What are the differences between side scan sonar multi-beam sonar?

Side scan sonar uses sonar to map the the ground below by emitting continuous sonar pulses while moving. The sound continuously reflects back to the system's receiver, which creates an image based on the energy of the signal received, where darker points in the image match things protruding from the ground and lighter spots indicate where there is nothing. It does not measure the depth. Side scan sonar is usually towed behind the vessel using it. Multibeam sonar is similar to side scan sonar, except that it is attached to the vessel (rather than being towed) and measures the time difference between sound emission and reception, rather than the energy of the incoming sound waves. Thus, it measures depth instead of making a picture.

What are the uses of computers in health?
Yes all that is true. I've to say that there are some other hardwares, connected to computers, which help much more to this field such as Ultrasound, CT scan, X ray machine etc. Computers help in manufacturing medicine (tablets, capsules etc) too. ------------------------------------------ Physicians can use computers to research diseases, treatments, and symptoms. They can use them to help a patient find a particular specialist if one they need isn't available where they live. They can use them to record the medical history of patients and keep track of progress or increasing problems.

Does council member get capitalized?
I believe it should be written "Council member". The term "Security Council" is always capitalized, and as Council is just a contraction of that, it should remain capitalized. However, on a quick scan of the UN website, the 'member' is not capitalized. However, "Council Member" is probably acceptable.

What are the main differences between Scan and copy?
When you scan a document it puts a copy into the computer attached to the scanner or the memory of the scanner. But copying is a one time shot and you can not retrieve a copy of what you put through again.

What is side scan sonar?
a sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor. it emits conical or fan-shaped pulses down toward the seafloor across a wide angle perpendicular to the path of the sensor through the water.
What Types of brain scanning imaging equipment used by Scientists to find bipolar disorder?
None are diagnostic of the disorder, but PET scan and FMRI scan can show differences in metabolism. These differences can sometimes identify different moods.
What are the types of echo sounder?
The types of echo sounders include single beam echo sounders, multi-beam echo sounders, and side-scan sonar. Single beam echo sounders are simpler and used for shallow water depths, while multi-beam echo sounders can cover a wider swath and provide more detailed bathymetric data. Side-scan sonar is used to produce images of the seafloor.
