    摘要: A method and apparatus is taught for a signal processing breakthrough that significantly alleviates the “Curse of Dimensionality” (COD) in the characterization of nonlinear physical systems; namely, the reduction in the number of coefficients used to describe the higher order (i.e., nonlinear) kernels in the Volterra series expansion. The latter technique provides the means to evaluate simultaneously from a wide band excitation, all the inter-modulation products up to a specified order by greatly reducing the number of coefficients in the higher order kernel estimation to a manageable set that can be easily manipulated by current personal computers used to enhance a finite element (FE) model that generates a bio-inspired acoustic transducer model.

    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 invention as disclosed is an underwater based electric energy production system. A cable having a piezoelectric core is attached on one end thereof to a floating buoy and on the other end thereof to an anchor. The system is deployed in the water such that the cable extends vertically through a water column. Movement of the cable due to water current generates electric power that can be harvested and stored. The floating buoy can be at or near the water's surface and the anchor can but need not rest on the sea floor.

    摘要: A target for a test range includes an impact plate having at least three strain sensors positioned on the plate. The sensors are connected to a data acquisition board for receiving a signal from each sensor upon impact of a projectile on the plate. The data acquisition board is joined to a processor for calculating impact location and energy. Optionally multiple sensors can be provided having different orientations for accounting for different strain components in the plate.

    摘要: A projectile impact energy and location measurement system is taught employing a target apparatus having an impact plate of a solid durable substance such as steel or titanium. Disposed over the plate is a layer of elastoluminescent material composed of zinc sulfide and manganese embedded in an elastomeric composite. This luminescent material is designed to emit light or exhibit luminescence when elastically strained, for example when a projectile strikes the material. Optical photosensitive sensors are deployed at strategic locations to observe and record color images of the target before during and after impact by a projectile. These images capture the target luminescence and impact location of the projectile. The images are transmitted to a traditional image processing system that can isolate the impact location and correlate the light wave length with a known kinetic energy value that was obtained through initial calibration of the system.
