20080307863 | PENETROMETER INCLUDING A HAMMER AND AN AUTOMATED ACTUATOR WEIGHT-SUPPORTED BY AN ANVIL THROUGH THE HAMMER - A penetrometer that includes a hammer, an anvil, a penetrating rod, and an automated actuator. The penetrating rod extends from the anvil with the anvil between the hammer and the penetrating rod. The automated actuator is engaged with the hammer and configured to reciprocally impact the hammer against the anvil. The automated actuator is weight-supported by the anvil through the hammer with the penetrometer positioned with the automated actuator above the anvil and upon impact of the hammer against the anvil. | 12-18-2008 |
20080320381 | WEB APPLICATION HYBRID STRUCTURE AND METHODS FOR BUILDING AND OPERATING A WEB APPLICATION HYBRID STRUCTURE - A web application hybrid structure is disclosed. The structure combines third party content from third party websites with applications on the structure website into an integrated view. A blind template is developed on the web application hybrid site. The blind template comprises framing and organizing information for hosting of the third party content hosted on the one or more third party websites. The blind template does not comprise the third party data or content. Methods for operating and building the web application hybrid structure are also shown. | 12-25-2008 |

20140049653 | Authentication and Validation of Smartphone Imagery - A method, system, and processor-executable software for processing images or video captured by a smartphone or other digital image capture device for subsequent validation and authentication captures not only the image, but also metadata relevant to the authenticity of validity of the image, such as position, time, camera movement and orientation, image parameters, and so forth. The image is watermarked and both the watermarked image and the metadata, as well as a symmetric key used in the watermarking, are digitally signed and transmitted or uploaded to a web server or authentication centric entity for authentication and storage. When a third party submits an image to the web server or authentication centric entity, the submitted image is compared with the stored watermarked image for authentication and validation of the submitted image, and the metadata is then retrieved to enable analysis of the contents of authenticated and validated image. | 02-20-2014 |

20150316451 | System and Method for Automatic Plant Tissue Sampling - An automatic plant tissue sampler and a method for operating the same are provided. The sampler can include a plant handler configured to transport a plurality of plants to an imager. The imager may be configured to image plants to identify a sampling location. The automatic plant tissue sampler also includes a sampler configured to remove a tissue sample from the sampling location of plants, and a collection vessel configured to receive the tissue samples. The automatic plant tissue sampler may transport a plurality of plants to an imager and images the plurality of plants to identify a sampling location. The automatic plant tissue sampler can remove a tissue sample from the sampling location of the plurality of plants and store the tissue samples in a collection vessel for testing. | 11-05-2015 |

20130140106 | TRUCK-MOUNTED VIBRATORY SOURCE AND METHOD - Method and land-based system for generating seismic signals. The system includes a vehicle configured to move to a desired location above ground, the vehicle having a first end and a second end, opposite to the first end; a vibratory source configured to generate seismic waves into the ground; a lifting system connecting the first end of the vehicle to the vibratory source and configured to lift or lower the vibratory source relative to the ground; and a balancing device connected to the second end of the vehicle and configured to lift the second end of the vehicle from the ground. | 06-06-2013 |
20130155808 | Method and Device for Estimating an Inter-node Distance Between Nodes Arranged Along Towed Acoustic Linear Antennas - A method and apparatus are provided for estimating an inter-node distance between a sender node and a receiver node belonging to a network comprising a plurality of nodes arranged along towed acoustic linear antennas. An acoustic signal is transmitted from the sender node to the receiver node through an underwater acoustic channel. The method includes estimating the inter-node distance as a function of an estimate of a sound speed profile of the underwater acoustic channel, the sound speed profile depending on depth. | 06-20-2013 |
20130155809 | Method and Device for Managing the Acoustic Performances of a Network of Acoustic Nodes Arranged Along Towed Acoustic Linear Antennas - A method and apparatus are provided for managing the acoustic performances of a network of acoustic nodes arranged along towed acoustic linear antennas. The network of acoustic nodes is adapted to determine inter-node distances allowing to locate the acoustic linear antennas. The method includes: obtaining a determined layout of the network of acoustic nodes; obtaining at least one marine environment property relating to an area of performance of a survey with the network of acoustic nodes; and quantifying the acoustic performances of the network of acoustic nodes, using a sound propagation model, the at least one marine environment property and the determined layout. | 06-20-2013 |
20130163384 | Stress-Relief Device for Geophysical Equipment or Node - A stress-relief device is provided, which is configured for being mounted on a geophysical equipment or node connected to at least two cables. The device includes a case configured for surrounding the geophysical equipment or node and for making at least an opening for enabling a connection between each of the at least two cables and the geophysical equipment or node. The device also includes a housing for housing a portion of each of the two cables, the housing being configured for substantially preventing any movement of said portions of the two cables. | 06-27-2013 |
