The study presents a developed instrumental and methodological complex designed to monitor changes in the state and development of dangerous processes in a natural and technogenic system, including the structural integrity of building structures and geodynamic processes in the soil rocks of their placement sites, including the activation of previously passive faults. The complex includes three orthogonal molecular-electronic linear displacement sensors and three orthogonal torsional vibration sensors which can sel...

The economic development of the Arctic region is a priority for the Russian Federation in the coming years, and this creates new challenges for Russian science in developing technologies and devices that can reliably and effectively function in the harsh conditions of the deeply negative temperatures of the northern territories. The paper examines the basic principles of low-temperature operation of molecular-electronic devices for recording motion parameters and wave fields, namely, the step-by-step operation of ...

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model and an appropriate algorithm that allows one-time measurement of the frequency response and phase response of the MET sensor under normal conditions to construct a complex transfer function of the MET at any other temperatures from the allowable range of -35 + 55 °C with the experimental accuracy not worse than a few percent. This model and the algorithm for setting up and selecting thermocompression circuits of electronic amplification and filtration circuits introdu...

The area of underwater seismic and geophysical exploration is now rapidly growing with increasing complexity of the employed equipment. At present, more reliable data are gathered by Ocean Bottom Seismometers - autonomous instruments used in long duration seismic surveys. The general idea behind this equipment is that autonomous devices are unable to transmit data in real-time and require offshore operations for periodical deployment. However, the task of a permanent underwater monitoring for seismic events with o...

The study presents the results of the development of low-noise broadband hydrophone based on molecular electronic technology (MET) for mineral exploration systems in transit zones and on the shelf to depths of about 100 meters. The study investigates amplitude-frequency response (AFR), self-noise, dynamic range, and stability of sensor characteristics. The paper provides the results of experimental studies of prototypes in a laboratory and natural conditions in the Kara sea, including a comparison with hydrophones...
