Title: John S. Chaves and the Self-Contained Ambient Noise Recorder
Introduction
John S. Chaves is an inventor associated with North Quincy, Massachusetts. His recorded patent work includes an ocean-acoustic instrument designed to collect data that can help derive surface wind velocity and rainfall rate.
Latest Patents
Chaves is credited with 1 patent: “Self-Contained Ambient Noise Recorder.” The invention is an instrumentation apparatus intended to receive and record acoustic signals at depths of approximately 5 to 100 meters beneath the ocean surface. It uses an omnidirectional hydrophone to receive acoustic energy from the upper hemisphere and produce a signal related to wind velocity and rainfall rate at the surface. A preamplifier amplifies the hydrophone’s output, while a processing circuit—including a microprocessor and data-storage device—processes the signal and records derived data.
Career Highlights
The patent is assigned to the United States as represented by the Secretary of the Navy. It reflects work on underwater acoustic instrumentation and the use of recorded ocean noise to support measurements of environmental conditions at the sea surface.
Collaborations
David H. Shonting and Peter R. Hebda are identified as Chaves’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their individual contributions to the patent.
Conclusion
John S. Chaves’s patent documents an approach to recording underwater ambient noise and using acoustic data to help estimate wind and rainfall at the ocean surface.
