline substance. This reflector has a light reflective metal and a ceramic vacuum coated together, and thus, can form a thin film of the same replica as a substrate. Therefore, there is very little refraction or absorption of light due to a protective film, cnanges of total reflectivity, regular reflectivity or refractivity are very few and its manufacture as well is simple because of continuous vacuum coating with one and the same coating machine.

  • Patent number: 4431268
    Abstract: A reflector has a base body which is made of a metallic material having an ionization potential substantially higher than that of aluminum. An aluminum reflecting layer is formed on one surface of the base body by vacuum deposition. Furthermore, a light-transmitting water-insoluble inorganic oxide layer is formed on the aluminum reflecting layer. The light-transmitting inorganic oxide layer has its micropores sealed by H.sub.2 O or a carboxylate of an iron family element having a low valence. An insulating layer is formed to cover at least the other surface and the peripheral side of the base body.

  • Patent number: 4340646
    Abstract: The reflector of the present invention is a multi-layer reflector comprising a substrate with or without a resin layer coated thereon; a light-reflective metal layer vacuum-coated on said substrate; and a protective layer consisting of a light transmittable resin layer and a light transmittable, preferably vacuum-coated, inorganic substance layer coated on said metal layer. By this, each film can be thin as compared with each individual protective film, which leads to good heat conductivity low temperature rise, high impact strength and good durability and which gives clear reflected images or high precision light collective and light distributing properties. In addition, the coated light-reflective metal shows better regular reflectivity, giving clear and sharp reflected images and allowing more accurate light collective or light distributing properties.
