Underwater acoustic networks are generally formed by acoustically connected ocean bottom sensor nodes, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and surface stations that serve as gateways and provide radio communication links to on-shore stations. The QoS of such networks is limited by the low bandwidth of acoustic transmission channels, high latency resulting from the slow propagation of sound, and elevated noise levels in some environments. The long-term goal in the design of underwater acoustic networks is to provide for a se ....etc

ABSTRACT
In the last two decades, underwater acoustic communications has
experienced significant progress. The traditional approach for ocean-
bottom or ocean-column monitoring is to deploy oceanographic sensors,
record the data, and recover the instruments. But this approach failed
in real-time monitoring. The ideal solution for real-time monitoring of
selected ocean areas for long periods of time is to connect various
instruments through wireless links within a network structure. Basic
underwater acous ....etc

Latest Invention: Acoustic Ear-scanning Technology to Help Avoid Theft


Researchers managed to come up with a technology that could protect portable devices such as iPod and mobile phones from theft.
Their latest invention uses the acoustic fingerprint of the ear, which makes it impossible for other people to operate the device. Such technology could be also used to improve the safety features of bank accounts and passports.
Scientists found that it is possible to identify a person by the distinctive sounds of t ....etc

BackGround
A CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) based communication system allows the users to share an available frequency spectrum. The users are allocated different codes that are recognizable for the preferred receivers. This solution has several advantages, among other it gives increased robustness to interference. The CDMA project will investigate the benefits and losses of using CDMA communication system on an acoustic channel between two computers. The focus of the project will be to study how a higher data rate will affect t ....etc

Composites of shape memory alloys (SMA) with a matrix have been widely studied to suppress the propagation of damage. In these studies, the SMA is used as an actuator. A multi-functional SMA as both sensor and actuator is suitable for constructing intelligent material, such as a material with a sensing and suppressing function. The damage of materials is related to the amount of strain. We studied the use of SMA wire parts as sensors to measure the amount of strain for damage estimation. The acoustic emission (AE) signals induced by phase trans ....etc

In the last two decades, underwater acoustic communications has experienced significant progress. Communication systems with increased bit-rate and reliability now enable real-time point-to-point links between underwater nodes such as ocean bottom sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Current researches focused on combining various point-to-point links within a network structure to meet the emerging demand for applications such as environmental data collection, offshore exploration, pollution monitoring, ....etc

ACOUSTIC NOISE CANCELLATION USING ADAPTIVE FILTERING


Abstract
All the physical systems when they operate produce physical noise, which is a mixing of an infinitive number of sinusoidal harmonics with different frequencies. So, the initial signal information is corrupted with this noise. This complex signal, may be very noisy, so much that the human ear or other system which may follow it, cannot receive correct the initial signal.
