Dolphins' Hunting Technique Inspires New Radar Device

minty3 writes "The twin inverted pulse radar (TWIPR) made by a team from the University of Southampton in England uses the same technique dolphins do to capture prey. Like dolphins, the device sends out two pulses in quick succession to cancel out background noise. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical and Physical Sciences, explained how the device resembles the way dolphins send out two pulses in quick succession to cancel out background noise."

Re:Prior art

Wonder if that's patentable since there's clearly prior art on nature then...

Easy, you just sequence the dolphins DNA and patent that.
