Title: Virtual time reversal acoustics for structural health monitoring
Inventor: DUNNE JAMES P
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2008-07-09
Abstract: A signal 502 having a frequency range is sent into a structure in a vehicle (e.g. aircraft, car, tank, ship, submarine, spacecraft) from a fixed transmitter to form an original transmitted signal. A response 604 to the original transmitted signal is received at a fixed sensor associated with the structure to form a received response. The received response is reversed. The reversed response 606 is processed using a transfer function to simulate propagation of the reversed response from the fixed sensor to the fixed transmitter to form a simulated time reversed response 608. The simulated time reversed response is a simulation of a response of the fixed transmitter to receiving the reversed response from the fixed sensor. The simulated time reversed response is analyzed to monitor for anomalies associated with the structure. The transfer function may be formed by sending a wideband signal into the structure which encompasses all frequency ranges used to monitor the structure, and receiving a test response to the wideband signal from which the transfer function is determined.

Title: Data compression using a predictor filter and a plurality of variable-length codes selected based on the proportion of zeros in the data
Inventor: WEZELENBURG MARTINUS CORNELIS
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2008-12-01
Abstract: A data compressor for compressing a data signal and a corresponding data decompressor are disclosed. Input data is sent through a high pass predictor filter (10) which generates a signal having a lower entropy. The filtered signal is then sent to encoder (20) but it is also sent via a loop where a control signal for the encoder is generated. The loop comprises a zero count device (30) which generates a signal representative of the proportion of zeros in the filtered signal. The control signal passes through a delay element (35) to a sigma delta generator (40), which generates a control signal having the same average value as the signal it receives but switches between two levels. The two levels are used by the encoder to determine which of the plurality of variable-length compression codes to use to compress the filtered signal. Applications include processing of video and graphics data.
