    摘要: An array system, which provides a unipolar acoustic impulse with a broad spectral response underwater, utilizes a vertical array of airgun or electrical spark sources whose individual peak source strengths are essentially constant over the array length, but whose individual source periods vary with depth. The array of sources produces in each instance a near-unipolar, impulsive signature with a broad pedestal-like spectrum. The system may be used for underwater object location and also for seismic exploration.

    摘要: An improved acoustic source array system is provided by the invention to generate acoustic signals underwater. The system has an array of acoustic signal sources, such as air guns, towable while underwater behind a surface vessel. The array includes a plurality of these sources, and spreader bar assemblies including these sources. The sources are attached by these assemblies at predetermined separation distances in the array. The spreader bar assemblies provide manifolds for storing and regulating energy, such as compressed air, to operate the sources. The array is connected to the vessel by an umbilical. The sources are controlled by a shipboard controller for firing the sources to provide acoustic signals underwater at selected times. The array may be towed from the ship with the flat side of the array assuming an angle of approximately 45.degree. or less with respect to a vertical axis. The flat side of the array includes a horizontal axis that is normal to the direction of tow. A drum on the ship stows the spreader bar assembles on flanges of the drum in successive layers and enables the array to be deployed.

    摘要: A signal processing system of reduced complexity over conventional banks of matched filters for each Doppler velocity of interest is responsive to a transmission which is in the form of a train of repeated Doppler invariant signals which are preferably phase continuous. The system utilizes a head end zero Doppler correlator and tapped delay line summer with summing nodes in cascade for each Doppler velocity of interest. The summer provides coherent sums indicative of the Doppler velocity of the target.

    摘要: An electromagnetically actuated friction welder produces orbital motion at interfaces between parts (usually of thermoplastic material) to bond the parts by fusion generated by friction. This welder can also be operated alternatively to produce reciprocating vibratory forces thereby providing flexibility as to the selection of an orbital or reciprocating mode, depending upon the joint to be welded. The velocity of motion is controllable preferably around the resonant frequency of the driven structure by adjusting the frequency of the AC power which operates the electromagnetic drive motor of the welder. A plate which carries one of the parts to be welded and which is driven is flexurally mounted for movement in an orbital plane or planes containing the interfaces without substantial tilting by an array of stiff members, such as rods, located around the drive motor, attached to the plate at one end and to a tubular structure at the opposite ends thereof. The tubular structure is desirably attached to a massive support carried by the frame of the welder.

    摘要: An array of optical waveguide transducers, especially suitable for use in a multi-channel hydrophone seismic streamer, contains optical waveguides which are deformed in response to the parameter being sensed (underwater acoustic energy in the case of the seismic streamer). Two optical signals are obtained from each transducer, amplitude modulated in opposite polarity in accordance with the parameter and returned to a collection point by way of optical signal highways, such as optical fiber waveguides. The optical signals are time division multiplexed on the return highways by successively providing light pulses to each of the transducers upon activation of separate light sources associated therewith which are electrically activated by electrical signals propagated along a transmission line wherein the electrical signals are successively delayed. The optical signals on the return waveguides appear in time slots corresponding to the successive delays and may be sequentially interrogated at a rate compatible with the frequency response of the array system. At the collection point, the outputs of the return waveguides are subtracted thereby summing the optical signals from each transducer, while reducing noise introduced into the system as may be due both to variations in the amplitude of the light from the sources and mechanically due to deformation or bending of the optical waveguides other than in response to the parameter being sensed.

    摘要: Target velocity and range are measured with high resolution in an echo ranging system (sonar or radar) using composite Doppler invariant signals consisting of at least two segments, such as "rooftop" or "vee" HFM signals, such composite signals having ambiguity functions that intersect along the zero-velocity time axis with ridge lines slanted in different directions. A single correlator is used for each segment wherein returns from the target are correlated with replicas of each segment of the composite signal to separately transform the Doppler frequency shifts of the target return into outputs whose time relationship provides a frame of reference for high resolution measurement of the velocity of the target. The time relationship measurement is implemented by a set of tapped delay lines and coherent summers which output a coherent correlation-like detection peak in a bin which corresponds to the target's velocity. Thus, one correlator for each transmission segment together with a tapped delay line and summer network may be used for velocity detection, with high precision range detection, based upon the timing of the detection peak with respect to the transmitted signal, also being implemented at the same time, thereby avoiding the classical need for an expensive bank of correlators (one for each velocity bin) and yielding significant economies for the simultaneous high resolution measurement of range and velocity for a target by means of echo ranging.
