Title: Innovations by Philippe Saint-Pere
Introduction
Philippe Saint-Pere is an accomplished inventor based in Castelnau de Medoc, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of seismic survey technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of marine deflector systems used in seismic surveys.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "System for depth control of a marine deflector." This innovative system allows for the adjustment of a deflector in a seismic survey, comprising a generally upright deflector body and at least one bridle connected to a seismic cable. The bridle includes an upper segment secured to an upper connection point on the deflector body, and a lower segment coupled to a lower connection point on the deflector body. The geometry defined by the upper bridle segment, lower bridle segment, and deflector body is adjustable by at least one actuator, enabling control over the tilt angle of the deflector body.
Another notable patent is for "Deflector devices." This deflector device is designed for use with a tow line between a seismic survey vessel and a tow, particularly a seismic streamer or streamer array. It features a vertically oriented wing-shaped body that produces a sideways force, urging the tow line laterally with respect to the direction of movement of the towing vessel. The wing-shaped body includes buoyancy elements and a rearwardly extending boom. A pivotable control surface extends sideways from the boom, allowing for remote control of the angle to manage the depth of the deflector device.
