Technology for controlling nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound (acoustic flow)

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic cleaning technology that enables control of acoustic flow (ultrasonic propagation state) in the range of 1-100 MHz by utilizing a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation control probe for ultrasonic cleaners. This is a new application technology for precision cleaning, processing, and stirring based on the measurement, analysis, evaluation, and technology of ultrasonic propagation states. By utilizing the acoustic properties (surface elastic waves) of various materials, ultrasonic stimulation can be controlled even in a 1000-liter water tank with an ultrasonic output of less than 20W. It was developed as an application method for nonlinear phenomena through an engineering (experimental and technical) perspective on elastic waves and an abstract algebraic ultrasonic model. The key point is the use of tools (elastic bodies: metals, glass, plastics). By confirming the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves based on the conditions of the target object, it is important to address it as an original nonlinear resonance phenomenon. We believe that this technology can be applied in various fields and are implementing proposals in various consulting services.

Control technology for nonlinear ultrasonic sweep oscillation based on the classification of ultrasonic propagation phenomena.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a classification method for the phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations propagation. Based on this classification, we have developed a nonlinear sweep oscillation control technology for ultrasound using a nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe. This ultrasonic sweep oscillation control technology method controls the linear and nonlinear resonance effects according to the main frequency (power spectrum) of the dynamic characteristics (changes in nonlinear phenomena) related to the propagation state of the ultrasound. From previous experiments and data measurement analyses, we have been able to classify effective utilization methods into the following four recommended controls: 1: Two types of sweep oscillation control (linear type) 2: Three types of sweep oscillation control (nonlinear type) 3: Four types of sweep oscillation control (mixed type) 4: Dynamic control (variable type) based on the combinations above Furthermore, the variable type can be classified into the following three control types based on the sweep oscillation conditions: 1: Linear variable control type 2: Nonlinear variable control type 3: Mixed variable control type (dynamic variable type)

To stabilize the effects of ultrasound, a statistical perspective is essential.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute is developing technologies related to effective "measurement, analysis, and evaluation methods" using a <statistical approach> concerning the utilization of ultrasound. <About the Statistical Approach> Statistical mathematics has both abstract and concrete aspects, and through contact with concrete entities, abstract thoughts or methods are developed. This is the characteristic of statistical mathematics. - From "Statistics in Science" edited by Hirotsugu Akaike <About Models> Models are constructed with the aim of effectively advancing understanding, prediction, and control regarding the subject. Building an accurate model is difficult, and the examination is always conducted in a form that appropriately "rounds off" the complexity of the subject. In this sense, the process of constructing or building a model requires statistical thinking. <About the Relationship Between Models and Current Systems> (Points to Consider When Reflecting) 1) It is necessary to consider that preconceived notions and experiences may not be correct. 2) To think about the essence of a model, I believe it is effective to utilize category theory.

Nonlinear propagation control technology considering the interaction of ultrasound - Optimization technology for ultrasound -

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed "nonlinear ultrasonic propagation control technology" that takes into account the acoustic characteristics of ultrasonic systems (measuring and analyzing ultrasonic interactions) through the manufacturing technology of sound pressure measurement analysis devices (ultrasonic testers) and megahertz ultrasonic oscillation control probes. With the technology developed this time, it has become possible to achieve dynamic control of ultrasound tailored to specific purposes, based on the measurement and analysis of various interactions involving the target objects, ultrasonic equipment, and tools, through "ultrasonic oscillation (oscillators, transducers, etc.)." Note: Autocorrelation, bispectrum, power contribution rate, impulse response. In particular, by detecting and confirming the interactions between ultrasound and target objects concerning harmonics, effective control for cleaning complex shapes and precision parts (liquid circulation, tools, methods of securing cleaning objects, etc.) becomes clear. Therefore, appropriate selection of ultrasonic frequencies and combinations of transducers with different ultrasonic frequencies can be determined based on the target objects. This is an effective ultrasonic utilization technology tailored to specific purposes for processing, cleaning, surface modification, and promoting chemical reactions.

Regarding sound pressure measurement data, a classification and evaluation technique for ultrasonic propagation states using feedback solutions of time-series data—self-correlation and bispectrum.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has been manufacturing and selling measurement and analysis systems for ultrasonic vibrations since April 2012. The system allows for visual confirmation of the nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound (acoustic streaming) and cavitation effects through graphs, considering elastic wave propagation in the analysis of the measured data. To account for the "nonlinear phenomena" in the complex variations of ultrasonic usage conditions, we analyze the autocorrelation and bispectrum using autoregressive models of time series data to evaluate and apply these changes. We have realized numerous new utilization methods according to various purposes. Ultrasonic propagation characteristics: 1) Detection of vibration modes (changes in autocorrelation) 2) Detection of nonlinear phenomena (changes in bispectrum) 3) Detection of response characteristics (analysis of impulse response characteristics) 4) Detection of interactions (analysis of power contribution rates) Note: "R" is a free statistical processing language and environment. - autcor: autocorrelation analysis function - bispec: bispectrum analysis function - mulmar: impulse response analysis function - mulnos: power contribution rate analysis function

[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.
