Abstract: A filter including a piezoelectric substrate; a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device on the piezoelectric substrate and including unequally spaced interdigitated input and output transducer electrodes of unequal widths, wherein the input transducer electrodes are to convert an incoming radio frequency (RF) electrical signal into surface acoustic waves; a SAW propagation path between the input and output transducer electrodes; and a magnetostrictive film in the SAW propagation path to filter the surface acoustic waves that are at a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of the magnetostrictive film, wherein the output transducer electrodes are to convert the filtered surface acoustic waves into an outgoing electrical RF signal. The SAW device may operate in a wide-band pass configuration. The wide-band pass configuration result in a transmission of frequencies up to ?60 dB. The magnetostrictive film may include a ferromagnetic material.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to provide a fairing block that couples a sonar transducer to a hull of a mobile structure. The fairing block includes a leading edge that diverts water and bubbles in the water laterally around the fairing block and the sonar transducer. A bottom of the leading edge provides a substantially undisturbed water flow over a working face of the sonar transducer while the mobile structure is in motion. The bottom of the leading edge may include a curvilinearly chamfered surface that helps prevent cavitation along the working face of the transducer. One or more lateral cutouts are disposed behind the leading edge to expose lateral sides of the sonar transducer to the water. The lateral sides of the sonar transducer may be metallic and exposed to water by the lateral cutouts, thereby dissipating heat generated within the sonar transducer to the water.

Abstract: A radar transmitter for emulsion measurement comprises a probe mountable to a bottom of a vessel and defining a transmission line extending upward into the vessel, in use, for sensing impedance. A pulse circuit is connected to the probe for periodically generating pulses on the transmission line and receiving a reflected signal from the transmission line, each reflected signal comprising a waveform of probe impedance over time. A controller is operatively connected to the pulse circuit and comprises a programmed processor and a memory. The memory stores trace data of a plurality of individual waveforms. The processor is programmed to profile a first section of the waveforms which does not change over time and a second section of the waveforms which changes over time, representing an emulsion moving in the vessel. The controller locates where the waveforms indicates motion to determine emulsion level.

Abstract: In response to detecting a code change request for a particular file of multiple files of a software build during testing, a computer generates a sensitivity rating of the particular file to cause breaks in the software build based on a relative level of failure of the particular file as compared to the multiple files based on one or more factors. The computer outputs a response to the code change request based on the sensitivity rating to one or more integrated development environment interfaces with access to the particular file of the software build. The computer uses the sensitivity rating to determine whether to grant the code change request.

Abstract: In response to detecting a software build break during testing, a change to a particular file committed to the software build that caused the software build to break is identified. A record of the change to the particular file is added to a sensitivity database, the sensitivity database accumulating multiple records of changes to the files of the software build during development of the software build. A relative level of failure of the particular file from the files of the software build based on the record in comparison with the multiple records is calculated. A sensitivity rating of the particular file to cause breaks in the software build based on the relative level of failure of the particular file weighted by one or more factors is generated. The sensitivity rating is output to one or more integrated development environment interfaces with access to the particular file of the software build.
