Abstract :
The Administrative Committee of the IEEE Group on Sonics and Ultrasonics takes great pleasure in announcing the selection of the Best Paper in the 1972 IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics. The Best Paper Award of the G-SU for 1972 is awarded to the authors of the paper entitled "Holographic Interferometry Applied to Motion Studieos f Ultrasonic Bonders." This paper was published in the October, 1972, issue. The authors are A.D. Wilson, B.D. Martin, and D.H. Strope. This paper was selected for its original approach to the successful measurement of the complex motion of a useful tool. Modern aspects of ultrasonics and optics were applied to the problem. The authors of the Best Paper will receive a cash prize (US$100.00 for 1972) and a plaque to commemorate their achievement.
