Patent number: 7894307Abstract: An acoustic projector which includes an outer shell formed of a reinforced epoxy resin having a longitudinal slot has an inner reinforcing liner formed of metal to reduce mechanical stress. The liner extends throughout the length of the outer shell and has a longitudinal slot aligned with the slot formed in the shell. An arcuate shaped driver is mounted along a portion of the I.D. of the metal liner and separated therefrom by insulation. In an alternate embodiment, the outer shell is formed of a plurality of overlapping layers of epoxy/graphite strips extending at various angles to increase the Z-axis stiffness.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Jason W. Osborn, Matthew M. DeAngelis

Patent number: 7483339Abstract: An underwater acoustic projector comprising one or more cylindrical shell segments (8), each shell segment (8) having an even number of drivers (10) mounted therein, and the method of manufacturing said projector. The shell segments (8) preferably are formed with a longitudinal slot (14) and have arcuate segments (16), preferably of a dielectric material extending along the sides of the slot (14) for retaining the drivers (10) within the shell segments (8). The combined lengths of the driver is between 70% and 90% of the shell segment (8) length.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2004Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Matthew M. Deangelis, Jason W. Osborn

Patent number: 6956792Abstract: A honeycomb-like shell is provided for an acoustic projector used in sonar applications to increase the bandwidth of the projector, reduce its weight, and to provide increased power density and reduced shell costs. The shell has outer and inner layers, with the honeycomb structure therebetween. The honeycomb shells have application in slotted cylindrical projectors, flextensional projectors, inverse flex tensional projectors, and oval-shaped projectors in which the honeycomb structure replaces the solid shells, with the honeycomb providing the relatively high specific stiffness required for the acoustic properties of the projector. The honeycomb shell achieves the same bending stiffness of the solid shells with less weight through the utilization of radial stiffeners between the inner and outer layers.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2002Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Jason W. Osborn, Charles P. Wason, Jr., William S. McNary

Patent number: 6643222Abstract: A flextensional transducer projector shell design is disclosed. The shell design has a shape formed so as to reduce the stress placed on the transduction driver as compared to other shell designs. The shell design includes first and second bulbous end portions, which can each be adapted to receive a respective end of a transduction driver. A middle portion of the shell design has both concave sections and convex sections, thereby defining a wave profile.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration INCInventors: Jason W. Osborn, Matthew M. DeAngelis, Jeffrey J. Enos
