    Abstract: An acoustic array including a plurality of acoustic sensors positioned at predetermined telemetry points for measuring the acoustic energy from the surrounding environment. The acoustic sensors are each positioned within a fluid-filled pocket in the acoustic array, wherein each the various fluid-filled pockets are separated from each other by a section of solid fill buoyant material. The sections of solid fill material control the buoyancy of the acoustic array. The acoustic array is surrounded by a longitudinally extending outer hosewall which encloses the acoustic array and forms the fluid-filled pockets between the sections of solid fill material. A strength member is extended longitudinally throughout the length of the acoustic array to provide a load bearing mechanism for distributing longitudinal tensile loads applied to the acoustic array, while support spacers are situated within the acoustic array to provide radial support for the acoustic array. The acoustic array is formed of a lightweight and electrically passive structure which allows water to be used as the fill fluid for the pockets. Using water as the fill fluid provides an environmentally-safe fill fluid having buoyancy characteristics which are not significantly altered by its mixture with water from the surrounding environment should a rupture in the hosewall occur.

    Abstract: A connector having a metal shell which would normally be subject to galvanic action in an underwater environment. The metal shell includes a protective plastic coating of polyphenylene sulfide resin electrodeposited thereon and over a portion of which plastic coating an encapsulating boot is bonded. The arrangement insures that no delamination of the encapsulant will occur due to galvanic reactions.

    Abstract: An autonomous ice penetrator/payload delivery system is provided which, when once launched from its parent vehicle will, upon reaching the surface of the ice automatically right itself to proper orientation with respect to the ice surface for penetration. A modified solid propellant rocket engine is used as the heat source to penetrate the ice rapidly and automatically is ignited upon the ice pentrator/payload containment vessel attaining proper orientation with its longitudinal axis substantially normal to the ice surface. The hot gasses of combustion produced by the modified rocket engine impinge upon the ice thereby melting it. As the ice is melted and penetrated, the penetrator/payload containment vessel will follow the receding ice surface either by gravity, or by motive forces provided by the modified rocket engine, or both. In situations where the ice penetrator is launched below the surface of the ice, buoyancy built into the penetrator system containment vessel will cause it to penetrate the ice either due to its buoyancy alone or in conjunction with a motive force developed by the modified rocket engine. The penetrator system container in conjunction with the bore hole formed by the melting ice also functions as a guide to maintain verticality of the penetrator during the initial stages of penetration of the ice surface. The walls of the subsequent bore hole formed in the ice and the generally long, cylindrical shape of the penetrator/payload containment vessel body naturally coact to maintain the vertical penetration angle.

    Abstract: A uniquely designed acoustic transducer comprising a stack of piezoceramic elements (other piezoelectric materials may be used) mounted upon a tuned, shaped transmit/receive head made of hardened metal alloy. The ceramic stack is preloaded to the head via a stress bolt. Insulator electrodes used in the ceramic stack are selected to minimize compliance in the stack for maximum efficiency. All the material properties, sizes, weights, etc., as well as the overall transducer design are carefully selected to act in combination to match the impedance of the load (i.e. metal structural framework). The diameter of the tip of the tuned, shaped driving head is sized such that when clamped to a metal framework, the base metal of the material just under the tip is compressed to or slightly beyond its yield point. This eliminates the requirement for surface preparation because any coatings will be displaced under the applied pressure and any surface irregularities will be flattened out. The underside of the clamping member used to hold the transducer assembly in place consists of a half wave length reflecting waveguide designed to reflect any absorbed energy back into the load. Thus, the attachment points for both the reflector and the transducer head of the clamping device effectively appear invisible to the driving transducer under load.

    Abstract translation: 一种独特设计的声换能器，其包括安装在由硬化的金属合金制成的调谐的成形的发射/接收头上的压电陶瓷元件（可以使用其它压电材料）的叠层。 陶瓷堆叠通过应力螺栓预载到头部。 选择陶瓷堆叠中使用的绝缘体电极，以最大限度地提高效率。 仔细选择所有材料特性，尺寸，重量等以及整体换能器设计以组合起来以匹配负载（即金属结构框架）的阻抗。 调整好的成形驱动头的尖端的直径的尺寸使得当夹紧到金属框架时，刚好在尖端下方的材料的基底金属被压缩或略微超出其屈服点。 这消除了对表面处理的要求，因为任何涂层将在施加的压力下移位，并且任何表面的不规则性将被平坦化。 用于将换能器组件固定就位的夹紧构件的下侧由半波长反射波导组成，其被设计成将任何吸收的能量反射回负载。 因此，夹持装置的反射器和换能器头的附接点在负载下对于驱动换能器有效地看不见。
