Appl. No.:

8/867056

International Classification:

G01S 1589

US Classification:

367 88

Abstract:

A system for generating a wide-angle, forward-looking bathymetric map of an region ensonified by single ping. A transmitter generates a large angle transmit pulse. An array of acoustic transducer elements operates to transmit the pulse, receive acoustic return signals and convert the returns into digital acoustic data. A receiver matched filters, shades and steers the data through a series of horizontal angles. For each horizontal angle steered to, the receiver generates vertical beams and identifies detections as those vertical beams having magnitudes greater than a detection threshold. Vertical beam forming and detection identification is repeated for each time slice in a series of time slices over the ping cycle. The identified detections are refined using a curve fitting analysis and stored in equal angular vertical bins. A bottom profile is generated from the refined angles and magnitudes.

Abstract:

An apparatus and method is described herein for applying labels to containers. The apparatus includes a guidance mechanism configured to provide a path for receiving a plurality of labels having a back surface with a fluid activatable adhesive that is non-tacky until activated, an adhesive activation station aligned with at least a portion of the guidance mechanism and configured to apply to the back surface of said labels a fluid to activate said adhesive along said back surface of said labels, and a label application station configured to apply at least one of said labels with said activated adhesive onto an exterior surface of a corresponding object located on a rotatable platform. The guidance mechanism includes at least one rotatable transfer member having a plurality of pallets. Each of the pallets includes multiple openings for communication of suction to enable at least one of the pallets to receive and releasably secure a front of the labels onto at least one pallet, and one or more rollers connected to each of the pallets by one or more tunable complaint members. The label application station includes a servo motor configured to drive a linear speed and a rotational direction of the platform.
