Acoustic-electric channels have been used in the recent past to send power and data
through thin metallic barriers. Acoustic-electric channels formed along a structure which are …

Single layered acoustic-electric channels have been used in the recent past to send power
and data through metallic barriers. Multi-layered acoustic-electric channels, as well as those …

As low cost, low power wireless networking technologies continue to gain popularity in
industrial control and remote sensing applications, greater demand is being placed on …

As of the development of this thesis, no commercially available products have been
identified for the digital communication of instrumented data across a thick ({approx} 6 n.) …

Transmission of information using ultrasonic elastic waves on existing metallic pipes
provides an alternative communication option across physical barriers in a highly partitioned …

There are several well-developed technologies of wireless communication such as radio
frequency (RF) and infrared (IR), but ultrasonic methods can be a good alternative in some …

The use of wireless implanted medical devices (IMDs) is growing because they facilitate
monitoring of patients at home and during normal activities, reduce the discomfort of …

Electromagnetic" wireless" techniques are ineffective for communicating through a solid
steel barrier due to the shielding effect of the metal. Although holes can be made in the …

Most ultrasonic guided wave methods require tone burst excitations to achieve some degree
of mode purity while maintaining temporal resolution. In addition, it is often desirable to …

Many applications exist whereby it would be useful to communicate into or out of conducting
enclosures such as pipelines, storage containers or the compartments formed by the hull …
