Multi-Axial Transducers for Passive Point Source Localization

Abstract
Acoustic cavitation is often monitored by single passive cavitation detectors. A single transducer can provide information on the type, intensity, and duration of activity, while being small and relatively inexpensive. However, spatial information about cavitation activity is lacking with these systems. Multi-axial transducers, or transducers with more than one pair of orthogonal electrodes, are hypothesized to provide directivity information about a received signal using a single transducer. Thus, the objective of this study was to demonstrate in-silico that single multi-axial transducers can provide directivity information and two multi-axial transducers can provide accurate source location estimates. Two sets of frequency-domain simulations were performed, one each for two biaxial transducers (two pairs of orthogonal electrodes) and two triaxial transducers (two pairs of orthogonal electrodes). Transducers were placed 2 cm apart along the x axis while acoustic point sources were placed at depths between 10 and 14 cm from the top face of the transducers. Points were a maximum of 4 cm away from the origin in the xy-plane. Signal and amplitude ratio were mapped to source direction using a radial basis function. Trigonometry was then used to calculate two- and three-dimensional positions for biaxial and triaxial cases, respectively. RMS and median localization errors were calculated as a measure of accuracy. Median localization error of less than 1 mm was observer in all cases. Therefore, single multi-axial transducers can estimate the direction of a point source and pairs of multi-axial transducers can estimate the location of a point source.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
