Abstract
Abstract Ultrasonic tomographic imaging has been performed on a highly attenuating, filled, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene, cast into a steel case. The detection of defects and the characterization of solid rocket propellant were thus possible. Extremely low signal levels due to the attenuation and scattering properties of the polymer were present. In addition, a nonideal tomographic reconstruction geometry was present, because of a cylindrical air-filled cavity in the center of the polymer. Complications also arose from high-amplitude guided waves within the steel case, which tended to mask directly transmitted signals through the propellant. These problems were solved using specially designed transducers and pulse-compression signal processing techniques. Modifications to the filtered back-projection reconstruction procedure were made to account for the discontinuity caused by the hole. Images are presented showing the detection of an artificial defect to demonstrate the technique.

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 it
