Bipolar pulse generators with voltage multiplication |
December 15, 2009 |
| A bipolar pulse generator includes two, two-conductor transmission lines coupled together with a load positioned between the two transmission lines. Each conductor of a transmission line we define as a segment. Two segments of one transmission line are charged and switchably coupled to |

Information-theoretic method for clustering and merging imprecise data |
September 15, 2009 |
| An information-theoretic method clusters and merges bi-variate normal data or `error ellipses` lying in a plane. Two or more error ellipses are clustered and then merged into a single error ellipse if the information lost in the merging process is sufficiently small. This criterion is |

Non-explosive acoustic source |
April 18, 2006 |
| A non-explosive acoustic source utilizes the combustion of aluminum and water to generate an acoustic pulse. The operation of the non-explosive acoustic source relies on a water/aluminum reaction to generate a burst pressure. The source may be deployed as a single charge or as one elemen |
