The cover image is from Figures 8 through 11 of “Apparatus for three-dimensional emission pattern estimation of acoustic emitters,” by Alberto Yoshihiro Nakano, Artur Adolfo Falkovski, Mayconvorgel Ibrahim Ribeiro, and Felipe Walter Dafico Pfrimer. Editor in Chief Jim Lynch says about the feature article: The 3-D directional pattern of an acoustic emitter is a key piece of its characterization, but not so simple to obtain with simple equipment and processing. In the article by Nakano et al, a relatively simple single sensor device mounted on a circular swivel is described, which allows very precise measurements to be made. The measurement is slower than a 3-D spherical enclosure, but has a great advantage in simplicity and cost.
