Improvement process for ultrasonic propagation efficiency due to harmonics above 200 MHz.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has made it possible to control the nonlinear propagation state of ultrasound by measuring, analyzing, and controlling the propagation state of ultrasound and applying it as the acoustic characteristics of the target object. As a result, we have developed a technology that efficiently alleviates the residual stress on the surface of components and homogenizes the entire surface. With this technology to alleviate surface residual stress, we have improved fatigue strength against metal fatigue and achieved uniformity in various surface treatments. In particular, by considering the guided waves (surface elastic waves) of the target object in the setting and control of the ultrasonic propagation state, we have developed control methods, tools, and systems that realize effective dynamic changes in the target object as a certain range of stimuli that include nonlinear phenomena. We have confirmed a wide range of effects on various surfaces of metal parts, plastic parts, and powder materials. This technology is offered as a consulting service.

Technology for controlling nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound (acoustic flow)

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic cleaning technology that enables control of acoustic flow (ultrasonic propagation state) in the range of 1-100 MHz by utilizing a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation control probe for 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, ultrasonic stimulation can be controlled even in a 1000-liter water tank with an ultrasonic output of less than 20W. It 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 the use of tools (elastic bodies: metals, glass, plastics). By confirming the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves based on the conditions of the target object, it is important to address it as an original nonlinear resonance phenomenon.

[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.
