Abstract: A motion sensing element with position sensing includes a case, a magnet positioned within the case, a spring assembly having an electrically conductive member and a coil assembly coupled to the spring assembly. The coil assembly and magnet are moveable with respect to one another. A capacitor plate is proximate the electrically conductive member with a distance between the capacitor plate and electrically conductive member being variable as the magnet and coil assembly move. Leads connect the capacitor plate and electrically conductive member to a sensing circuit for estimating the relative positions of the magnet and coil assembly.

Abstract: The invention describes a sensor array with digital signals transmitted over an optical fiber for seismic exploration systems. The seismic system includes a transducer for providing digital optical data signals and an optical interrogator for collecting the digital data. The transducer provides data from seismic sensors to the optical interrogator by acting on an optical carrier transmitted along the optical fiber. The system is designed to utilize known electromechanical seismic sensors with fiber optic telemetry.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) and control system for controlling and testing an acoustic source. The control system includes real-time data processing of individual source near-field measured signatures and synthesis of array far-field signatures. The control system determines individual source out-of-specification conditions and computes far-field signatures based on an array configuration and, when applicable, excluding failed sources. Source, array, and troubleshooting information are presented to a user in real-time over a GUI monitor to allow informed decision-making regarding continued and/or modified survey operations and operational parameters.
