Carpets under consideration here, in the context of pressure acoustic waves propagating in a compressible fluid, do not touch the ground: they levitate in mid-air (or float in mid-water), which leads to approximate cloaking for an object…

An active interior cloak is composed of a conformal array of radiating sources surrounding a target object. With proper configuration, this array radiates a field discontinuity which cancels out any scattering which occurs when the object…

A new method of cloaking is presented. For two-dimensional quasistatics it is proven how a single active exterior cloaking device can be used to shield an object from surrounding fields, yet produce very small scattered fields. The problem…
