Triangulation is commonly used for source localization and most triangulation applications are based on intersection of the bearing direction to locate a source on a two-dimensional plane. In this paper, two new mathematical models (a basic model and an improved one) that expands the traditional triangulation concept to three-dimensional space are developed to locate multiple incoherent sound sources. The basic model uses four microphones and concentrates on solving a set of three quadratic equations simultaneously. The improved model requires more than four microphones and uses the solution from the basic model, as well as analyzing the intersection of bearing angles. Redundancy checks on the time differences of arrival are added to further reduce the source localization error in the improved model. Moreover, the input data are pre-processed and de-noised through filtering and windowing to enhance the effective signal to noise ratio. Various sound sources are tested, including transient, impulsive, continuous, broad-band, and narrow-band sounds. Numerical simulations and experimental validation using the real world sound sources are conducted. The impacts of the source direction/source detection range on the accuracy of source localization results are examined and discussed.

Dutch-belted 1 to 2.5 kg anesthetized rabbits were exposed to either xenon or argon laser light administered in a broad band, designed to cover large areas of the retina. For laser exposure, the pupil was dilated with atropine sulfate 1% and pheny lephrine 10%. All of the laser generated power was within a band centered at 5145.0 Anstroms. Established threshold for 4 hour exposures to laser irradiation are in the order of 25-35 microwatts/cm2. Animals examined for ultrastructural changes received 4 hour threshold doses. These animals exhibited ERG, opthalmascopic, and histological changes consistent with threshold damage.One month following exposure the rabbits were killed with pentobarbitol. The eyes were immediately enucleated and dissected while bathed in 3% phosphate buffered gluteraldehyde.
