Abstract: Client-server systems and methods for transferring data via a network, including a wireless network, between a server and one or more clients or browsers that are spatially distributed (i.e., situated at different locations). At least one local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computer. The user interface may be a browser or a thin client.

Abstract: This invention provides an acoustic imaging device in which a large number of transducers are spaced less than a half acoustic wavelength apart on a circle surrounding an object to be imaged. A signal generator generates discrete acoustic frequencies in the range of 100 kHz to 1.5 MHz. Multiplexer systems are provided to permit each transducer, one at a time, to broadcast a signal while the broadcast signal is detected by the other transducers. Electronic equipment records the detected signal and from the recorded information phase and amplitude data is calculated with respect to each transducer location. A computer programmed with an algorithm computes images of slices through the object using the phase and amplitude data. We utilize single frequency, steady-state acoustic signals which enables the accurate determination of the phase and amplitude of the acoustic signals at each receiver transducer.
