<<Analysis and Evaluation of Ultrasonic Sound Pressure Data>> 1) Regarding time series data, we will analyze and evaluate the statistical properties of the measurement data (stability and changes of ultrasound) through feedback analysis using a multivariate autoregressive model. 2) The effects of the oscillation part due to ultrasonic oscillation will be analyzed and evaluated in terms of the response characteristics of ultrasonic vibration phenomena concerning the surface condition of the target object through impulse response characteristics and autocorrelation analysis. 3) The interaction between the oscillation and the target object (cleaning items, cleaning solution, water tank, etc.) will be evaluated through the analysis of power contribution rates. 4) Regarding the use of ultrasound (cleaning, processing, stirring, etc.), we will analyze and evaluate the dynamic characteristics of ultrasound based on the nonlinear phenomena (results of bispectral analysis) of the target object (propagation of surface elastic waves) or the ultrasound propagating in the target liquid, which are the main factors of the ultrasonic effect. This analytical method is realized based on past experiences and achievements, adapting the analysis techniques of time series data to the measurement data of ultrasound to capture the dynamic characteristics of complex ultrasonic vibrations.

Ultrasonic oscillation (sweep oscillation) system for controlling nonlinear phenomena

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control the nonlinear vibration phenomena of surface elastic waves based on the acoustic characteristics of original ultrasonic probes. The key point is the setting of sweep oscillation conditions using two ultrasonic probes (essentially, it cannot be controlled with just one probe for ultrasonic oscillation control. By combining the oscillation settings of the two probes, the occurrence of resonance phenomena and nonlinear phenomena can be controlled). Resonance phenomena and nonlinear phenomena can be controlled within a frequency range tailored to the intended use. In particular, when strong stimulation is required, this is achieved by utilizing low-frequency resonance phenomena (e.g., breaking glass). When high-frequency stimulation is needed, this is achieved by utilizing high-frequency nonlinear phenomena (e.g., 700 MHz stimulation).

- Surface modification technology (stress relaxation and uniformity) through nonlinear oscillation control of original ultrasonic probes -

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has made it possible to control the nonlinear propagation state of ultrasound by utilizing measurement, analysis, and control technologies related to the propagation state of ultrasound as the acoustic characteristics of the target object. As a result, we have developed and advanced technology to efficiently alleviate residual stress on the surface of components. This technology for alleviating surface residual stress improves fatigue strength against metal fatigue and achieves uniformity in various surface treatments. In particular, by considering the guided waves (surface elastic waves) of the target object in the setting and control of the ultrasonic propagation state, we have developed control methods and tools that realize effective dynamic changes in the target object as stimuli that include nonlinear phenomena. We have confirmed a wide range of effects on various types of metal parts, resin parts, and powder materials. This is a new surface treatment technology using ultrasound, which, including the general effects based on acoustic characteristics, can be utilized and developed as a distinctive inherent operational technology for the development of new materials, stirring, dispersion, cleaning, and chemical reaction experiments.

[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.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
