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)

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed applied technologies that utilize surface acoustic waves through ultrasonic control. By combining ultrasound and surface acoustic waves, we achieve dynamic control of ultrasonic propagation. The key point is the ability to efficiently control nonlinear phenomena caused by surface acoustic waves.

Original product: Ultrasonic control technology based on measurement, analysis, and evaluation of acoustic flow using an ultrasonic tester.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a "flow-type ultrasonic (acoustic flow) control technology" that dynamically controls the propagation state of ultrasound (acoustic flow) through liquid circulation using a small pump. By using an ultrasonic tester to analyze the complex changes in flow and ultrasound, including the interactions of the water tank, liquid (microbubbles), and ultrasonic transducer, this system technology allows for the control of acoustic flow changes tailored to specific applications. In practical terms, it is a method for optimizing various interactions and vibration modes while considering the installation state of the liquid circulation device and the surface elastic waves of the target object, enabling ON/OFF control (or control of flow rate, flow velocity, etc.) of the current liquid circulation device. In particular, by utilizing the characteristics of the pump to alternately circulate liquid and gas, new effects of ultrasound and microbubbles are being realized. In nano-level applications, as a "flow-type ultrasonic system," efficient ultrasonic utilization has been achieved through "ultrasonic showers" that include frequency changes of over 300 megahertz.

Application of a new surface inspection technology using megahertz ultrasonic oscillation.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a new surface inspection technology using megahertz ultrasonic oscillation based on its track record of analyzing ultrasonic data propagating on the surface of target objects. Using this technology, we will evaluate the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of the items to be cleaned and compile a report proposing effective control, frequency, and output levels for ultrasonic cleaning machines. This method applies measurement and analysis techniques for "sound pressure and vibration" by controlling the oscillation of the ultrasonic probe. By using an original ultrasonic probe tailored to the vibration modes propagating on the surface of the target object, we can confirm the propagation state of ultrasonic waves in narrow grooves and edge areas. Furthermore, through original oscillation control, we will measure and analyze the dynamic characteristics of low-frequency propagation properties and the generation state of harmonics due to nonlinearity. This is an application of the new ultrasonic oscillation control technology. By utilizing nonlinear phenomena related to megahertz ultrasonic propagation states that match the acoustic characteristics of the target object, it is possible to detect the unique acoustic properties of the object.

[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.
