Abstract: A multi-staged missile includes a booster and a submunition delivery vehicle that has one or more submunitions. The booster rapidly accelerates the submunition vehicle, and then separates from the submunition vehicle. The submunition delivery vehicle is then maneuvered to approach a target. Individual submunitions finally separate, and are individually guided to the target. By providing multiple, independently-targeted submunitions, the missile greatly increases the chances of hitting the target.

Abstract: A hybrid sinusoidal/pulse excitation encoder has been recently proposed for constructing a scalable audio encoder The base layer consisting of data supplied by the sinusoidal encoder retains the main features of the input signal achieving medium to high quality audio at a very low bit rate. Quality can be further enhanced by adding excitation signal layers associated with a decreasing decimation that increasingly model more subtle aspects of the original signal. The invention provides a method of mixing the different excitation signal layers so that the full concept of scalability is realised without compromising the quality of the encoded signals. The mixing is controlled via a quality parameter that weights the significance of previous layers when constructing a new higher layer.

The enhancement agent comprises a discontinuous phase comprised of a core material encapsulated by a membrane-forming material and a continuous phase comprising of aqueous medium. The discontinuous phase is uniformly dispersed in the continuous phase and the particle size of the discontinuous phase ranges from 0.1-8µm; the amount of the membrane-forming material in the enhancement agent is 0.1-100g/L; the core material is comprised of a liquid that does not undergo a liquid-gas phase transition at 38-100°C, and the amount of core material in the enhancement agent is 5-200g/L. The particle enhancement agent for HIFU treatment of the present invention can significantly change the acoustic environment of the target location and can increase acoustic energy deposition at the target location during HIFU treatment. Eventually, the ability of clinical HIFU treatment to ablate tumor cells can be significantly improved. Accordingly, the present invention discloses use of a particle enhancement agent for HIFU treatment during HIFU treatment.
