Development technology for ultrasonic probes and ultrasonic oscillation control systems - Aging treatment of piezoelectric elements.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to adjust the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of ultrasonic elements (piezoelectric elements) based on measurement, analysis, and evaluation results regarding the propagation state of ultrasound, utilizing ultrasonic systems (sound pressure measurement, oscillation control). To utilize the surface acoustic waves of ultrasonic elements (piezoelectric elements) according to specific purposes, special surface treatments are performed on the element surface. It allows for adjustments to the sound pressure level and frequency range of the propagating ultrasound. By realizing dynamic ultrasonic propagation control through the combination of ultrasound (oscillation control) and surface acoustic waves, it has evolved into an adjustment technology based on the characteristics derived from the analysis of sound pressure data. The key point is the optimization of oscillation conditions (waveform, output, frequency, variations, etc.) that enables efficient control of nonlinear phenomena caused by surface acoustic waves. As specific technologies mentioned above, we provide consulting services for system technologies that control nonlinear phenomena (bi-spectral) resulting from the interaction of ultrasound with tanks and tools, tailored to specific purposes (cleaning, stirring, processing, welding, surface treatment, stress relief treatment, inspection, etc.).

Application of technology to analyze and evaluate the dynamic characteristics of ultrasound.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a method (system) for the analysis and evaluation of ultrasound, applying "measurement, analysis, and control" technology related to the nonlinearity of ultrasound. We are providing on-site support for the additional installation of a degassing fine bubble generation liquid circulation system utilizing this technology. To utilize (control) the complex and changing conditions of ultrasound in a stable manner, we offer on-site services to add and confirm sound pressure measurements for the degassing fine bubble generation liquid circulation system in specific tanks present at the site. **Explanation of Degassing Fine Bubble Generation Liquid Circulation Technology** By ensuring appropriate liquid circulation and the diffusibility of fine bubbles, a uniform state of cleaning liquid is achieved. Ultrasound propagates through the uniform liquid, generating a stable state of ultrasound. From this state, liquid circulation control is performed to realize the desired ultrasonic effects (propagation state). This involves achieving a uniform sound pressure distribution throughout the tank, optimizing ultrasound, liquid circulation pumps, fine bubbles, etc. The operational control becomes the know-how for individual tanks.

[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.
