Sonar

Designing and manufacturing electronics products for boaters and fisherman is a tough, competitive business. Marine electronics like autopilots, sonars, radars and radios often last for years and are considered big ticket items by most consumers. Such competitive pressure resulted in ventures like Lowrance, a publicly held company merging with Simrad, a competitor with a large customer base in Europe to form a new company called Navico. With the merger in place, Navico was positioned to…

During the inter-war period, British technological development fell behind competing nations due to economic constraints, poor assumptions developed by senior military leaders, as well as contributing strategic and political factors. Historical examples suggest Great Britain had emerged as a leader in terms of technological innovation as it exited War World One . The country of Great Britain arguably exits the First World War as a leader in technological development regarding all three of its…

The reading provides three theories about the source of the quacker sound, the strange sound that russian submarines detected during the 1980s; however, the lecturer believes that the passage's interpretation in open to dispute. Therefore, she tries to refute the passage's reasons by bringing up some cogent reasons. First, the author argues that the calls of male and female orca whales during a courtship ritual might have been the cause of the quacker sound. On the contrary, the lecturer casts…

Did you know that many animals many remarkable uses for the military. From a dolphin’s sonar ability to a canine’s keen sense of smell and astonishing hearing. Many soldiers since The Great War have relied on various animals on the the battlefield. Animals give a plethora of benefits for the military. To begin with, dolphins are able to assist the Navy in a handful of ways. One way is to flag mines to clear waterways so that ship can pass through. “You take a handful of dolphins and you clear…

Today in Mr. Andersons class we talked about the Ocean Floor, the students learned that it took us many years to study the Ocean floor because of its deepness. Once Sonar was developed we were able to study the ocean floor, in class students took the time to watch a video about the subject. The video also mentioned that we know more about the moon and space than we know about the ocean floor because we have not explored it. During this time Mr. Anderson also emphasized on things from the video…

Dear Reader: Before you read this paper, please consider the following requests. First, and most importantly, listen to at least 1 minute of Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica. It is available on YouTube for free. Consider that this bizarre, atonal, virtually unlistenable album is regarded as one of the most influential rock albums of all time, and was ranked No. 60 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums. Finally, considering Captain Beefheart’s unlikely place in the…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

I picked an interview with Sumner Clayton he served in the US Navy from 1960 until 1980. The reason I picked this interview is because Sumner served as a part of a mine interdiction division. Sumner was originally put into the fleet sonar school in Key West but after accidentally electrocuting himself with 440 DC of electricity refused to go back stating he would rather "pick up the paint scraper". He claims leaving the school was the biggest mistake of his life as he spent the next 19 years on…

The primary test showing of an association between naturally visible piezoelectric marvels and crystallographic structure was distributed in 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie. Their analysis comprised of a decisive estimation of surface charges showing up on extraordinarily arranged precious stones (tourmaline, quartz, topaz, natural sweetener and Rochelle salt among them) which were subjected to mechanical anxiety. These outcomes were a sound representative for the Curies ' creative ability and…

crest and trough in a standing position. There are several instruments used for gathering information about oceanography. For example, Sonar, or Sound Navigation and Ranging systems are used to identify object in the deep sea. It is also used for determining water depth. Sound waves are emitted downwards and the bounce off the ocean floor and come back to the sonar system. Satellites are also sued for oceanography. Satellites are also used for identifying the characteristics and feature of…
