Patent number: 11871675Abstract: A plurality of sensors and a controller are disposed in a marine seismic streamer. Each of the sensors comprises an enclosure having two opposing interior walls, first and second piezoelectric elements disposed on the opposing interior walls, a third piezoelectric element disposed on a flexible substrate within the enclosure between the opposing interior walls, a pressure signal output node and an acceleration signal output node disposed on the exterior surface of the enclosure. A combined pressure signal derived from the pressure signal output nodes of the plural sensors is coupled to a pressure signal input of the controller. A combined acceleration signal derived from the acceleration signal output nodes of the plural sensors is coupled to an acceleration signal input of the controller. The streamer may be towed, and the combined pressure and acceleration signals may be recorded in a computer-readable medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: PGS Geophysical ASInventors: Stig Rune Lennart Tenghamn, David Thomas Booth

Patent number: 10929604Abstract: The present invention is a method or system of analyzing items to create a data structure using lexicon analysis and filtering process. The present invention drives the analysis without a user being required to provide search terms and Boolean queries. Further, the present invention merges the use of unstructured data and structured data using a lexicon as a focus. Structured data is mapped to lexicon terms through one analysis process, while unstructured data is mapped to lexicon terms through a separate analysis process. In some disclosed embodiments, the mapping process uses a tuple structure of the source data to match with lexicon terms. The result is an analysis that merges the two different sets of data, which enables a user to navigate through the items using lexicons. Analysis results are displayed simultaneously in a tabular view, geospatial view, and lexicon histogram.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Cogility Software CorporationInventors: Stuart Thomas Booth, Alexander Xingzhi Jiang, Michael Allen Latta, Thien Huu Pham

Publication number: 20200303620Abstract: Seismic pressure and particle motion measurement can include simultaneously determining a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal from each one of a plurality of sensors located in a streamer using triple piezoelectric structures. The first voltage signal can represent pressure of a respective one of the plurality of sensors, and the second voltage signal can represent acceleration of a respective one of the plurality of sensors. Vertical components of the acceleration can be determined based on the simultaneous determination, and noise associated with the sensor can be reduced based on the first voltage signal, the second voltage signal, and the vertical components.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2018Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: PGS Geophysical ASInventors: Stig Rune Lennart Tenghamn, David Thomas Booth

Patent number: 7874789Abstract: A housing is disclosed for a compressor having a duct defining a main gas flow axis and blades that draw a fluid through the duct. The blades impart to the fluid a momentum along a main gas flow direction and a swirl. The housing includes a volute configured to extend substantially circumferentially around and fluidly communicate with the duct (at a first location). The volute may be configured to direct a fluid portion flowing thereinto from the duct to have a velocity with a component in a first circumferential direction generally aligned with the swirl. The housing may also include at least one conduit, such as a pipe, in fluid communication with the first volute. The conduit may be configured to redirect the fluid portion to have a velocity with a first component along the main gas flow axis in a direction opposite the main gas flow direction and a second component in a second circumferential direction opposite to the first circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Honeywell International, Inc.Inventors: Borislav Sirakov, Thomas Booth, Nicolas Deschatrettes, Juniel Yin, Gary Vrbas, Dennis Thoren, Peter R.

Patent number: 4677683Abstract: A system for correcting the manufacturing errors and variations in the positional alignment and spacing of optical fibers in the scanning head of an automatic digitizing system. A scan head signature is produced by measuring the actual X and Y position for each optical fiber including the variation of each fiber from its nominal X and Y positions. An X correction circuit and a Y correction circuit use the head signature data stored in a signature correction memory to correct the X and Y positions of the stream of scan line data to thereby provide a true video scan of the document data.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1984Date of Patent: June 30, 1987Assignee: Skantek CorporationInventors: William Pferd, III, Joshua Milow, Thomas A.

Patent number: 3959801Abstract: A photographic compositor having a letter pattern carrying section comprising a plurality of letter pattern carrying discs which are rotatably mounted on a common rotatable shaft at intervals. A dynamic optical system provides a collimated light beam source at a fixed location. A carriage with a sub-optical system decollimates and focuses the beam, transports the beam in an offset path to letter pattern of a disc, and recollimates the beam. The recollimated beam is then projected to a focusing lens and out to a photocomposer apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1975Date of Patent: May 25, 1976Assignee: Addressograph Multigraph CorporationInventor: Thomas A.
