  • Patent number: 11680874
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device and method for correlating core sample zones with an actual subterranean depth. The disclosed device has a pair of independent distance measuring devices operably in communication with a core sample apparatus where a first distance measuring device measures the length of a core sample entering a core sampling tube and a second distance measuring device measures a drive depth of the core sampling tube entering into the ground. A processing unit is provided for correlating the two distances so as to allow a determination as to the actual depth below ground from where a given zone of the core sample is extracted.

  • Patent number: 9121706
    Abstract: A compass system includes a processing circuit configured to use the deviations for each of the plurality of headings to calculate a plurality of compass deviation coefficients representative of different types of noise sources. At least one compass deviation coefficient is determined based on a database of geographic zone error factors stored in the memory device and based on a position of the compass. The processing circuit is configured to update the database of geographic zone error factors using an internet connection. The processing circuit is configured to store the deviation coefficients in memory and to at least one of calibrate the compass and adjust an output from the compass using the compass deviation coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20140138916
    Abstract: An emergency stopping system for track mounted movable targets used divergent cables to stop a target trolley which has not been otherwise stopped before coming to the end of a track. As the trolley passes over the diverging cables, the cables are forced together, causing the trolley to dissipate kinetic energy.
