ULTRASOUND COMPUTER-AIDED STATION Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: seismic reconnaissance equipment for investigation of rocks, concrete and other materials. SUBSTANCE: device has vibrator, which is connected to generator of sounding pulses, receiver of vibrations with preliminary and power amplifiers, analog-to-digital converter and computer as device for control, processing and storing information. In addition device has clock oscillator, optical isolation unit, and signal processor. Clock oscillator is connected to circuit for starting signal processor and generator of sounding pulses, which is supplied by high- voltage power supply. Optical isolation unit is connected between clock oscillator and generator of sounding pulses to achieve galvanic isolation. Signal processor, which is connected to computer through interface, sets modes of power amplifier, analog-to-digital converter and is equipped with synchronization unit which is connected to clock oscillator, and buffer memory unit which stores data received from analog-to-digital converter and results of processing. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 1 dwg
