Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, methods, and apparatuses related to automatically and simultaneously charging a plurality of autonomous seismic nodes on a marine vessel before and/or after deployment to the seabed are disclosed. A plurality of autonomous seismic nodes are simultaneously charged in a CSC approved ISO container. Each autonomous seismic node may comprise a plurality of power connectors, a plurality of rechargeable batteries, and a battery management system. Each of the nodes may be configured to couple with a charging system on the marine vessel, which may include a power source, one or more power/charging stations, one or more power connectors, and a network. The node may have a plurality of power connectors disposed within a plurality of grooves that are configured to couple with a plurality of charging rails for simultaneous charging.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An autonomous seismic node, comprising: at least one seismic sensor, at least one data recording unit, and at least one clock; a plurality of rechargeable battery cells; and a plurality of charging connectors coupled to the plurality of rechargeable battery cells, wherein the plurality of charging connectors comprises a first connector configured to couple with a first rail of a charging system and a second connector configured to couple with a second…
