Broadband cluster transducer for underwater acoustics applications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A broadband cluster transducer, based on barrel-stave flextensional transducer technology, was designed, built, and tested in air and seawater at Defence R&D Canada-Atlantic. The design goal was to develop a transducer that exhibited a transmitting voltage response of greater than 120 dB1 microPa-m/V from 1 to 7 kHz and have the potential for beamsteering. Six orthogonal piezoceramic-driven class I barrel-stave transducer elements mounted on a central manifold were wired separately, allowing each to be driven individually or in combination with the other elements. The resonance modes under the following drive conditions were determined from in-air conductance measurements: each of the six elements excited individually as mass-loaded class I flextensionals, three collinear pairs driven separately as class III flextensionals, and all six elements driven in phase simultaneously. The fully-driven cluster was found to have a transmitting voltage response of greater than 120 dB1 microPa-m/V from 800 Hz to more than 10 kHz and its topology is amenable to beamsteering that is yet to be characterized.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
