Cryogenic geophone with constant response between room temperature and temperatures close to absolute zero<\/h1>\n

In particular, the patent addresses the modifications to be made to a commercial geophone to ensure that its operation and response remain constant over a temperature range from room temperature to temperatures close to absolute zero.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4681″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The patented technology concerns a cryogenic geophone that has a constant response between room temperature and temperatures close to absolute zero. The underlying idea of the technology is to make modifications to the mechanics and materials of a commercial geophone, so that it can function properly at cryogenic temperatures. More specifically, the idea consists of creating a device that can operate with a natural frequency where the sensitivity of commercial cryogenic accelerometers is minimal. <\/p>\n

Through this patented technology, it is therefore possible to obtain an apparatus having the same structure as a commercial geophone, but which operates consistently at temperatures close to absolute zero.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
