| 摘要 |
A sonic ranging and/or object detection system, particularly useful for the blind, periodically employs widely different pulse frequencies in order to distinguish between objects located directly in front of the energy transmitting portion of this system and those located to either side. The higher frequency pulses produce a relatively narrow sonic energy beam width for detecting centrally located objects and the lower frequency pulses produce a relatively broad sonic energy beam width for detecting lateral or off-center objects. One or more time-related audible tones are superimposed on each of the pulse frequencies for range determining and/or object distinguishing purposes.
