Patent NZ-591856-A (NZ)
Title: An acoustic transducer for swath beams using a semi-cylindrical concave radiation surface
Inventor: STYTSENKO EUGENE
IPC: G01S15/00
Filed: 2009-08-20
Abstract: 591856 Disclosed is an underwater swath beam acoustic transducer (100) for projecting far-field acoustic swath beams (108) through water. The transducer (100) is comprised of an array of active acoustic elements (104) that are arranged to collectively provide an elongate concave radiation surface (106) with an associated acoustic aperture (112). Each active acoustic element (104) is operable to project an individual acoustic beam from the radiation surface (106) toward a near-field focal zone of the transducer (100). The transducer (100) also has a control system that is electrically connected to the active acoustic elements (104). The control system is configured to generate electrical driving signals to drive each of the active acoustic elements (104) so as to project far-field acoustic swath beams (108) through water from the transducer (100). The far-field acoustic swath beams (108) are each a superposition of all of the individual acoustic beams such that in the far-field beyond the focal zone the acoustic swath beams (108) have a wide field view in a plane that is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the radiation surface (106) and an acoustic intensity that is substantially uniform across the field of view (FOV). The control system is further configured to receive and process electrical signals from the active acoustic elements (104) that are generated in response to reflected swath beams received by the radiation surface (106).

Title: Extensible flexible hose, and method and production line for continuously manufacturing thereof
Inventor: MEZZALIRA ALESSANDRO
IPC: F16L11/08
Filed: 2015-12-18
Abstract: Extensible hoses comprising an integrated coil are difficult to manufacture and impractical to use, as it is difficult to roll such a hose on a reel. The hose of this invention is manufactured without a coil to overcome such difficulties. The hose comprises at least one inner layer (10) and one outer layer (20) made of elastic polymeric material; at least one textile reinforcement layer (30, 40) interposed between said at least one inner and outer layers (10, 20). The inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) are reciprocally coupled to form a unitary tubular member (50) internally to which the textile reinforcement layer (30, 40) is embedded. The unitary tubular member (50) has an elasticity such to automatically elongate upon the working pressure given by the liquid flowing therethrough to increase its original length and such to automatically recover once the working pressure stops. The textile reinforcement layer (30, 40) is susceptible to move from a rest configuration that has when the working pressure stops to a working configuration that has when said unitary tubular member (50) elongates upon the working pressure and vice-versa. The unity tubular member and the textile reinforcement layer cooperate so that under a working pressure of 2 bar the hose increases its length to at least 1.5 times its original length.
