101 | Signal detecting circuit | US756613 | 1976-12-23 | US4498052A | 1985-02-05 | Noel O. Fothergill |
A time averaging circuit which increases significantly the signal to noise ratio of a received signal. The output of a multiplier which provides near D.C. signals with the noise is fed to a metal core transformer through an operational amplifier. The secondary winding output of the transformer is partly subtracted from the input in the operational amplifier, enhancing the D.C.-like signal components. Time integration via the feed back loop results in the A.C. noise components being relatively reduced in amplitude. The A.C. noise components from the secondary of the transformer and the output of the operational amplifier are subtracted in a second operational amplifier, the output signal of which has substantially increased signal to noise ratio. A pre-processing circuit includes a multiplier which multiplies the received signal with a narrow band-width portion thereof, tuned to the signal frequency, which enriches the near D.C. energy. | ||||||
102 | Digital homodyne processing system | US89930 | 1979-10-31 | US4280202A | 1981-07-21 | Roger F. Koppelmann |
A digital homodyne processing system is disclosed and includes a hydrophone, a preamplifier for amplifying the hydrophone output signal, a heterodyne circuit and a low-pass filter for filtering the amplified hydrophone output, and a digital-to-analog converter. The output of the digital-to-analog converter is compared against sine and cosine references and is integrated as a function of the sine and cosine references. The integration results are processed for detection of a coded waveform. | ||||||
103 | Method and apparatus for delay analysis of energy transmitted through a medium | US39154 | 1979-05-15 | US4279019A | 1981-07-14 | Richard C. Heyser |
A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining the manner by which an initial injection of wave energy is modified by a medium under test using a time delay spectrometer (TDS) and a fast Fourier transform (FFT). A switch allows either the time delay spectrum or an energy-time curve to be displayed. A differentiator at the input of the FFT corrects for inverse square loss of energy through the medium, i.e., compensates for spherical expansion of energy. Different arrangements of the TDS adapt the system to a medium having variable time delay, or adapt the system for measurement of harmonic distortion through the medium. | ||||||
104 | Ultrasonic nondestructive testing method | US64925 | 1979-08-08 | US4253337A | 1981-03-03 | Carmine F. Vasile |
Disclosed is a method for evaluating a discontinuity in an object. As used to measure the depth of a surface discontinuity in a plate type of object, the method includes the steps of generating a horizontally polarized shear wave in the object directed substantially along the axis of the discontinuity, passing the generated wave through an aperture to diffract the wave prior to its arrival at the discontinuity, detecting the wave after it has propagated through the discontinuity, and calculating the depth of the discontinuity by correlating the phase and amplitude of the detected wave to the phase and amplitude of a similar wave propagated in a region of the object which is free of discontinuities. | ||||||

106 | Method of and apparatus for sonar and related signal texture enhancement of recording media | US520788 | 1974-11-04 | US3975704A | 1976-08-17 | Martin Klein |
This invention provides two dramatic improvements in the state of the art of side scan sonar systems and the like, bringing out the fine details of the sonar signals to enhance the texture of the sonar charts and to improve the quality and interpretability of the sonar records, while additionally bringing the sonar signals into the dynamic range of the recording medium in such a way that the tuning of the sonar instrument is greatly simplified and, in many situations, may be run continuously with no operator's adjustment of the instrument controls. These ends are attained through a novel compressed-signal absolute value smoothing and derivative processing, with dynamic range matching to the recording medium. | ||||||

Then, the control portion is configured to, upon determining that the Doppler signal is outputted, extend the detection mode and cause the moving body determination portion to operate, and upon determining that the Doppler signal is not outputted, switch to the halt mode. | ||||||

115 | DISTANCE ESTIMATION USING SOUND SIGNALS | EP11723702.4 | 2011-05-13 | EP2572212A1 | 2013-03-27 | LAMB, William, J.; AARTS, Ronaldus, M. |
An apparatus comprises a test signal generator (401) which generates an ultrasonic test signal by modulating an audio band test signal on an ultrasonic signal. The ultrasonic test signal is radiated from a parametric loudspeaker (403) and is demodulated by non-linearities in the air. A reflected audio signal may arise from reflections of an object, such as a wall. An audio band sensor (405) generates an audio band captured signal which comprises the demodulated reflected audio band signal. A distance circuit (407) then generates a distance estimate for the distance from the parametric loudspeaker (403) to the object in response to a comparison of the audio band captured signal and the audio band test signal. Specifically two signals may be correlated to determine a delay corresponding to the full path length. Based on the distance estimates an audio environment may be estimated and a sound system may be adapted accordingly. | ||||||

119 | System and method for measuring ice thickness | EP87305987.7 | 1987-07-07 | EP0298165A1 | 1989-01-11 | Pridham, Roger G., |
Sonar ice thickness measurement comprises transmitting an AM and subsequent CW sonic radiant energy signals (13,30) from a high frequency sonar transducer (11) in the water (12) toward the sonic signal reflecting ice cap (19). Reflection (30ʹ) of the CW signal (30) from the water-ice interface (18) and reflection (15ʹ) from the water-air interface (16) of the modulating frequency (15), generated by non-linear of parametric effects in the water (12) by the modulated transmit signal (13), causes the CW signal (30) to be modulated to generate side bands at the modulating frequency on each side of the carrier frequency to provide an FM high frequency signal (27), received by the transducer (11). Detection of the FM signal (27) determines the time of arrival of the echo of said detected FM signal (27) relative to the detection of the reflected modulated signal (14) from the water-ice interface (18). The time difference (TT) between the detected signals (14ʹ,27ʹ) and an assumed value of the speed (CICE) of sound through the ice (19) give the thickness (D) of the ice cap (19). |
