Patents by Inventor Wouter Gerrit Brouwer

Wouter Gerrit Brouwer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Attenuating noise acquired in an energy measurement
    Patent number: 9638816
    Abstract: A technique includes receiving sensor data; sorting the data into a gather representation that corresponds to a plurality of shots of an energy source; and determining a signal cone based at least in part on at least one characteristic of the gather representation. The technique includes processing the sensor data in a processor-based machine to attenuate noise to generate data representing a signal based at least in part on the determined signal cone and the gather representation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2017
    Assignee: WESTERNGECO L.L.C.
    Inventors: Susanne Rentsch-Smith, Ali Ozbek, Wouter Gerrit Brouwer, Jason Gardner
  • Methods to process seismic data contaminated by coherent energy radiated from more than one source
    Patent number: 9310503
    Abstract: This invention discloses methods of processing data using a computer to separate out geophysical exploration response at receivers corresponding to one source among many sources by determining at least one spatio-temporal variant directional propagation attribute of the responses at receivers corresponding to the one source and by decomposition or filtering process using the determined attribute.
