Abstract
A vibration-sensing field unit includes a base with at least one accelerometer, and a body mounted to the base. The base is composed essentially of a first material, while the body is composed essentially of a second material that is more flexible than the first material to reduce a vibration at the accelerometer caused by a mass supported by the body. In another embodiment, a vibration-sensing field unit includes at least one accelerometer and at least one ultrasonic transducer.
