  • Method of and apparatus for radiant energy measurement of impedance transitions in media, for identification and related purposes
    Patent number: 4168484
    Abstract: This disclosure deals with measuring either discontinuous or continuous impedance transitions in various media to identify or delineate the properties and nature thereof by transmitting radiant energy waves to such media to produce reflected waves therefrom, deconvoluting the outgoing and returning waves, and integrating the resulting reflection impulse-response function so as to enable appropriate interpretation of the resulting display for identification and related purposes.

  • Method and apparatus for measurement of acoustic impedance transitions in media such as human bodies
    Patent number: 4094304
    Abstract: Acoustic impedance transitions in human or animal bodies or other media are measured for identification and diagnostic purposes by exposing the body to acoustic energy pulses to produce echo pulses which are detected. The echo pulses are processed to indicate the relative specific acoustic impedance of the exposed body as a function of the time/distance relationship of the echo pulses relative to the medium, thereby to enable the determination of the relative extent and position of irregularities in the body, for example.
