Development of an ultrasonic probe utilizing the acoustic properties of Teflon rods (with iron cores).

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed an ultrasonic oscillation control system for various solvents (such as hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid) using Teflon (PTFE). By confirming the basic acoustic properties (response characteristics, propagation characteristics) of Teflon rods (with iron cores), it enables the desired ultrasonic propagation state through oscillation control (output, waveform, oscillation frequency, variations, etc.). Specifically, using two types of ultrasonic oscillation control probes, we set oscillation conditions based on measurements and analyses of the intended purpose and interactions, combining sweep oscillation and pulse oscillation. In particular, to control low-frequency resonance phenomena, we utilize high-frequency nonlinear phenomena. Therefore, sound pressure measurements require a measurement range of over 100 MHz. The key point is to evaluate the dynamic vibration characteristics of the system based on the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data. We are establishing and confirming new evaluation criteria (parameters) that indicate the appropriate state of ultrasound for the intended purpose.

Technology for controlling low-frequency resonance phenomena and high-frequency nonlinear phenomena.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic oscillation control technology utilizing nonlinear vibration phenomena based on surface acoustic waves. By confirming the basic acoustic characteristics (response characteristics, propagation characteristics) for various targets (water tanks, transducers, probes, jigs, objects, etc.), the desired ultrasonic propagation state can be achieved through oscillation control. By setting the oscillation conditions (waveform, output, control, etc.) with an original nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe, we optimize high-frequency propagation states above 300 MHz through high sound pressure resonance phenomena and harmonic generation phenomena (nonlinear phenomena). This technology is an efficient method for utilizing low-output ultrasonic oscillation. The key point is the setting of various parameters utilizing the characteristics of a discrete function generator through digital control. By using the nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe, the control range of sound pressure levels due to resonance phenomena is greatly expanded, which is significantly different from conventional sound pressure levels caused by resonance phenomena. Therefore, optimization of control settings based on sound pressure measurement analysis is necessary to avoid phenomena such as damage or destruction.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when leaving the parking lot in my car..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Departure Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel including the controller and switching power supply (24V) is required when using the departure 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.
