Abstract
This paper describes the progress at Sandia National Laboratories of an ongoing program on ultrasonic seals. The desirable acoustic characteristics of an ultrasonic seal are discussed. Machine comparison of signatures is practical with suitable data processing of the acquired acoustic reflections. This processing, as well as an algorithm to recognize a fiducial mark, is discussed.
