- Employed the application of Wavelets Mathematics for both time and frequency analysis. Wavelets have theoretical advantages in Transmit and Receive waveforms for Ultrasound and other applications because the nature of multi-resolution analysis allows time period mapping as to when a frequency occurred within a FFT sample period for example. (Personal investigation)- Began a study for vibration analysis 'tuned' to clarify only the questionable regions of an image. Result is better sensitivity than standard line or B-mode imaging techniques. (Personal investigation)
