    摘要: The invention is a method for improved active sonar using a singular value decomposition filtering and a Volterra-Hermite Basis Expansion to model real active sonar measurements. The fitting model minimizes the sum of the squared errors between a measured channel response, z(t), and model response, y(t), which is a fitted Volterra Series solution. The model requires as input an excitation waveform, x(t), to which is fitted the model response, y(t). A contracted broadband cross-ambiguity function is used to correct the excitation waveform for Doppler and range effects. Once completed, the modeled response can be used to determine the linearity or non-linearity of the channel effects. Appropriate measures can be utilized to reduce these effects on the measured channel response.

    摘要: A fault detection system designed to evaluate the structural integrity of a material employs an array of sensors disposed over the material being evaluated. The sensors detect vibrations in the material and the sensor signals are fed to a data processor. The processor employs a method to analyze the linear and nonlinear characteristics of the sensor signals and then determines whether to proceed with a linear signal processing analysis or a nonlinear signal processing analysis of the sensor signals. Once the analysis is completed, the results are compared to baseline results to determine what if any divergence exists between the results and the baseline results. A significant divergence indicates a potential material failure. The fault detection system will indicate such a potential failure through a visual alarm on a graphical user interface.

    摘要: The present invention provides novel chimeric and fusion proteins useful for facilitating site-specific integration of foreign DNA into a host genome. The chimeric enzymes of the invention comprise a DNA binding moiety fused to a retroviral integrase moiety, preferably at the precise N- or C-terminus. Nucleic acids encoding these fusion proteins can be incorporated into standard retroviral vectors, or can be provided as purified proteins. They are capable of exerting the activities of a wildtype retroviral integrase, including processing retroviral DNA termini, nicking double-stranded DNA and integrating a DNA molecule with processed retroviral termini into another DNA strand.

    摘要: A method of detecting the onset of turbulence in connection with a body mng through a fluid medium and of reducing body drag and as well reducing the amount of drag noise radiated from the body. First, the body is supplied with sensors each for generating a signal suitable for measuring amplitude of pressure fluctuations of the medium proximate a region of said sidewall of the body in at least a region of the body in which turbulence is expected to occur. During a reference stage during which the body moves through the fluid medium when it is known that turbulence is occurring around at least a portion of said body, the sensors each generate reference temporal pressure data representing fluctuations in pressure of the fluid medium around said body. In response to reference temporal pressure data generated by sensors in a turbulence zone at which turbulence is occurring and sensors in a transition zone between the turbulence zone and a laminar flow zone, method-of-delay phase portraits are generated for a progression of selected delay intervals. During an operational stage, the signals from the sensors are filtered to generate a portion representing the turbulence due to motion of the body through the medium and a portion representing signals from external acoustic signal sources, and the turbulence signal portion is used to generate signals of appropriate phase which are injected into the medium to reduce the turbulence noise signals and thereby reduce drag on the body due to the medium.

    摘要: A nonlinear signal processing system and method is used to identify nonlinearity (e.g., chaos) in underwater acoustic signals, such as sonar signals. The system and method detects the underwater acoustic signal and digitizes the underwater acoustic signal to produce an acoustic time series. The acoustic time series is reconstructed using a phase space embedding algorithm to generate a phase space embedded acoustic signal. A differential radius signal is generated from the phase space embedded acoustic signal using chaotic radius computations and differential radius computations. Thresholds can be detected in the differential radius signal to reveal nonlinear or chaotic events hidden in the underwater acoustic signal.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for identifying the timing of the onset of and duion of an event characteristic of sleep breathing disorder. Chaotic processing techniques analyze data concerning one or more cardio-respiratory functions such as nasal air flow, chest wall effort, oxygen saturation, heart rate and heart activity. Excursions of the resulting signal beyond a threshold provide markers for the timing of such an event that is useful in the diagnosis of obstructed sleep apnea and other respiratory dysfunctions.
