  • Publication number: 20230277155
    Abstract: A non-Hermitian complementary metamaterial (NHCMM). Acoustic transmission systems including an acoustic wave generator configured to generate an acoustic wave and propagate the acoustic wave through a tissue of a specimen, and the NHCMM, which is configured to add a first amount of energy amplification coherently to the acoustic wave to account for energy loss in the acoustic wave as a result of the wave propagating through the tissue of the specimen. The acoustic wave generator can be an ultrasound generator, and the tissue can be a cranium.

  • Publication number: 20180351656
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for acoustic transmission and reception. Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for acoustic transmission and reception. Methods may include receiving, at a first communications interface, a plurality of data values for transmission, and generating, using one or more processors, a plurality of data patterns based on the received data, each of the plurality of data patterns corresponding to one of a plurality of orbital angular momentum (OAM) topological charges of an acoustic signal transmitted from a transducer array. The methods may also include generating, using one or more processors, a transmission signal based on a combination of the plurality of data patterns, and transmitting, using the transducer array, the acoustic signal based, at least in part, on the transmission signal.
