Application of measurement, analysis, and evaluation techniques related to ultrasonic propagation conditions — Providing know-how for optimal control of ultrasound.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed design and manufacturing technology for ultrasonic dedicated tanks by applying measurement and analysis techniques related to ultrasonic propagation conditions. With the technology developed this time, we can achieve efficient utilization of ultrasound suitable for ultrasonic cleaning and surface modification, as well as dynamic control of cavitation and acoustic flow, and propagation conditions for target objects, for ultrasonic dedicated tanks ranging from a maximum length of 3 cm (liquid volume 5 cc) to 600 cm (liquid volume 8000 liters), tailored to specific purposes. In conventional tank (or transducer) design and manufacturing, insufficient consideration of acoustic characteristics often leads to uneven and unstable phenomena due to interference and attenuation of vibrations, making ultrasonic lifespan and tank troubles more likely to occur. This technology can detect issues (various distributions of cleaning solutions, installation methods of tanks and transducers) even in existing tanks and transducers, allowing for improvements and enhancements. --- Provided Know-How --- 0) Design and manufacturing methods for devices 1) ON/OFF control of ultrasound 2) ON/OFF control of liquid circulation 3) Provision of optimization know-how 4) Methods for utilizing megahertz ultrasound

Application of sweep oscillation control technology to control nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic system technology that enables control of ultrasonic propagation states above 1-700 MHz by utilizing a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation control probe for ultrasonic equipment. This is a new application technology based on the measurement, analysis, evaluation, and techniques of ultrasonic propagation states, applicable to precision cleaning, processing, stirring, welding, plating, and more. By utilizing the acoustic properties (surface elastic waves) of various materials, ultrasonic stimulation can be controlled for several tons of target objects even in a 1000-liter water tank with ultrasonic output below 20W. It was developed as an application method for nonlinear phenomena through an engineering (experimental and technical) perspective on elastic wave phenomena and an abstract algebraic ultrasonic model. The key point is the use of tools (elastic bodies: metal, glass, resin). By confirming the ultrasonic propagation characteristics depending on the conditions of the target object, it is important to address it as an original nonlinear resonance phenomenon (Note 1). Note 1: Original Nonlinear Resonance Phenomenon This phenomenon occurs due to the generation of harmonics resulting from original oscillation control, realized at high amplitudes through resonance phenomena, leading to ultrasonic vibration resonance phenomena.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology that utilizes "the technology to control nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound" to "control ultrasonic stimulation according to its intended purpose." This technology controls ultrasound (cavitation and acoustic flow) tailored to specific objectives by measuring and confirming the interactions within containers, using ultrasonic control via a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation probe. Note: Ultrasonic Control By setting the oscillation conditions for sweep oscillation and pulse oscillation using two types of nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probes, it dynamically controls high-frequency propagation states above 30 MHz through high sound pressure resonance phenomena and harmonic generation phenomena (nonlinear phenomena). Note: Ultrasonic Control "Precision Cleaning Example" Sweep Oscillation: 70 kHz – 15 MHz, 15 W Pulse Oscillation: 13 MHz, 8 W Note: Ultrasonic Control "Nano-Level Stirring Example" Sweep Oscillation: 880 kHz – 22 MHz, 12 W Pulse Oscillation: 14 MHz, 10 W In particular, the dynamic characteristics of harmonics through acoustic flow control enable reactions and responses at the nano level.
