摘要 |
A down-hole apparatus comprises a unitary seamless section defining a chamber, a clamping section to engage a fiber optic cable, actuator electronics enclosed in the chamber, and an actuator to acoustically couple the actuator electronics to the fiber optic cable. The apparatus can include a temperature sensor, a microphone, or a geophone, enclosed by the chamber. The actuator can be an acoustic emitter or a piezoelectric device. The apparatus could be battery-operated by a battery enclosed in the chamber. A sensor enclosed within the chamber could be powered by signals propagated within the fiber optic cable. Additional apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed. |
