US Patent:

41212908, Oct 17, 1978

Filed:

Apr 18, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/788371

Inventors:

Royce Allen - Centerville UT
Jerry L. Sutton - San Diego CA
Dan M. Griffin - San Diego CA
Hal W. Frye - San Diego CA
Joseph G. Colborn - San Diego CA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

G06G 778
G01H 500
H04B 1300

US Classification:

364565

Abstract:

An analog apparatus for determining the velocity of sound at a selected position in a liquid media is provided with a means for representing the conductivity, temperature, and depth of the position in the form of analog voltages, and is further provided with an analog calculating means receiving each of the voltages for calculating the velocity of sound as a function of conductivity, temperature, and depth. The sound velocity may be calculated at a succession of positions to provide a sound velocity versus depth profile of the liquid media.

Abstract:

A digital apparatus for determining the velocity of sound at a selected position in a liquid media is provided with a means for representing the conductivity, temperature and depth of the position in the form of digital numbers, and provides a digital calculating means receiving each of the digital numbers for calculating the velocity of sound as a function of conductivity, temperature, and depth. The sound velocity may be calculated at a succession of positions to provide sound velocity versus depth profile of the liquid media.

International Classification:

G01S 966

US Classification:

340 5H

Abstract:

An improved method and apparatus for processing electronic signals for use n establishing an improved image display includes storing the electronic and acoustic response of all the detectors in response to impingement thereon by a plane wave-front as stored in a memory. In the operational environment, these stored signals are combined with the transducer response and the signals are combined in such a fashion as to compensate for spatial nonuniformities.
