    Abstract: An acoustically-transmissive structure with a three-dimensional distribution of subwavelength acoustic refractive indices to diffractively concentrate acoustic waves incident on an effective aperture of the structure from a range of incidence directions between a minimum acceptance angle and a maximum acceptance angle to a smaller effective aperture. In a specific embodiment, an acoustic system may include a plurality of electroacoustic transducers and an acoustic structure having a first, larger effective aperture with a three-dimensional distribution of acoustic refractive indices. The acoustic structure diffractively concentrates acoustic waves received at a first set of angles of incidence to a first electroacoustic transducer and diffractively concentrates acoustic waves received at a second set of angles of incidence to a second electroacoustic transducer. The effective apertures of each of the first and second electroacoustic transducers has a smaller effective aperture relative to the larger effective aperture of the acoustic structure.

    Abstract: A beamforming system, comprising a plurality of subsets of tunable resonator elements arranged on a substrate. Each subset of tunable resonator elements comprises at least two resonator elements that have a common resonance property modifiable by a common physical stimulus. A first control input may provide a first physical stimulus to modify the resonance property of all the tunable resonator elements in a first subset of tunable resonator elements. A second control input may provide a second physical stimulus to modify the resonance property of all the tunable resonator elements in a second subset of tunable resonator elements. A controller adjusts the first and second physical stimulus provided via the control inputs between a plurality of physical stimulus values. Each different physical stimulus value corresponds to one of a plurality of a unique resonance patterns and associated unique radiation patterns.

    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system and method. A digital imaging device is configured to capture images of a region of a contact between a wheel of a terrestrial vehicle and a surface ("contact region"). A correlator is configured to correlate a first digital image of the contact region captured at a first time with a second digital image of the contact region captured at a second time. A kinematics circuit determines an incremental slide or slip of the wheel relative to the surface. A traction status circuit combines at least two instances of the incremental slide or slip into data indicative of a slide or slip by the terrestrial vehicle relative to the surface. A communications circuit outputs an electronic signal indicative of the data indicative of a slide or slip by the terrestrial vehicle.

    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, apparatus, and method. An apparatus includes an array of at least two groups of at least two artificially structured electromagnetic unit cells. Each group of the at least two groups configured to be respectively linearly arranged with respect to the z-axis of the bore of MRI or NMR device. Each group of the at least two groups of artificially structured electromagnetic unit cells configured to transform an incident pulse of radiofrequency electromagnetic waves into a pulse of radiofrequency magnetic field B1 orientated transverse to a segment of the z-axis and spatially proximate to the group. The apparatus includes a radiofrequency electromagnetic wave conducting structure configured to selectably distribute a received pulse of radiofrequency electromagnetic waves to a group of the at least two groups.
