| 20110292763 | DETECTION OF SEISMIC SIGNALS USING FIBER OPTIC DISTRIBUTED SENSORS - A fiber optic distributed vibration system for detecting seismic signals in an earth formation is provided. The system includes a fiber optic cable deployed in a borehole that extends into the earth formation and which is configured to react along its length to a seismic wave incident on the fiber optic cable from outside the borehole. An optical source launches an optical signal into the fiber optic cable while the seismic wave is incident thereon. A receiver detects coherent Rayleigh noise (CRN) produced in response to the optical signal. A processing circuit processes the detected CRN signal to determine characteristics of the earth formation. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20100061677 | FLEXURAL DISC FIBER OPTIC SENSOR AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME - A fiber optic sensor employs at least two flexural discs that are spaced apart from one another along a central axis. A fiber optic coil is affixed to at least one of the flexural discs. A proof mass is disposed between the flexural discs. A first stop member is disposed between the proof mass and one flexural disc. A second stop member is disposed between the proof mass and the other flexural disc. The first and second stop members are sized to provide space between the proof mass and the corresponding flexural disc to allow for normal motion of the flexural discs, while interfering with movement of the flexural discs to prohibit unwanted extreme motion. The fiber optic sensor can be used for OTDR measurements of acceleration for real-time oilfield monitoring applications as well as other fiber-based interferometric measurement applications. A coupling structure preferably couples the outer edges of the flexible disks, the mass being attached to the coupling structure. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20120006468 | INLINE PLASMA TREATMENT OF AN OPTICAL FIBER CABLE STRUCTURE - To treat a surface of an optical fiber cable structure, substantially an entire length of the optical fiber cable structure is moved through an inline plasma treatment system. As the optical fiber cable structure is moved through the inline plasma treatment system, the surface of the optical fiber cable structure is continually exposed to plasma. Exposing the surface of the optical fiber cable structure to plasma modifies a characteristic of the surface of the optical cable structure to improve an ability of the surface of the optical fiber cable structure to adhere to a target material. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20090323075 | FLEXURAL DISC FIBER OPTIC SENSOR - A fiber optic sensor employs a central support structure and at least two flexural discs spaced apart from one another along a central axis. Radially-inner portions of the flexural discs are rigidly attached to the central support structure. A fiber optic coil is affixed to one of the flexural discs. At least one proof mass is disposed between the flexural discs. Coupling means rigidly connects together radially outer edge portions of the flexural discs and rigidly connects the at least one proof mass to such outer edge portions. The flexibility of the axially-aligned outer-edge-connected flexural disc arrangement, together with the outer-edge-connected proof mass, provide for a relatively large response to axial forces. The radial stiffness of the axially-aligned outer-edge-connected flexural disc arrangement minimizes the response to non-axial forces. By limiting the response to non-axial forces, unwanted cross-axis sensitivity of the device is reduced and unwanted resonances are eliminated. The seismic mass may comprise a tungsten body. | 12-31-2009 |
