Technology for controlling nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena by utilizing the interactions generated from simultaneously oscillating two types of ultrasonic probes from one oscillation channel of a function generator. (Note: Nonlinear (resonance) phenomena refer to the resonance phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations that occurs due to the generation of harmonics resulting from original oscillation control, achieving high amplitudes through resonance.) By optimizing the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of various materials to suit specific purposes, efficient ultrasonic oscillation control becomes possible. Through the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data from ultrasonic testers, this system technology allows for the dynamic changes of surface elastic waves to be controlled according to their intended use. In practical terms, the use of multiple (two types of) ultrasonic probes for multiple (two types of) oscillations (sweep oscillation, pulse oscillation) generates complex vibration phenomena (original nonlinear resonance phenomena), achieving high sound pressure propagation states at high frequencies, or low frequency propagation states with high sound pressure levels tailored to the desired natural frequency.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, particularly at entrances facing sidewalks or roadways, there is a risk of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "sensor" + "controller" + "switching power supply (24V)" + "LED rotating light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
