Echo ranging Clause Samples

The 'Echo ranging' clause defines the use of sound waves to determine the distance to an object by measuring the time it takes for an emitted sound pulse to reflect back from the object. In practice, this clause applies to technologies such as sonar or ultrasonic sensors, where a device sends out a sound signal and calculates distance based on the echo's return time. Its core function is to provide a reliable, non-contact method for measuring distances, which is essential in navigation, object detection, and various industrial applications.
Echo ranging. It is possible to measure the distance of a target that has given rise to a specific echo if we know the speed of sound in the medium of interest as well as the time for the echo of the transmitted ultrasound pulse to return to the transducer. This relationship is described by (1) where t is the total time from the transmission of the pulse until its echo is received, d is the distance from the transducer to the target and c is the speed of sound in the medium of interest. Rearranging (1) gives us for the distance where the speed of sound in human tissues is 1540 m s-1.

  • Cloud storage DSHS Confidential Information requires protections equal to or greater than those specified elsewhere within this exhibit. Cloud storage of Data is problematic as neither DSHS nor the Contractor has control of the environment in which the Data is stored. For this reason: (1) DSHS Data will not be stored in any consumer grade Cloud solution, unless all of the following conditions are met: (a) Contractor has written procedures in place governing use of the Cloud storage and Contractor attests in writing that all such procedures will be uniformly followed. (b) The Data will be Encrypted while within the Contractor network. (c) The Data will remain Encrypted during transmission to the Cloud. (d) The Data will remain Encrypted at all times while residing within the Cloud storage solution. (e) The Contractor will possess a decryption key for the Data, and the decryption key will be possessed only by the Contractor and/or DSHS. (f) The Data will not be downloaded to non-authorized systems, meaning systems that are not on either the DSHS or Contractor networks. (g) The Data will not be decrypted until downloaded onto a computer within the control of an Authorized User and within either the DSHS or Contractor’s network. (2) Data will not be stored on an Enterprise Cloud storage solution unless either: (a) The Cloud storage provider is treated as any other Sub-Contractor, and agrees in writing to all of the requirements within this exhibit; or, (b) The Cloud storage solution used is FedRAMP certified. (3) If the Data includes protected health information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Cloud provider must sign a Business Associate Agreement prior to Data being stored in their Cloud solution.
