  • Laboratory experiment data exploration and visualization
    Patent number: 11955207
    Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for data analysis of experimental data. The analysis can include reference data that are not directly generated from the present experiment, which reference data may be values of the experimental parameters that were either provided by a user, computed by the system with input from a user, or computed by the system without using any input from a user. Another example of such reference data may be information about the instrument, such as the calibration method of the instrument.

  • Underwater electroacoustic transducers
    Patent number: 5099461
    Abstract: The FLEXBAR is a sonar transducer element that is basically a piezoceramic "free-free" flexure bar, but modified so as to radiate as a "monopole" rather than as a "dipole", and retaining the unique properties of being nodally mounted and dynamically balanced. One of the important consequences of this simple modification is the fact that the reaction forces on the FLEXBAR mountings and, the concomitant structure-borne vibrations, are virtually eliminated. This property, and related properties, result in unexpected but significant improvement in the performance of low-frequency, high-power, board-band sonar transducer arrays.

  • Visual examination apparatus
    Patent number: RE28921
    Abstract: An automated visual examination apparatus for measuring visual sensitivity and mapping blind spot location including a projection system for displaying to a patient a series of visual stimuli, a response switch enabling him to indicate his reaction to the stimuli, and a recording system responsive to both the visual stimuli per se and the patient's responses, the recording system thereby providing a correlated permanent record of both stimuli and response from which a substantive and readily apparent visual evaluation can be made.
