In-Line Cable Retriever
US Patent:
2003004, Mar 6, 2003
Filed:
Mar 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/087393
Inventors:
Jimmy Cole - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Concord Technologies
International Classification:
B63C009/28
B63B022/08
B63B022/08
US Classification:
441/133000, 441/007000
Abstract:
A retriever is provided for a marine seismic cable or other tool. The retriever first comprises a housing. Disposed within the housing is a canister for containing gas under pressure. An inflatable bag is fluidly connected to the gas canister within the housing. Gas is prohibited from exiting the gas canister and inflating the bag until hydrostatic pressure acting upon the retriever exceeds a designated amount. If the cable sinks to a certain depth within a water body, the corresponding hydrostatic pressure acting upon the cable will exceed the preset pressure level. An actuating mechanism is then actuated, causing gas to exit the gas canister and to inflate the inflatable bag. In one arrangement, a pop-open cover is provided on the housing. As the bag inflates, it acts to release the pop-open cover from the housing and to further inflate outside of the housing of the retriever. The inflated bag will cause the cable to be buoyantly lifted to the surface of the water body.
Cable Depth Control Apparatus
US Patent:
4222340, Sep 16, 1980
Filed:
Nov 1, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/956731
Inventors:
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
Assignee:
Syntron, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B63G 800
B63B 2100
B63B 2100
US Classification:
114245
Abstract:
An apparatus to control the depth in the water of a marine cable, such as a streamer of seismic geophones or hydrophones towed behind an exploration boat during seismic surveys of submerged formations, and maintain the cable at a desired depth. The apparatus includes structure to prevent damage from obstacles in the water and other imparing of performance. The apparatus includes other structure to improve performance characteristics in operation.
Controller For Marine Seismic Cable
US Patent:
4709355, Nov 24, 1987
Filed:
Jun 18, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/621492
Inventors:
Theodore E. Woods - Stafford TX
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
James T. Burcham - Sugar Land TX
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
James T. Burcham - Sugar Land TX
Assignee:
Syntron, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 138
US Classification:
367 16
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cable leveling device for a seismic marine cable. The cable leveling device features a motor which controls diving planes by way of direct mechanical linkage. The motor is controlled by a stored program digital processor connected in a closed loop feedback circuit. Optical reflective sensors are employed in the feedback loop to monitor the position of the mechanical linkage to directly determine the angle of the diving planes. A telemetry unit is provided to telemeter data from the cable leveling device to shipboard via the marine cable.
Latching Device
US Patent:
5709497, Jan 20, 1998
Filed:
Jun 18, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/666650
Inventors:
David W. Zoch - Cypress TX
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
Assignee:
Concord Technologiies Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B63G 814
US Classification:
403 24
Abstract:
A cluster of seismic streamer cable utility modules is provided with a set of hinged latching members. The hinged latching members are adapted secure the cluster to the steamer cable by closing the hinged latches around corresponding collars mounted on the streamer cable. The collars form an inner race while the closed hinged latches form an outer race to allow free relative rotation between the streamer cable and the cluster of modules.
Remote Control Cable Depth Control Apparatus
US Patent:
4290124, Sep 15, 1981
Filed:
Nov 1, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/956730
Inventors:
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
Assignee:
Syntron, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 138
US Classification:
367 18
Abstract:
An apparatus to remotely control the depth in the water of a marine cable, such as a streamer of seismic geophones or hydrophones towed behind an exploration boat during seismic surveys of submerged formations, and maintain the cable at a desired depth. The depth at which the cable is maintained may be remotely adjusted for a range of selected depths. A new and improved attaching mechanism for attaching the depth control apparatus to the cable is provided.
Cable Depth Control Apparatus
US Patent:
3931608, Jan 6, 1976
Filed:
Apr 25, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/463980
Inventors:
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
Assignee:
Syntron, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 128
US Classification:
340 7PC
Abstract:
An apparatus to control the depth in the water of a cable, such as a cable streamer of seismic geophones or hydrophones towed behind an exploration boat during seismic surveys of submerged formations, and maintain the cable at a desired depth while operating at reduced noise levels and with improved operating characteristics. The depth at which the cable is maintained may be adjusted for a range of selected depths.
Retriever For A Seismic Streamer Cable
US Patent:
5404339, Apr 4, 1995
Filed:
Feb 25, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/201940
Inventors:
Jimmy R. Cole - Houston TX
Assignee:
Concord Technologies Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 138
H01B 712
H01B 712
US Classification:
367 16
Abstract:
A marine seismic streamer cable retriever is activated promptly when the cable and its attached retriever exceed a pre-selected safe depth. In an alternative scenario, an electronics module in the cable retriever monitors the presence of through-cable communications traffic between a mother ship and the various sensors in the cable. If an interruption in communications traffic is detected, a clock starts a count-down and sends a warning to the operator aboard ship. At the end of a count-down period, absent prior operator intervention, the cable retriever is activated.
