An underwater robot is one of the important ocean equipment, and especially its stealth performance has influenced on the vitality in naval warfare. Structure radiation noise as the main source of underwater robot noise, so analysis on vibration and noise radiation is a topic of great concern. The way is used widely that based on fluid-solid coupling modal analysis combined with simulation on v...

We present the use of an accessible micromachining technique (acoustic micromachining) for manufacturing micron-feature surfaces with non-discretely varying depth. Acoustic micromachining allows for non-photolithographic production of metal templates with programmable spatial patterns and involves the use of standard acoustic, cutting and electroplating equipment for mass production of vinyl re...

This paper explores architecture, research challenges and potential applications for underwater sensor networks. Sensor networks have the promise of revolutionizing many areas of science, industry, and government with their ability to bring computation and sensing into the physical world. This report summarizes our research directions in underwater sensor networks. We highlight potential applic...

A novel method of performing acoustic echo cancelling using microphone arrays is presented. The method employs a digital self-calibrating microphone system. The calibration process is a simple indirect on-site calibration that adapts to the particulars of the acoustic environment and the electronic equipment in use. Primarily intended for handsfree telephones in automobiles, the method simultan...

The acoustic time history of the sun’s surface is a stochastic t x y -cube of information. Helioseismologists cross-correlate these noise traces to produce impulse response seismograms, providing the proof of concept for a long-standing geophysical conjecture. We pack the x y -mesh of time series into a single super-long one-dimensional time series. We apply Kolmogoroff spectral factorization t...

The acoustic environment of a typical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is highly diverse and may contain a large number of sounds coming from numerous sources, such as alarm sounds generated by di erent biomedical equipment, noisy mechanical ventilation, telephone ring sound and people conversations. Various acoustic events are usually taking place simultaneously in a NICU and the maximum re...

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (1) The reader will be able to describe the major types of acoustic analysis available for the study of speech, (2) specify the components needed for a modern speech analysis laboratory, including equipment for recording and analysis, and (3) list possible measurements for various aspects of phonation, articulation and resonance, as they might be manifest in neurologicall...
