ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,529,818, issued on Jan. 20, was assigned to Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China).

"Randomly distributed tensor resistivity measurement method and system" was invented by Jiaxin Wang (Hangzhou, China) and Bangbing Wang (Hangzhou, China).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed is a randomly distributed tensor resistivity measurement method and system. In the method, electrode deployment can be randomly arranged based on site-specific grounding conditions. The current supply station sequentially energizes two orthogonal current injection channels, while all potential measurement stations simultaneously and in parallel acquire potential dif...
