This paper presents a reduced-order approach to near-field acoustical holography (NAH) that allows the user to account for sound fields generated by multiple spatially separated sources. In this method, an equivalent wave model (EWM) of a given field is formulated to include combinations of planar, cylindrical, spherical, or other elementary wave functions in contrast to an EWM restricted to a single separable coordinate system. This can alleviate the need for higher-order functions, reduce the number of measurements, and decrease error. The statistically optimized near-field acoustical holography (SONAH) algorithm is utilized to perform the NAH projection after the formulation of the multisource EWM. The combined process is called multisource statistically optimized near-field acoustical holography (M-SONAH). This method is used to reconstruct simulated sound fields generated by combinations of a vibrating piston in a sphere and linear arrays of monopole sources. It is shown that M-SONAH can reconstruct near-field pressures in multisource environments with lower errors and fewer measurements than a strictly plane or cylindrical-wave formulation using the same simulated measurement.

Soft-lithographically defined template for arbitrarily patterned acoustic bioassembly.

Biofabrication

Acoustic bioassembly is recently regarded as a highly efficient biofabrication tool to generate functional tissue mimics. Despite their capacity of directly patterning live cells with close intercellular proximity, most acoustic bioassembly techniques are currently limited to generate some specific simple types of periodic and symmetric patterns, which represents an urgent challenge to emulate geometrically complex cytoarchitecture in human tissue. To address this challenge, we herein demonstrate a soft-lithographically defined acoustic bioassembly (SLAB) technique that enables to assemble live cells into geometrically defined arbitrary multicellular structures.

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that reliable risk assessment of venues is still challenging and resulted in the indiscriminate closure of many venues worldwide. Therefore, this study used an experimental, numerical and analytical approach to investigate the airborne transmission risk potential of differently ventilated, sized and shaped venues. The data were used to assess the magnitude of effect of various mitigation measures and to develop recommendations.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper discusses how the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for sonar on an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) can be affected by interference from both nearby and distant sources.
  • It introduces a sparsity-based DOA estimation method that separates weak far-field signals from near-field interferences using sparse reconstruction techniques.
  • The method also incorporates subspace projection to improve the estimation of weak target signals that are masked by strong interferences, showing better performance in simulations and experiments compared to other advanced estimation methods.

Accurate localization of partial electrical discharges is essential for the diagnosis of high-voltage systems. The current study achieves this by employing an acoustic sensor array and a beamforming approach. The occurrence of a partial discharge is accompanied by the emission of high-frequency sounds in the ultrasonic range, making localization a challenging task requiring many sensors to avoid spatial aliasing.
