Abstract: Thermal dressings consist of conformable containment pack to be placed on or wrapped around a part of the body providing thermal therapeutics with or without; sensing as a diagnostic tool and/or medical intervention material. Containment pack has an inner layer closest to the skin and an outer layer furthest from the skin; containment pack has at least one volume deflector configure to provide areas of positive and negative curvature when in use; inner layer positive curvature is an outward protrusion for compression directed into skin for splinting and sensor location, and the negative curvature has gap for circuitry and medical intervention material. Volume deflectors are positioned to provide contour matching portions of body covered by said containment pack; and containment pack has a preloaded first material needed to create a thermal reaction.

Abstract: Wearable device is disclosed to quickly deliver thermal treatment. port. A separate material or component is later added through a port at point of injury or a medical event. Wearable thermal device comprises: at least one containment pack of selected shape; containment pack(s) contains a selected amount of first material (preloaded component); at least one port is attached to containment pack(s) configured to accept a second material (second component); and said second material is added through said at least one port to create a chemical reaction when combined with said first material. In one embodiment, first material needed to create an endothermic reaction is a selected amount of ammonium nitrate contained within wearable hypothermic treating device. A port or valve is configured to accept water. When a selected amount ammonium nitrate is combined with water a selected amount of thermal mass is created.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the treatment of injuries or pain associated with the neck, spine, lower back, sacrum or central nervous system. Apparatus can also be used to cool and relax the body. The particular embodiment utilizes a neck wrap that is activated to produce an endothermic reaction to draw heat from, or apply cold to, the neck, spine and central nervous system. A clear or transparent layer is also used to help with visual inspection. In another embodiment a neck wrap contains ice cubes to draw heat from, or apply cold to, the neck, spine and central nervous system. Layers are used to accomplish different applications and colors are used to associate with selected sport teams colors or camouflaged as may be required in a battlefield environment. Another embodiment utilizes a similar device and design for a lower back wrap.

Abstract: A methods and apparatus for the detection and exploration of buried objects and hydrocarbons uses two separate signals having different frequency characteristics combined to enable interferometric analysis and imaging systems including radar, sonar, seismological, and general acoustical systems. The measurement and analysis of absorption and other elastic moduli are derived from a three-dimensional display of interferometric information. Interferometric holography also employs the unique characteristic record of frequency, phase, and amplitude of more than one signal.

Abstract: A method for determining a unique signal representing the earth's response between a transmitter and receivers when conducting a seismic survey involves the steps of receiving a seismic signal set that comprises a plurality of different output frequency signals having known amplitude and phase characteristics, selectively combining the different output frequency signals to form the unique signal, and recording values of amplitude, phase, and frequency of the unigue signal. A method of conducting a modulated seismic survey involves the steps of providing seismic sensors capable of receiving a modulated seismic signal comprised of different frequency signals, transmitting modulated seismic energy information into the earth, and recording indications of reflected and refracted seismic waves sensed by the seismic sensors in response to transmission of the modulated seismic energy information into the earth.

Abstract: A seismic sensor platform comprises an open frame and a plurality of seismic motion sensors vertically positioned in a common horizontal plane in spaced relationship around the periphery of the open frame. A spike associated with each of the sensors extends beneath the open frame for anchoring each of the sensors in the earth. The frame includes a shield for protecting the sensors from physical damage and for shielding them from seismic noise. Second and third pluralities of horizontally positioned sensors may be provided on the frame, orthogonally positioned with respect to each other to sense orthogonal components of reflected seismic waves. The sensors may each be of a different natural frequency to optimize the multi frequency output of the sensor array.
