ABSTRACT
We write to introduce our novel group formed to confront some of the issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic. Information about the group, which we named "cure COVid for Ever and for All" (RxCOVEA), its dynamic membership (changing regularly), and some of its activities-described in more technical detail for expert perusal and commentary-are available upon request.
ABSTRACT
We present a system for measuring the amplitude and phase profiles of the pressure field of a harmonic acoustic wave with the goal of reconstructing the volumetric sound field. Unlike optical holograms that cannot be reconstructed exactly because of the inverse problem, acoustic holograms are completely specified in the recording plane. We demonstrate volumetric reconstructions of simple arrangements of objects using the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral and introduce a technique to analyze the dynamic properties of insonated objects.
