Ultrasonic oscillation and control technology based on measurement and analysis using an ultrasonic tester.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena by utilizing the interactions generated from simultaneously oscillating two types of ultrasonic probes from one oscillation channel of a function generator. Note: Nonlinear (resonance) phenomena refer to the resonance phenomenon that occurs when the generation of harmonics produced by original oscillation control is realized at high amplitudes, resulting in ultrasonic vibration resonance. By optimizing the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of various materials according to their intended purpose, efficient ultrasonic oscillation control becomes possible. Through the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data from ultrasonic testers, this system technology allows for the dynamic changes of surface elastic waves to be controlled according to their intended use. In practical terms, multiple (two types of) ultrasonic probes generate multiple (two types of) oscillations (sweep oscillation, pulse oscillation), which create complex vibration phenomena (original nonlinear resonance phenomena), achieving high sound pressure at high frequency propagation states, or achieving low frequency propagation states with high sound pressure levels tailored to the desired natural frequency.

[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.
