An ultrasound imaging system exploiting transducers and multiplexers on a flexible substrate together with a log-delta CMOS ADC

npj Flexible Electronics
Ultrasound (US) imaging is a fundamental tool in healthcare for the diagnosis of diverse conditions. Wearable, flexible ultrasound patches could expand the scope of US imaging to continuous, at-home monitoring without professional intervention, but ...

Numerical Insights Into the Resistance Reduction Mechanisms of Forward Tapered Transoms in High‐Speed Catamaran: A Computational Fluid Dynamics‐Based Study

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the hydrodynamic influence of forward transom tapering on a displacement catamaran hull using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Five taper configurations ranging from a vertical transom base design to a fully tapered stern (1.00B) were evaluated over a wide Froude number range (Fr = .3 to 1.0).

Collaborative Sampling and Imaging of Phytoplankton Communities by Two Long‐Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Using Acoustic Tracking and Messaging

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborative operation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can effectively achieve scientific goals that are hard to achieve by independently operated vehicles. Some science payloads are large, expensive, and need to be installed in the vehicle's nose cone. A vehicle can only carry one such payload.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

Virtual Elastic Tether: A New Approach for Multi‐Agent Navigation in Confined Aquatic Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater navigation is a challenging area in the field of mobile robotics due to inherent constraints in self‐localization and communication in underwater environments. Some of these challenges can be mitigated by using collaborative multi‐agent teams.

Underwater Acoustic Tomography

Defence Science Journal, 1985
Ever since the CAT scanner technique for medical imaging was introduced, the fields of tomography and image reconstruction from slices have been gaining in popularity. Towards the end of the last decade, the application of tomographic method to large scale ocean monitoring was explored. This paper surveys the application of tomographic methods to ocean

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.
