Q: How is the Ghost Army actually implemented on the battlefield?
Sound technicians adjusted amplifiers and speaker angles based on environmental factors to make the deception more believable.
Sonic Deception in World War II
Q: What sort of equipment and techniques had to be developed to create this Ghost Army?
They had to develop technology for accurate measurements and create high-power, low-distortion audio equipment.
The Unique Acoustics of Traditional Chinese Interlocked Timber-Arched Covered Bridges
Q: How did you go about building a standard model for these bridges?
The model was built based on a large-scale survey of various bridges, focusing on size, layout, and acoustic properties, which allowed for precise simulation and analysis of different configurations.
The Unique Acoustics of Traditional Chinese Interlocked Timber-Arched Covered Bridges
Q: So why were you interested in studying the sound fields of these types of bridges?
These bridges have special acoustic features due to their long and thin shapes, as well as openings which make them acoustically interesting and distinct from other building types.
A New Way to Diagnose Osteoporosis
Q: How do you create this virtual transducer that's directly on the bone?
It involves simulating what the wave would do if a virtual transducer were to exist at that point, essentially backward engineering the needed waveforms.
