Control technology for acoustic flow (nonlinear phenomena) using a portable ultrasonic cleaner.

Ultrasound consulting specialized in measurement and analysis of ultrasonic propagation conditions.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute conducts consulting related to ultrasonic applications using a technology that measures, analyzes, and evaluates the propagation state of ultrasound, applying feedback analysis techniques based on multivariate autoregressive models. By organizing the measurements, analyses, and results obtained using ultrasonic testers in chronological order, we establish and confirm new evaluation criteria (parameters) that indicate the appropriate ultrasonic state for specific purposes. Note: - Nonlinear characteristics (dynamic characteristics of acoustic flow) - Response characteristics - Fluctuation characteristics - Effects due to interactions By developing original measurement and analysis methods that consider the acoustic properties of the target object and surface elastic waves, we deepen our understanding of the relationships between various effects related to vibration phenomena, drawing on the principles of statistical mathematics. As a result, there is an increasing number of cases demonstrating that new nonlinear parameters are highly effective regarding the propagation state of ultrasound and the surface of the target object. In particular, evaluation cases related to cleaning, processing, and surface treatment effects lead to successful control and improvement based on good confirmations.

Combination technology of function generator and ultrasonic probe

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic oscillation control technology that enables the utilization of ultrasonic propagation states above 100 MHz by applying a function generator and ultrasonic probe to 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, it is possible to control ultrasonic stimulation above 100 MHz to the target object with an ultrasonic output of less than 20 W, even in a 1000-liter water tank. This 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 to confirm the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of the target object, and it is important to set the oscillation conditions of the function generator as a control method for the original nonlinear resonance phenomenon (Note 1). Note 1: Original Nonlinear Resonance Phenomenon This refers to the resonance phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations that occurs when the generation of harmonics caused by original oscillation control is realized at a high amplitude due to resonance phenomena.

Leading to new applications of ultrasound from sound pressure and vibration data of ultrasound.

Application of ultrasonic sound pressure measurement, analysis, and evaluation technology The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a method for the analysis and evaluation of ultrasound (system technology) that applies measurement, analysis, and control technology related to the nonlinearity of ultrasound. Using this technology, we will provide measurement, analysis, and evaluation support for ultrasonic devices. For specific support and costs, please contact us via email. *Comment* Currently, regarding the use of ultrasound, I believe it is very difficult to detect and confirm the optimal ultrasonic state for the intended purpose. Therefore, by incorporating "sound pressure data" into the daily management of ultrasound, we aim to resolve the relationship with the final evaluation state (defect rate, yield, etc.) through the accumulation and analysis of statistical data. By analyzing using time-series data analysis technology, effective improvements have been realized. As a result of continuing such improvements, the number of successful cases using low-output ultrasonic oscillation control has increased. We have been manufacturing and selling our original product: ultrasonic systems (sound pressure measurement analysis, oscillation control) since March 2021.

[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.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet.

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.
