| 223 | Charge sharing analog computation circuitry and applications | US14043009 | 2013-10-01 | US09312831B2 | 2016-04-12 | Eric Nestler; Vladimir Zlatkovic; Jeffrey Venuti |
| In one aspect, reduced power consumption and/or circuit area of a discrete time analog signal processing module is achieved in an approach that makes use of entirely, or largely, passive charge sharing circuitry, which may include configurable (e.g., after fabrication, at runtime) multiplicative scaling stages that do not require active devices in the signal path. In some examples, multiplicative coefficients are represented digitally, and are transformed to configure the reconfigurable circuitry to achieve a linear relationship between a desired coefficient and a degree of charge transfer. In some examples, multiple successive charge sharing phases are used to achieve a desired multiplicative effect that provides a large dynamic range of coefficients without requiring a commensurate range of sizes of capacitive elements. The scaling circuits can be combined to form configurable time domain or frequency domain filters. | ||||||

| A vehicle acoustic control device includes: a plurality of speakers disposed on a periphery of a passenger; and a controller that controls a sound field in a vehicle cabin by individually driving the plurality of speakers. The controller rotates and displaces the sound field in a direction opposite to a changing direction of a vehicle behavior. At this time, when a frequency at a time of change of the vehicle behavior is higher than a predetermined frequency, the controller changes the sound field in the vehicle cabin in the direction opposite to the changing direction of the vehicle behavior, and increases a variation of the sound field as a variation of the vehicle behavior is being larger. | ||||||

| 229 | Apparatus and method for orthosonic lift by deflection | US14194761 | 2014-03-02 | US08967965B1 | 2015-03-03 | David A Colasante |
| An apparatus and method for providing orthosonic lift by deflection includes a support surface and a wing surface in close proximity to the support surface. The space between the support surface and the wing surface defines a volume of air. An orthosonic lift generator causes the oscillating movement of air in the volume parallel to the wing surface. The oscillating movement of air results in a static air pressure on the wing surface of less than the ambient air pressure, resulting in a net force acting on the wing member. | ||||||
| 230 | Acoustic Reflectors | US13808491 | 2011-07-11 | US08910743B2 | 2014-12-16 | Carl Peter Tiltman; Andrew Malcolm Tulloch |
| An acoustic reflector primarily for underwater use comprising a shell surrounding a core in which holes are provided in the shell to allow air and water freely to enter and leave the interior of the shell when the reflector is immersed in water. Various embodiments are described including the use of a metal shell matched to a water core, the use of a mounting bar, provision of a frame to reflect acoustically alpha numeric characters, a soluble plug to delay operation of the reflector, and coating the reflector with polyurethane to limit damage. Also proposed is a pulse pattern to improve the identification of an acoustic reflector in some circumstances. Designs of reflectors particularly suitable for use with the relatively low frequency sonars found in the fishing industry with an aluminum or aluminum alloy shell are described, as are reflectors with a non-metal shell suitable for use with the higher frequency sonars in the underwater exploration industry. The reflectors can be spherical, toroidal, ovoid, or cylindrical provided that they have at least on circular cross section. A particularly important development with the current invention is the ability to mark and trace underwater non-ferromagnetic pipes. | ||||||

| 233 | RECONSTRUCTION OF NONLINEAR WAVE PROPAGATION | US13865957 | 2013-04-18 | US20140016183A1 | 2014-01-16 | Jason W. Fleischer; Christopher Barsi; Wenjie Wan |
| Disclosed are systems and methods for characterizing a nonlinear propagation environment by numerically propagating a measured output waveform resulting from a known input waveform. The numerical propagation reconstructs the input waveform, and in the process, the nonlinear environment is characterized. In certain embodiments, knowledge of the characterized nonlinear environment facilitates determination of an unknown input based on a measured output. Similarly, knowledge of the characterized nonlinear environment also facilitates formation of a desired output based on a configurable input. In both situations, the input thus characterized and the output thus obtained include features that would normally be lost in linear propagations. Such features can include evanescent waves and peripheral waves, such that an image thus obtained are inherently wide-angle, farfield form of microscopy. | ||||||
