| A method for determining the location of a transmitter (respectively a receiver) in a space defined by one or more reflective surfaces, including the steps of sending a signal from the transmitter (respectively from a set of transmitters); receiving by a set of receivers (respectively by a receiver) the transmitted signal and echoes of the transmitted signal reflected by the reflective surfaces; finding by a first computing module the location of the virtual sources (respectively virtual receivers) of the echoes; mirroring by a second computing module the virtual sources (respectively virtual receivers) into the space and obtained mirrored virtual sources (respectively mirrored virtual receivers); combining by a third computing module the mirrored virtual sources (respectively mirrored virtual receivers) so as to obtain location of the transmitter (respectively the receiver). This method makes use of echoes for localizing the source (respectively receiver) when there is no line of sight between the transmitter(s) and the receiver(s). | ||||||

| A scene is reconstructed by transmitting pulses into a scene from an array of transmitters so that only one pulse is transmitted by one transmitter at any one time. The one pulse is reflection by the scene and received as a set of signals. Each signal is sampled and decomposed to produce frequency coefficients stacked in a set of linear systems modeling a reflectivity of the scene. Then, a reconstruction method is applied to the set of linear systems. The reconstruction method solves each linear system separately to obtain corresponding solutions, which are shared and combined to reconstruct the scene. | ||||||

| Dynamic characteristics of a liquid surface (160) are measured by sending acoustic signals (140) to or more target areas (162a-162c) on the liquid surface and receiving said acoustic signals (150a-150c) after reflection from the target area. The detected signals are processed to measure phase shift between the sent and received acoustic signals, the measured phase shift varying over time. The varying phase shift is used to indicate fluctuations over time in the local height of the liquid surface in the target area. The liquid may be water, effluent etc. flowing in a channel or conduit. With suitable calibration, the measured height fluctuations can be used to infer flow characteristics such as surface roughness, wave height, flow depth, flow velocity, volumetric flow rate, shear stress, sediment transport. Using an array of receivers and target areas, additional spatial and temporal characteristics of the surface and the flow can be measured. | ||||||

| 152 | Acoustic method and device for distance measurement | US10656655 | 2003-09-05 | US06836449B2 | 2004-12-28 | Alexander M. Raykhman; David I. Freger; Boris Sherman |
| An acoustic method for measuring of a distance between an emitter of acoustic energy and a target object provides for an accurate measurement by having the measurement's outcome invariant to the speed of sound variations along the acoustical path between the emitter and the target. A plurality of emitters and a plurality of receivers are used in the invention. One acoustic emitter and one receiver are located in a spatial region such that the sent and the reflected acoustical energy passes along substantially same vertical line between the emitter and the target. Another acoustic emitter sends the acoustical energy at an angled direction to the same area on the target's reflecting surface as the first emitter does. The corresponding echo travels to another receiver. During the measurement, two specific variables are being monitored such that possible variations of the speed of sound are irrelevant to the result of the distance measurement. | ||||||

| An acoustic method for measuring of a distance between an emitter of acoustic energy and a target object provides for an accurate measurement by having the measurement's outcome invariant to the speed of sound variations along the acoustical path between the emitter and the target. One emitter (40) and one receiver are located in a spatial region such that the sent and the reflected acoustic energy passes along substantially the same vertical line between the emitter and the target (12). Another emitter (48) sends acoustic energy at an angled direction to the same area (10) on the target's reflecting surface as the first emitter does. The corresponding echo travels to another receiver (52). The sought distance between the first emitter and the target's reflecting area is calculated by a function of the radio between the travel time measurements, whereby, possible variations of the speed of sound to the result of the distance calculations are irrelevant. | ||||||
